Assembly Instructions
Important:
Remove the connector from the boom (4 screws). Turn the connector 90 degrees and reinstall with the copper rod sticking out
through the rubber grommet in the boom.
Thread each of the ¼” round elements with a #4-40 x ¾” stainless steel screw into the center of each element. This is to make sure all
the elements are threaded properly and that the screws start easy.
Lay out the elements according to size. The dimensions and position of each element are shown on the front page of these
instructions. Attach the elements to the boom as shown.
Caution:
Do NOT over tighten the screw or it will bend the element.
Turn the screw just until it is snug then ¼ turn more.
Then slide the plastic tube fo the gamma match over the copper rod. The plastic tube should go
through the rubber grommet at least 1/8”. Then slide the aluminum tube over the plastic tube.
Loosen the screw of the shorting bar and slide it over the driven element and the gamma match.

Be sure the plastic tube is inserted about 1/8” or more into the
rubber grommet in the boom. The aluminum tube will slide up
or down on the plastic to get the correct SWR measurement.
(Plus or minus ¼” for best SWR.)
