2. Keep the antenna as parallel as you can. Turn the Terminal‐R up and the balun down. Use the
nonmetallic rope to fix the both ends of antenna to the pole.
3. After inserting the connector, Stretch the self‐fusing tape two times longer and wrap it around
the connector. Wrap the vinyl tape on the self‐fusing tape to keep weather resistance in case you
use it for a long time.
●Installation Image
Appearance and specifications are subject to change without notice.
●How to check VSWR
1. VSWR could be changed due to the environmental influence.
Check before using if VSWR is in the normal range(around 2.0 or less).
2. Measure VSWR in the shortest possible time, at the lowest power. Strong radio signals could
be blanketing.
3. As necessary, follow the below diagram.
Surrounding buildings, trees or low ground height could be the cause of high VSWR. 10m or more
above the ground is highly recommended.
