ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1) Unpack antenna and locate the hardware package.
2) Straighten any misaligned elements and tighten hardware if necessary. But do not touch
R1, DE or D1, as these have been factory set for minimum SWR.

vertical or horizontal polarization. (See drawings below)

4) Attach the feed line, and tape it to the mast. The connector should be sealed with electronic
grade RTV or equivalent.
5) The antenna SWR has been adjusted at the factory for less than 1.5:1. Additional tweaking
can be accomplished by adjusting the distance between the driven element and R1 and D1, or by
adjusting the shape of the driven element. NOTE: Do not attempt this adjustment unless the
proper equipment and qualified personnel are available.
6) If antennas are to be stacked, see "Instructions for Stacking Loop Yagis".
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, APPLY ANY TYPE OF SEALANT OR COATING TO THE
DRIVEN ELEMENT, T-ARMS OR CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY, OTHER THAN KRYLON®
CLEAR COAT. ANY OTHER COATING WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SWR AND VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
