HEX-BEAM SP7IDX TECHNOLOGY ANTENNA is a broad band hex antenna
operating in PLUG AND PLAY system, its assembly time is 1-1,5h for one person. Its
installation doesn't require any additional tuning. Thanks to its small and compact
structure its turning requires only a small light rotor. The antenna works properly
even when it's installed relatively low over the ground.
Both antennas are equipped with all parts, required for a one, five or
six bands beam in range from 6 to 20 meters. The HEXBEAM SP7IDX
TECHNOLOGY offers mounted on the ground gain for front –to –back huge
amplify. The antenna offers the same values as a full size YAGA antenna. Has
unique shape: is much smaller, stiffly and makes less noise than typical
beams, it is lighter, easier to montage.
Please see its possible assembly methods on:

Attention !
correct wire tension adjust with black handle fixing left or right,
Do not tighten the wire too much, The wires should be a little slack
do not screw it tightly, not the wheel from the car !!!
Only minor adjustment is required if any, for proper tension of the wires.
Not to tight, not to much sag of the wires. After all we must realize
that my measurements are estimates too. Bear in mind that
these are only preliminary clip locations and
when the beam is installed, minor adjustments
might be needed to get the wire tensioned right.
