GUIDE:
BEFORE
YOU BEGIN.. . . .
1. Select an assembly area large enough to comfortably accoNnodate
overall antenna dimensions. A shallow box is handy for holding and
sorting the srualler hardware, as is a marking pen for identifying
components .
2. Some
set of sp
3/9"
simple tools are required:

To avoid damage to antenna components, be aware that most hardware
need only be moderatelv hand tiqhtened with screwdriver or spintite to
be secure. when using tools with mechanical leverage such as socket or
end wrenches, care must be taken not to over-torque nuts and danage
components .
3. Thoroughly unpack shipping box and check components and hardware
against the Parts List. If thele is a difference, Iook for a "Factory
Update/Change " sheet accornpanying the assembly instructions pEior to
contacting KLll.
4. For easiest and fastest assernbly, take a few moments before
starting to famj-liarize yourself with the assembly guide and the
antenna comDonents .

H.F. ELEMENT
CONSTRUCTION!
Each compLete antenna element is composed of tvro halves of
telescoping aLuminum tubing secured in the rniddle by a Lexan insulator.
Reflector/director element halves are electrically joined by a short
j umper strap. The driven elements are interconnected by phasing straps
and the front driven element provides the feedpoints, via an
applopriate ba1un, for the antenna.
