FEATURES
The M2KT36XA is the result of many hours spent on perfecting the original KLM KT-34XA through computer
optimization confirmed by range and actual on-air tests. Five elements are active on 20 and 15 meters and all
six are working on 10 meters! This is the hottest performing tribander on the market! A dual driven element
(log cell) creates a rig pleasing, flat match, and broad gain & front to back curves across 10, 15, and 20m. A 3
kW 4:1 balun efficiently matches the antenna to 50. All hardware has been upgraded to our machined
shorting bars and rugged center element mounts. This is the strongest tribander on the market! We probably
could have called it the “KB36XA” cuz it does! (“KB” = Kicks Butt).

Model No: KT36XA

Tools: Phillips head screw driver, ‘green’, 11/32” nutdriver, 7/16” wrench, 7/16” socket, socket wrench,
tape measure, and a friend.
NOTE: To prevent galling of the stainless steel hardware, apply a light coating of Penetrox to all bolts
and screws. The term ‘SWAGE’ refers to a physical reduction made in one diameter of tubing in order to
fit into or over another.
1. SHORTING BARS
Included with this kit are five different shorting bars, pictured in Figure 1. First locate the 10m shorting bars and
shorting bar insulators (black or white). For each 10m shorting bar press a single shorting bar insulator into the
large hole. This can be done initially with a vise or with a hammer and a block of wood. After the insulator has
been partially set into the hole, take two element clamp plates and center the shorting bar on top
of the two plates. Now place the block of wood on top of the
insulator and give a final strike. You should hear a snap. This is
the indication that the insulator has been secured. Locate the
small container of Penetrox and for each shorting bar, apply a light
coating to the walls as indicated in the figure. Next install the 8-32
hardware listed to the right of each part into each respective
shorting bar. Remember to apply a light coating of Penetrox to the
threads of each screw. Finger tighten each locknut for now.
2. CAPACITOR TUBE ASSEMBLY
There are three sizes of capacitor tubes. Tube sizes 8” and 10”
are for the 10m capacitor while the 16” pieces are for 15m. Locate
the shorter 3/4” diameter tubes and arrange them according to
length. Also locate the bag of capacitor caps. As shown in Figure
2, starting with the 8” tube, lay a capacitor cap on a flat surface
and with your own strength press one of the tube ends into the
cap. Now slide on the shorting bar all the way to the cap, turn the
tube over, and install another cap. Each capacitor cap will engage
the 3/4” tube 3/8”(.375) so a measurement can be taken to insure
complete engagement of the caps to the tube, simply measure
between the inside edge of the two installed caps, it should be
5/8”(.625 to 3/4”(.750) shorter than the capacitor tube being
measured. Repeat this procedure for the 10” capacitor tube. For the 16” tubes follow the same procedure but
slide on a different shorting bar as shown in the figure.
KT36XA ASSEMBLY MANUAL

3. CAPACITOR ASSEMBLIES ONTO LONGER 3/8” TUBES
Locate the ten longer 3/8” diameter tubes. Upon inspecting the tubes, you’ll notice there are two holes drilled on
one side only. The holes are to prevent moisture build up inside the capacitor tubes and to provide pressure
equalization. Denote the hole side of the tube by making a identifying mark on the tube ends, with a pen or
marker. Following the information in Table 1, make another mark on the hole side of the tube indicating the
location of where to initially
center the two capacitor
tubes. As shown in Figure 3 below, make this measurement from the side that has the shorter distance from
hole to tube end. Now pair up the capacitor assemblies with the correct 3/8” tube sizes using the first three
columns of Table 1.
For each set of capacitor tube assemblies and 3/8” tubes, insert the 3/8” tube as shown in Figure 3 into the back
end of the 15m capacitor assembly. Move the capacitor up the length of the tube until the face of the black
capacitor cap ON THE SHORTING BAR SIDE of the capacitor assembly is 1/8” to 1/4” from the mark you made.
Now slide on the 10m capacitor tube assembly up the length of the tube in the same fashion, making sure that
the face of the capacitor cap is also 1/8” to 1/4” from the mark. There should now be a 1/4” to 1/2” separation
distance between the two capacitor assemblies. This is not a critical dimension it provide a gap between the two
caps to prevent water wicking.

4. GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF HALF ELEMENT SECTIONS
We recommend assembling the half element sections on
a clean, flat surface. There is an assembly drawing for
each of the six elements with both the right and left
halves shown on each page. We also recommend
briefing yourself with the general directions before
skipping to the assembly drawings.
The general assembly procedure for a half element section
begins with laying each capacitor assembly on a level
surface, with the 10m capacitor tube on the left hand side.
Locate the two swaged 3/4” dia. tubes and the 5/8 x 6”
fiberglass rod. NOTE: BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT
LENGTH 3/4” SECTIONS MATCHING UP WITH THE 10M
CAPACITOR LENGTH. Insert the fiberglass rod into the
LIGHTLY swaged end side of the longer 3/4” section. Align
the two holes and secure loosely with a single 8-32 x 1” screw
and lock nut in the outer hole as shown in Figure 4. Next
slide the other end of the fiberglass rod into the center hole of the 10M shorting bar connected to the 10m
capacitor. Slide the larger diameter swage of the shorter 3/4” X 12” tubing through the hole of the shorting bar
connected to the 15m capacitor tube. Secure with a single 8-32 x 1” screw and locknut, again through the
OUTER HOLE in the figure. Now insert the inner two 8-32 x 1” screws and locknuts, and tighten LIGHTLY.
NOTE: IF YOU OVER TIGHTEN, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE THE SHORTING BARS TO FINAL
POSITION. Slide the two shorting bars right up against the two inner locknuts as shown. Now tighten all four
inner and outer screws and locknuts. Position the capacitor tube assembly so that the gap rests in between the
two shorting bars and MAKE SURE THE MARKS YOU MADE ON THE 3/8” TUBE ARE UP. Tighten all of the 8-
32 hardware installed to this point.
Locate the appropriate 1/2” element tip section and insert the end with 2 holes into the 3/4 x 12” swaged end.
Secure the 1/2” tip with two 8-32 x 1” screws and locknuts. With a tape measure hooked to the inner edge of the
15m capacitor tube shorting bar, make a mark on the 3/8” tube at the dimension called out for the 15m shorting
bar. Slide the 15m shorting bar onto the 3/8 and 1/2“ tube and set the inner edge of the bar to the mark. Install
two 8-32 x 1” screws, add locknuts, align with the other bars and tighten.
Locate the 10m shorting bar and the shorter 3/8” tube. Using a tape measure connected to the inner edge of the
10m capacitor tube shorting bar, mark the dimension called out for the 10m shorting bar. Slide on the 10m
shorting bar, set the inner edge to the mark and tighten the top 8-32 screw. Now insert the shorter 3/8” tube
through the other hole on the 10m shorting bar and into the free hole on the 10m capacitor tube shorting bar.
Allow the tube to extend 1” past the shorting bar connected to the 10m capacitor and tighten the 8-32 hardware
on both of the shorting bars.
Using the general directions above and the six TIP DIMENSION / ASSEMBLY drawings, proceed in fabricating
the 12 half element sections. After double checking your dimensions and making sure that your elements are
labeled correctly proceed to the next step.
KT36XA ASSEMBLY MANUAL

5. HF CLAMP PLATE PAIR ASSEMBLY
Locate the 11 element clamp plates, the Balun ‘L’-Bracket, 2-1/2” U-bolt & Saddle, and element clamp cap.
Assemble the plates into six pairs with the radii facing each other using four 1/4-20 x 2” bolts. On one of the
‘alike’-pair combinations, attach the Balun ‘L’-Bracket to the outside clamp plate with the flat side up and higher
than the plates. Install the 2-1/2” U-bolt & Saddle combination on the top side of the ‘L’-Bracket and secure with
5/16” nuts and lockwashers. This assembly will be used for the FRONT DRIVEN ELEMENT. Finger tighten all
the hardware. The ‘oddball’ plate combination of element clamp plate and smaller clamp cap, will be used for
DIRECTOR #2.
6. FRONT AND REAR DRIVEN ELEMENT ASSEMBLY
Take the element clamp plate pair assembly for the FRONT DRIVEN ELEMENT (previous step) and one of the
‘alike’ element clamp pairs, and for both insert a 7/8 x 14-3/4” fiberglass rod through the plates. Orient the four
holes up and make sure the rod is centered. Tighten the four bolts evenly on the clamp plates. Locate the four
7/8” poly disc insulators. Slide a poly disc onto both ends of each 7/8” fiberglass rod and position them right up
against the element clamp plates. If the discs won’t fit onto the rod, try soaking them in HOT water for a few
minutes. Locate four of the 1 x 72” SOE (swaged one end) tubes. Select two to be used for the FRONT
DRIVEN ELEMENT. Locate the two ‘T’-match shorting bars and slide one onto each of the straight ends of the
1” tubes you have selected. The other pair of 1 x 72” SOE tubes will be for the REAR DRIVEN ELEMENT. For
all four 1” tubes, slide the straight ends on both sides of the two fiberglass rods. Align the holes, insert two 1/4-
20 x 2” bolts up through the bottom, and temporarily lay the two assemblies flat. Locate the eight 3/8” clamp
blocks. Spread a little Penetrox on each clamp block face. Slide two clamp blocks with their faces towards one
another onto the 1/4-20 bolt posts on each element assembly and thread on the 1/4-20 locknuts. Do not tighten
the locknuts at this time. Paying close attention to the DIMENSION SHEET, insert the individual element halves
for the FRONT and REAR DRIVEN ELEMENTS into the swaged ends of the 1 x 72” tubes. Secure them with 8-
32 x 1-1/4” screws and locknuts. Make sure the flat part of the ‘L’-Bracket is pointed in the same direction as the
capacitor tube sides of the FRONT
DRIVEN ELEMENT halves.
7. REFLECTOR, DIRECTOR #1, AND
DIRECTOR #3 ASSEMBLY
Locate the remaining six 1 x 72” SOE
(swaged one end) tube sections and the
three 7/8 x 36” aluminum center sleeves.
With the three remaining pairs of ‘alike’
element clamp plates, insert a 7/8” center
sleeve and slide a 1 x 72” tube section onto
both sides of the sleeve. Align the two
holes and secure with 1/4-20 x 1-1/2” bolts
and locknuts. Orient the tubes so that the
locknuts are down and centered. Tighten
the 1/4-20 hardware evenly. A 1” gap
between the two tube sections is normal.
8. DIRECTOR #2 ASSEMBLY
Locate the 1 x 20” SBE (swaged both ends)
center support tube and insert this piece
between the plates of the remaining
‘oddball’ element clamp assembly. Orient the tube holes up, center the tube, and tighten the 1/4-20 hardware.
Now insert the two 3/4 x 48” SOE tubes into both ends of the center support tube and secure with 8-32 x 1-1/4”
screws and locknuts. Add the 1/2” element tip sections to the 3/4” tubes, securing them with 8-32 x 1” screws
and locknuts.
9. BOOM ASSEMBLY
Prior to assembling the boom, inspect each mating surface and holes for any metal chips or burrs. Apply a light
coating of PENETROX to the swaged ends of each piece. Using the DIMENSION SHEET as a guide, lay out
the five 3” pieces as shown. Note that the single straight section is the FRONT end of the antenna. Now
assemble the boom and secure the pieces together with 1/4-20 x 3-1/2” bolts and locknuts. Next insert the two
3/8 x 6” eyebolts through the holes at both ends of the boom. Secure them with 3/8” nuts and lockwashers.
KT36XA ASSEMBLY MANUAL

10. ELEMENT INSTALLATION
We advise that you elevate the antenna boom onto a couple of sawhorses or bucks for the remaining assembly
steps. Use the DIMENSION SHEET as a guide to properly install the six elements onto the boom. If you have
not labeled which side of the element faces towards the front of the antenna, you will want to pay close attention
to the DIMENSION SHEET. In fact, you might want to label them now. You also might want to have a friend
handy to keep the antenna from moving on you.
Place the REFLECTOR ELEMENT onto the boom in the orientation shown on the DIMENSION SHEET. Set the
outside edge of the element clamp plate 2-1/2” from the rear of the boom. Locate two 3” saddles and insert
two
1/4-20 x 3” bolts through each of the holes. Next attach the two saddles to the underside of the element clamp
plates, and lightly tighten the entire assembly, so the element won’t move. Using a tape measure hooked to the
outside edge of the clamp plate facing the rear, mark off the location for the outside edge of the element clamp
on the REAR DRIVEN ELEMENT assembly with a marking pen or pencil. Install the REAR DRIVEN ELEMENT
as you did for the REFLECTOR. BE CAREFUL! This element is not installed in the same orientation. Make
sure you follow the element placement on the DIMENSION SHEET. Continue installing the rest of the elements
in the same fashion. Since the 2nd director only has one element clamp plate, it requires just a single 3” saddle.
Also take note that this element can be placed on the boom with the clamp cap facing either the FRONT or
REAR of the antenna.
After all of the elements have been installed take a couple of steps back and look down from the end of the
antenna. Check to see if the elements are lined up with one another. If any need to be fixed, simply loosen the
saddles, straighten, and re-tighten.
11. INSTALLATION OF PHASING LINES
Locate the two 3/8” tube phasing lines, the phasing line insulator, and one cable tie. Insert both tubes into the
two holes on the insulator. Temporarily loosen the 1/4-20 locknuts located on the FRONT and REAR DRIVEN
ELEMENTS and slide the two phasing lines into the one of the 3/8” clamp block sets. Allow the ends of the
phasing lines to stick out 4” past the ends of the clamp blocks. Now pull the phasing lines back, guiding them
into the clamp block set on the other driven element. Now re-tighten the four 1/4-20 locknuts. Set the insulator
about midway between the two elements and secure it with large nylon tie inserted through the bottom hole and
around the boom.
12. BALUN INSTALLATION
Refer to the figures on DUAL DRIVEN AND T-MATCH ASSEMBLY for this procedure.
Loosen the 2-1/2” U-bolt on the L-bracket and insert the 4:1 HF Balun with the connector facing towards the front
of the antenna. Position the Balun so that the U-bolt hits the edge of the front cap. Now tighten the U-bolt just
enough to hold firmly in place. BE CAREFUL! Overtightening might crack the case of the Balun. On each of the
mounting posts on the balun attach the balun straps (shorter side).
13. ‘T’-MATCH INSTALLATION
Refer to the figures on DUAL DRIVEN AND T-MATCH ASSEMBLY for this procedure.
Locate the two 1/2 x 23-1/2” ‘T’-Feed tubes and 3/8 x 10” fiberglass insulator. Install the 3/8” fiberglass insulator
into one of the 1/2” ‘T’-feed tubes. Align the holes and temporarily secure with a 8-32 x 1” screw. Now feed the
undrilled ends of both ‘T’-feed tubes into the two ‘T’-match shorting bars. Slide one of them back so you can
install the other end of the 3/8” fiberglass rod into the other 1/2” tube. Align the holes and secure with another 8-
32 x 1” screw. With all of the hardware loose, rotate the entire ‘T’-Match assembly up so that the two 8-32
screws fit right into the two Balun straps. Secure the two 8-32 screws with two 8-32 locknuts. Make sure there
is ample room to connect your feedline to the balun. Now set the two shorting bars to the dimensions shown on
the DIMENSION SHEET and tighten all the hardware.
14. BOOM TO MAST PLATE INSTALLATION
Locate the boom to mast plate, 3” U-bolts & saddles, and 2” U-bolts & saddles. Install the four 2” U-bolts on one
side of the boom to mast plate. Center the plate at the location shown on the DIMENSION SHEET, and install it
using the 3” U-bolts, saddles, 3/8” nuts, and lockwashers. If possible, attach the feedline to the balun and route
it forward to about 18 feet from the rear of the boom. Seal the connector with black tape, coax seal or
equivalent. A 3” U-bolt pattern exists should you need to mount the antenna to a 3” mast.
KT36XA ASSEMBLY MANUAL

15. OVERHEAD GUY SUPPORT
To prepare the overhead guy system, begin by temporarily installing a 2” U-bolt through the TURNBUCKLE
PLATE and into the top set of 2” U-bolt holes on the boom to mast plate. Add a couple of 5/16” nuts to hold it in
place. UNSCREW the turnbuckle eyes / hooks until only a thread or two shows inside the turnbuckle body and
hook them to turnbuckle plate.
Uncoil the DACRON ROPE. Secure one end to rear eyebolt, taking two turns through the eyebolt, then adding
three TIGHT half-hitches. Pull hard on cord to set the knots. Repeat for the front eyebolt. Seal cord ends with
heat (lighter, propane torch, etc) and tape to main length.
Equalize cord length at turnbuckle plate and cut. Put two turns trough rear turnbuckle eye. Pull the Dacron rope
as tight as possible and add three TIGHT half-hitches. Repeat for the front cord section. Seal and tape cord
ends. When finished, the overhead guys should be taught and laying parallel with the boom. Now remove the
turnbuckle plate from the boom to mast plate and lift it temporarily to note the approximate height at which the
boom becomes level. ( usually about 3 feet).
During final installation on the tower / mast, secure the turnbuckle plate at the appropriate height with the 2” U-
bolt. Then lean or pull on the cords to increase the tension and help the knots take their final “set.” Make sure the
knots are not slipping. When the guy system has taken a “set”, loosen the 2” U-bolt and adjust turnbuckle plate
height until boom is straight and level. Finer adjustments can be made with the turnbuckles at any time, if
necessary.
This completes the ASSEMBLY. REMEMBER to support the feedline at the antenna boom and on the mast.
Leave an adequate feedline loop for rotation around the tower. When stacking this antenna with other H.F.
models, maintain at least 8’ separation; more if practical. Mount horizontally polarized VHF and UHF antennas
at least 40” above or below this antenna to minimize interaction.
