Mounting The Antenna

For the best results, mount the antenna away from trees or other obstructions. Higher frequencies are noticeably affected by these obstructions.

The antenna is easy to install on any antenna mast or optional light-duty mount using simple hand tools. The antenna pack- age includes these parts:

Outside Mounting

1.Attach the antenna mounting bracket to the bottom of the antenna using the four #12 x 1/2" long self tapping screws and four #12 split lockwashers

2.Attach both mast clamps, U-bolts, four 1/4" split lockwash- ers, and four 1/4-20 hex nuts to the mounting bracket. Note: Do not tighten the hex nuts.

3.Plug one end of the 75-ohm coaxial downlead cable to the antenna’s jack and seal the connection with coax sealant tape or a weather boot.

Note: If your existing downlead is 300-ohm cable, you must replace it with 75-ohm coaxial cable. (300-ohm cable requires a matching transformer that significantly interferes with the antenna’s operation.)

4.Mount the antenna on the mast, and secure it by tightening the hex nuts evenly onto the U-bolts.
