#5 - FEEDLINE ASSEMBLY
Before attaching the feedline permanently, tune the antenna as
outlined on page 1. The antenna is designed for use with 50 Ohm
coaxial cable terminated with a PL-259 connector. Any length of
feedline can be used with your A50-5S.The shortest length of cable
will have the least loss. A connector boot is included for use with your
new antenna. (Figure F) Slide the boot over the cable before
attaching your PL-259. Coat only the outside connector threads and
shell with silicone grease. Do not coat the center pin or receptacle.
After the PL-259 is firmly screwed on to the antenna connector, slide
the vinyl boot over the connector and against the mast bracket. Tape
the feedline to the boom and down the mast. It's a good idea to form
a drip loop in the coax to help protect the connector from water
damage (figure G).
