Wire Element Installation and MatchBoxx Connections
The Wire Element included is 45 feet long. This will allow you to tune from 80 meters through 10
meters. If your installation will not allow a 45 foot length, the wire may be cut to 26 feet which will
allow you to tune on 40 through 10 meters.
Weave the soldered terminal on the wire antenna element through the serpentine insulator installed
on the
SMBA-2
shelf and connect it to the MatchBoxx wing nut titled "ANT" as shown below.
Note the way the wire is woven through the end insulator, especially the side where the antenna
wire is coming from. There is a dip or cupped out area on the bottom to assist in a smooth wire
transition point.
The three wires are
connected
to
the
MatchBoxx
as
shown.
