Installing the
feed support arms
and tailpiece
Begin the antenna assembly by attaching the two feed support
arms to the Az/El mount-reflector bracket assembly. This is a
two-step process. First, you must connect the two feed support
arms to the assembly; then you will connect the tailpiece
(sometimes referred to as the “beaver tail”) to the ends of the feed
support arms.
1. Insert the feed support arms into the two sockets at the
bottom of the reflector bracket, as shown in Figure 9.
2. Fasten the feed support arms to the reflector bracket by
inserting a
5/16
-inch
×
¾-inch self-tapping bolt with flat
washer into each hole in the feed support arms, then tighten
until secure.
Note:
The two feed support arms are not identical. Be sure
to insert each arm into its appropriate socket as shown in the
figure, so that the holes in the feed support arms line up with
the corresponding holes in the reflector bracket.
