Top Loading Coil Assembly
1. Remove the loading coil parts from the separate packaging. Check to see that
each is present using the packing list at the end of this instruction manual.
2. Place a 4-40 screw in each of the 16 holes on the capacitance spoke rings and secure
them using a 4-40-kep nut. Refer to figure 4. Snug each one using a 5/16” nut driver.
Be careful not to lose the screws and nuts.
3. Place the large end of the 1 1/8” X 17” aluminum tubing over the end of the loading
coil assembly tube as shown in Figure 4.
4. Secure the tubing in place with one of the supplied hose clamps. Be sure to place the
connection tab between the aluminum tubing and the clamp as shown in Figure 4.
5. Place the remaining hose clamp onto the aluminum tube. This clamp is used to secure
the MK-80 to an existing AV-14AVQ antenna. See Figure 4.
6. Place four capacitance spokes into each of the spoke rings located on the
loading coil assembly and secure them in place by tightening the 4-40 screws.
