General Description

The new Hy-Gain V-6R VHF antenna is a
collinear 5/8-wave omnidirectional vertical
antenna for the 51-54 MHz frequency range. The
V-6R features two sets of 1/4-wave radials
which properly decouple the lower 5/8-wave
radiator from the mast. It also features a 500
watt enclosed coil that matches the antenna to a
nominal 50 ohms.

The feedpoint is a female UHF connector that is
protected from the weather within the lower
radiator. The V-6R also features a mast-to-mast
bracket that will accept up to a 2 1/4 inch O.D.
mast.

SPECIFICATIONS

Assembly of Lower Radiator

Unpack the antenna and check the parts against
the parts list and drawings.

Select four of the radial clamps and associated
hardware and LOOSELY assemble them as
shown in Figure 1. Repeat the previous step for
the remaining four radial clamps.

Slide both assemblies onto the 1 1/8" 

61" tube

assembly (Item 16) as shown in Figure I and 4.
Tighten only the eight (8) screws close to the
tube to hold the clamps in place. Place a No. 16
tubing clamp (Item 19) over the slotted end of
the tube as shown in Figure 5.
