ATTACHMENT OF
BALUN ASSEMBLY
Select the balun assembly (Item 31), the
connector bracket (Item 37), and the hardware
shown in Figure 6. Insert the 10-24 x 1 1/2 inch
bolt (Item 42) through the connector bracket
before attaching the bracket to the type "N"
connector on the balun assembly using 4-40
hardware (Items 44, 59, 57) as shown in Figure 6.
Attach the balun assembly with connector bracket
to the boom using 10-24 hardware (Items 42, 62,
54) as shown in Figure 6.
It you are assembling more than one antenna, for
stacking, ensure that the square solder lug and
shrink-tube marked side of the RG-303 balun are
on the same side of every antenna. This is very
important for proper phasing of 2 or more
antennas.
Attach the balun assembly to the T-match tubes
(Item 26) with #8 -32 hardware (Items 43, 58, 51)
as shown in Figure 6. Tighten all hardware
securely. The feedpoint end of the balun assembly
may be taped securely to the boom.
