DIMENSION
sheet for proper location of the shorting bar. Tighten the shorting bar in
place using a single 8-32 x 7/8” screw and lock nut.
12. Now Slide the 3/8” x 3/8” Vinyl cap over the Gamma Tube until it is flush with the end of the
Gamma Tube.
13. Slide the foam padded rear mount handle into place.
14.
For hand held operation
Route the feed line coax towards the rear of the antenna past the reflector element. Use the
supplied adapter for quick disconnect using a BNC connector. Secure the feed line coax to the
antenna boom with the supplied nylon ties.
For the best performance try to match the polarity of
the source and tracking antennas. When fixed mounting is required with the antenna
vertically polarized, make sure to orient the gamma tube with the vinyl cap facing up.
To maintain good VSWR and antenna pattern: Keep metallic masts, cross booms and the feed line
coax out of the element plane.
