GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES: 

1.  If lightning is prevalent in your area,  an Eggbeater used in 

 a fixed installation should have the case or mast grounded. 

 

2.  Feedline should be good quality RG-58 or RG-213 type 50 

ohm coax cable. Belden 8214 or 9913 are excellent low-loss 

foam types and RG-8X is also good.  Connect the male "N" to the 

Balun case connector and, if a mast is used,  secure the cable to 

the mast with tape or nylon ties, beginning 4-6 inches below the 

connector and repeating every 12” down the mast. Be sure to 

leave a little slack where the cable passes the spring. 

 

3.  The Eggbeater produces an omnidirectional, circularly 

polarized pattern overhead and a linear polarized pattern at the 

horizon. 

 

This completes the assembly. 

TOOLS:  7/16” & 9/16” open ended wrenches 

MAY BE SHIPPED ASSEMBLED AT THE FACTORY’S DISCRETION 

1.  Unpack the two loop elements.  Insert each loop through the crossed 

holes of the insulator located at the top of the can assembly.  Pull the 

loops all the way through until the insulator lies at their midpoints. 

 

2.  Align the ends of the elements carefully with the four mounting 

terminals on top of the can assembly case.  Install the four screws with a 

screwdriver and tighten.  

 

3.  (OPTIONAL) Locate the radial plate and six 1/4 x 12-3/8” radials.  

Insert all six radials into the radial plate and tighten the six 8-32 x 1/4” set 

screws.    

 

4.  Attach the mast bracket and radial assembly to the can assembly 

using the supplied 3/8-24 x 1” bolt and lockwasher.    

 

5.  Lastly, assemble the 4 saddle clamps and attach them to the mounting 

bracket.
