Make sure that the flanged nut is screwed onto the element.
Note that the flange part of the nut MUST face toward the
insulator. See Figure 1.
After removing the "holding" screw, insert the element into the
insulator and through the lug on the inside. Secure the element
by screwing the other nut (taken from the "holding" screw (onto
the end of the element inside the chassis. See Figure 1.
Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 to install the other element.
If you have purchased the MFJ-1766, you will have to assemble
another Chassis assembly. Use the same instruction as in step 1
thru 4.
Installation Instructions
MFJ-1274: Single 5/8 Wave Super-Gain Antenna
The Super-Gain antenna can be mounted on any 1" to 1-1/2"
tubular mast. The mast my be a conductive (metal) or a non-
conductive material.
For optimum performance the antenna should be mounted as high as
possible. However, if the mast itself is located at a high
elevation, such as a hill or mountain, the need for a tall mast
will not be as critical.
The antenna may be mounted horizontally or vertically. The
antenna should be mounted horizontally for SSB and mounted
vertically for FM operation.
Once you have mounted the antenna, connect the feedline to the
SO-239 on the antenna chassis assembly.
MFJ-1766: Dual 5/8 wave Super-Gain antenna
If you are installing two 5/8 wave Super-Gain antennas, you may
stack each Super-Gain antenna on top of each other on the same
mast. Each antenna must be separated by a distance of 12 feet
(antenna mount-to-antenna mount). See Figure 2. You may also
install the two antennas horizontally. Again separate them by
12 feet.
