3.
Loosen the collet holding the whip. Use the included hex
screwdriver to turn the allen head set screw at the top of
the whip base counterclockwise.
4.
Adjust the whip element until it is approximately halfway
down in the whip base.
5.
Press the transmit switch and observe the meter reading
(refer to your SWR meter’s user’s guide for more details on
using the meter).
6.
Raise the whip element by approximately 1/8” increments
to see if the meter reading can be reduced. Repeat the
procedure starting from the center position and lowering
the element.
Different SWR readings may be found when the antenna is
located at different points. Determine experimentally, by
trial and error, just where the antenna must be mounted
to provide the lowest SWR reading. Readings below 2 are
acceptable for most installations.
