Loose Element Inserts -
Occasionally, one of the brass element inserts will loosen and turn inside the element's fiberglass
tubing. Sometimes it will turn far enough to break the wire connected to it.
The Ventenna Company will replace any element which experiences this condition, for free.
But, if you need to get back on the air quickly, you may be able to do repairs yourself. You can
find the repair instructions at "https://www.ventenna.com/App-Notes.html". Look for "How to
repair an HFp Element".
HFp-V Options
There are a number of mounting possibilities to use instead of the base plates - a large and a
small Clamp, a Mobile Mount Adapter, Magnetic Feet, a Back-Pack Mount and a Ground-Mount
Stake. The "HFp Mounting Accessories" flyer in the Manuals section of the website gives
details of these mounting setups.
There is an "80M Option" which allows setting the antenna to 60, 75, and 80 Meters. The
manual for this option (on the website) gives details about operating on these bands.
There is a "Dipole Add-on" option which adds in the extra parts needed to use the same highly-
configurable element system to set up a rotatable horizontal dipole using an extendable painter's
pole. The manual for the HFp-Dipole (on the website) gives details about this setup.
