Antenna Installation
Step 1 – Mount tripod on a flat stable surface.
Step 2 – Loosen leg brace knob, extend legs,
and slightly tighten leg brace knob.
Step 3 – If optional “Counterpoise Kit” is being
used, insert Ring connector onto the bolt at the
base of the Alpha Match and secure it in place
with the Mast Adapter.
Step 3 – Attach the Alpha Match to the tripod’s
mast with the Mast Adapter.
Step 4 – Assemble then screw the whip onto
the Alpha Match.
Step 6 – Attach coax to the SO-239 on the
Alpha Match. Do not allow your coax to become
coiled upon itself as it will then form a choke
balun can detune the antenna.
Step 7 – Loosen mast section knob(s) &
carefully extend mast till mount is at a height of
6 feet 6 inches, then tighten mast section
knob(s).
Step 8 – Place the four stakes in the ground
from the optional “Counterpoise Kit”.
Tip – Counterpoise can help the performance of any vertical antenna but are not
required for the Alpha Antenna to function. If they are used to enhance
performance, then we recommend you use our Counterpoise Kit or your own
wire run affixed with ring connectors affixed in the manner described above,
utilizing four 15 foot or longer 16, 14, or 12 gauge wires
