R7000
INSTALLATION
Following the guidelines in the location and adjustment sections above, place the antenna on its mast in its final operating location. If you plan
to install the antenna in a salty or corrosive environment, you may want to consider coating it with a clear marine varnish or equivalent
after
final assembly and adjustment has been completed.
Now connect your transceiver.
If you have any difficulties, reread the information above
and the helpful hints below.
HELPFUL HINTS
• Try to locate your R7000 as far away from TV antennas and their feedlines as possible. This will help to avoid overloading your television
with RF.
• The dimensions recommended in figure F are based on mounting the R7000 approximately 8 feet (2.4 meters) above the ground and 25
feet (7.5 meters) from surrounding objects. Antennas installed with less clearance may require additional adjustments.
• If you check the resistance across the coax connector on your R7000 you will find a DC short. This is normal. It does not mean that the
RF path is short circuited. It is approximately 50 Ohms at your operating frequencies.
• High VSWR is sometimes caused by poor contact between the matching network and the counterpoise rods. Make sure that corrosion has
not formed on the jumper strap terminals. Check to insure the hardware is tight.
• If your R7000 is very close to your shack you may experience RF on the feedline. Try lengthening your feedline several feet, placing an RF
ferrite bead on the coax, winding the feedline on a toroid or winding the coax in a 10 turn coil 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter.
• Weather sealing the matching network is not necessary. We have provided a large hole near the coax connector to allow air to circulate
through the box and to keep it dry. Keep this hole clear to avoid difficulties caused by humidity and condensation.
• Long periods (2 minutes or longer) of key down operation, such as RTTY, at high power (over 1000 Watts) may damage your R7000.
