Hy-Gain AV-14AVQ, Инструкция по эксплуатации, Страница: 6 / 23

CAUTION
All of the antenna dimensions must be set
on the mode chosen - all CW, all mid-
band or all phone. Mixing dimensions in
an attempt to improve another mode on
certain bands will only degrade
performance on all bands.
Refer to Figure 1 in assembling the main por-
tion of the antenna.
M1 and M2 Section
15-Meter Trap and M3
Section Assembly
Place two, untightened #10 tubing clamps
(Item No. 17) over the 1" x 8" long M3 section
(Item No. 8). Slide the M3 section part way
over the upper end of the 10-meter trap, then
slide the lower end of the 15-meter trap (Item
No. 14) into the M3 section. Set dimension
"C", as shown in Figure 1, and locate the M3
so that it is equally spaced between the two
traps.
Tighten the clamps around the ends of the M3
just enough to keep parts from slipping. They
will be fully tightened later.
Put a #16 tubing clamp (Item No. 18), un-
tightened, over the M1 section (Item No.
4)(the base is attached to it already). Slip the 1
1/8" x 52" M2 section (Item No. 7) into the
top of the M1 and set the M2 at dimension 'A',
as shown in Figure 1. Slide the clamp into
place around the top of the M1 and tighten it
just enough to keep the M2 from skipping. It
will be fully tightened later.
20-Meter Trap and M4
Section Assembly
Assemble these two parts like you did the M3
and the 15-meter trap. Use two more #10
tubing clamps, the 1" x 6 1/2" long M4 section
(Item No. 9) and the 20-meter trap (Item No.
15).
10-Meter Trap
Put an untightened #10 Tubing clamp (Item
No. 17) over the M2 section, then slip the 10
meter trap (Item No. 11), bottom first, into the
M2 section. (There is a plastic cover on the
top of all three parts.) Set the trap at
dimension "C", as shown in Figure 1. Slip the
clamp into place around the top of the M2
section and tighten it just enough to keep the
trap from slipping. It will be fully tightened
later.
NOTE: There is a threaded metal insert in one
end of the M5 section which will accept the
#10-24 x 1" bolt (Item No. 20), which will
hold the top hat in place. The end with the
insert must be at the top.
M5 Section
Put a #6 tubing clamp (Item No. 16), un-
tightened, over the swaged end of the 20-
meter trap. Slip the 7/16" x 56" long M5
section (Item No. 10) into the swaged end of
the trap and set dimension "E", as shown in
Figure 1. Slide the clamp in place around the
top of the swaged end of the trap tube and
tighten it just enough to keep the M5 from
slipping. It will be fully tightened later.
