☐ Select the Wire
Assembly that is
labeled
17R
. This
is the 17M Reflector
Element. Carefully
unwrap the wire
bundle. Note that
the wire is folded
back upon itself at
both ends. These
are the outside ends
of the element.
Where the wire is
folded back upon
itself, this is the point on the wire where the Black Cable Clamp is located.
At the Reflector End of the antenna
, temporarily remove the 10-24 SS Anti-
vibration Hexnut and Black Cable Clamp, then insert the wire as shown in Fig.
71. Replace the Black Cable Clamp with wire and the Hex Nut on the Machine
Screw and tighten well. Position the Black Cable Clamp as shown in Fig. 72.
☐ At the other end of the wire from the
previous step, repeat the previous
step to fasten the wire within the
Black Cable Clamp located on
the other side of the Boom at the
Reflector End of the antenna as
shown in Fig. 73.
This completes the installation of the 17M
Reflector Element. The loose ends of the
element will be secured in a later step.
☐ Select one (1) of the two (2)
Wire Assemblies that is labeled
17D
. This is a 17M Driven
Element. Carefully unwrap
the wire bundle. Note that the
wire is folded back upon itself
at one end. This is the outside
end of the element. Connect
the ring terminal on the other
end of the wire and position it
at the terminal plate as shown
in Fig. 74. Remove the 10-24
SS Anti-vibration Hex Nut,
place the ring terminal over
the machine screw and replace
