146CP8 INSTALLATION TIPS & HINTS 

1.  The 146CP8 is a circular polarized antenna and creates a field in all planes or polarities. Performance 

DETERIORATES SIGNIFICANTLY if it is mounted on a metal (conductive) mast or crossboom. A mast or 
crossboom of any NON-CONDUCTIVE material must be used. Fiberglass is the prime choice for its strength and 
weather resistance. Mount the 166CP8 so that element tips are at least 12” from any conductive material (mast, 
tower, feedline, etc.). 

 
2.   Recommended feedlines, in order of preference: 
 

 

Andrews or Celwave 1/2” hardline 

 

 

Times LMR-400 or Belden 8214 

 

Try to keep the cable run to under 100 ft. to prevent excessive signal loss. 

 
3.   To maintain proper phasing when stacking two or more antennas, mount each with the same orientation of 

Driven Element Blocks. DO NOT MOUNT IN MIRROR IMAGE. See the Specification Sheet for stacking 
distances.  For more detailed stacking information contact M
