295XP6 ASSEMBLY MANUAL 

6. Install the 8-32 x 1/4” set screws (internal Allen head - tool supplied) into the SHORTING BARS. Slide the bars on the 1/4” 

Driven Element Block Rods and the 3/8” driven element rods. Position the shorting bars to the specified dimension on the 

DIMENSION SEET, measured BETWEEN THE OUTER FACE OF THE DRIVEN ELEMENT BLOCK AND THE INNER 

FACE OF THE SHORTING BAR. 

Now tighten the set screws.  

 

VERTICAL ELEMENT ASSEMBLY 

1.  Repeat steps #1 through #6 for the Vertical elements, using the DIMENSION SHEET as your guide to the lengths and 

spacings. Mount the VERTICAL driven element block to the LEFT side of the boom (as viewed from the rear) with the 

two balun connectors facing forward (see Dimension Sheet).  

 

COMPLETING ANTENNA ASSEMBLY 

1.  Before installing the Baluns, thread 3/8” seal nuts fully onto all “F” connectors on both the horizontal and vertical driven 

element blocks, with the black Neoprene face of the nuts facing out. Attach Baluns to the Blocks as shown on the figure 

on the last page. Tighten the connectors gently using a 7/16” end wrench. Once the connectors are tight, back the seal 

nuts out and finger-tighten firmly up against the face of the connectors (or tighten gently with 1/2” end wrench). A lot of 

torque is     unnecessary. Form baluns close to the boom and secure with a nylon cable tie. Also secure feed coax with 

cable ties. Ties should be snug but not crushing or kinking the coax.  

 

2. Attach the 3 x 4 x .125” BOOM TO MAST PLATE about 1” from the rear of the antenna with two 1” U-Bolts. On the        

opposite side of the plate loosely install the two sets of 2” cradles with 5/16-18 x 3” bolts, lock washer and locknuts.  

 

3. Attach feedlines and fasten to the boom with cable ties. To provide stress relief use a nylon tie to secure feed coax near 

connector on each block. Route feedlines to rear of boom and secure again.
