SECTION 1V - ANTENNAS (INSTALLATION)
FIGURE 1
.DOUBLET ANTENNA OPERATION
The doublet antenna is a relatively inexpensive and efficient antenna.
1. Be sure antenna used is the correct one for the desired frequency. See #5 below.
2. A ground stake and wire are shown. These are not necessary for doublet operation, but
serve only as a static discharge path.
3. The dipole may be supported from any convenient objects such as poles, trees,
buildings, etc.
4. The maximum signal is received and transmitted broadside to the antenna.
5. The length (L) of each 1/2 of the antenna is:-
L =
234
freq. (MHz) of channel
preferably, the antenna height (H) = length (L)
6. TO OPERATE: Set up antenna and connect leads to the SBX-11A, one to each binding
post. Connect ground assembly if needed. Antenna is now ready for operation - no
tuning is necessary.
