OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
To prepare the antenna for operation, attach the telescoping rod antenna
element to the top of the ground plane box.
Connect the rod antenna by pushing straight down on the female
connector on top of the amplifier. Do not apply excessive sideways force,
as this can cause the antenna center-pin to break.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
The ground plane can be mounted to any tripod with a 1/4-20 attaching stud.
Extend the rod antenna to 41" (104 cm) above the ground plane. Connect the
output BNC connector on the side of the antenna to the output of a 50
generator or amplifier. Establish a ground connection to the ground plane if
required by the test specification.
