6.
Connect one end of the Flexible Radiator Loop
(b) to the left Radiator Loop Connection (f).
7.
Connect the other end of the Flexible Radiator
Loop to the right Radiator Loop Connection.
8.
Secure the top middle of the Flexible Radiator
Loop to the top middle of the Coupling Loop
with one of the attached Sticky Straps.
9.
Shape the Flexible Radiator Loop into a circular
shape. The Coupling Loop and Flexible Radiator
Loop should be in the same plane.
10.
Place the CHA F-LOOP 2.0 on a flat surface, such
as a table top, or attach the Aluminum Base
Plate (n) to a tripod or other compatible
antenna mount.
11.
Connect the Coaxial Cable Feedline (m) to the
Loop Connection (l).
12.
Secure the Coaxial Cable Feedline along the
Telescoping Mast to ensure easy tuning and
consistent low SWR.
13.
Perform an operational test (see procedure
below).
Double Flexible Loop Assembly
The CHA F-LOOP 2.0 Double Flexible Loop configuration allows you to use the CHA F-LOOP 2.0 on the 80 meter
ham band by extending the lower frequency of the CHA F-LOOP 2.0 down to 2.8 MHz. See Plate (4) and perform
the following steps.
Plate 4. Double Flexible Loop Antenna.
1.
Perform assembly of the Standard Single
Flexible Loop configuration.
2.
Disconnect one end of the Flexible Radiator
Loop (b)
“Loop 1”
from one of the Flexible
Radiator Loop Connections (f).
3.
Connect the free end of the Flexible
Radiator Loop
“Loop 1”
to the Loop
Extension Barrel Connector (r).
4.
Connect one end of the Flexible Radiator
Loop Extension (d)
“Loop 2”
to the open
Flexible Radiator Loop Connection from
step 2.
5.
Form the Flexible Radiator Loop Extension
“Loop 2”
into a loop, like the Flexible
Radiator Loop
“Loop 1”
.
6.
Attach the top of the Flexible Radiator Loop
Extension
“Loop 2”
to the top of the
Coupling Loop (c) using the attached sticky
strap.
7.
Connect the free end of the Flexible
Radiator Loop Extension
“Loop 2”
to the
open end of the Loop Extension Barrel
Connector.
8.
Set Band Switch (i) to the “A” position.
9.
Perform an operational test (see procedure
below).
Flexible Booster Loop Assembly (CHA F-LOOP 2.0 TOTAL)
The CHA F-LOOP 2.0 TOTAL uses the Flexible Booster Loop and a larger Coupling Loop to increase efficiency in the
60 to 15 meter ham bands. The CHA F-LOOP 2.0 TOTAL antenna should be installed near the radio set; either
indoors or in a sheltered outside area, such as a balcony or porch. Because the magnetic component of an
