Sure! Here are the step-by-step instructions for installing the ALPHA ANTENNA ProMaster Antenna:
1. Prepare your mounting installation: You can use a galvanized 1 3/8" fence rail placed 3-4 feet in the ground, a steel tripod from Alpha Antenna, or any other similar conductive or non-conductive mast that is no larger than 1 3/8" in diameter.
2. Lay the 6 tapered vertical antenna elements end to end flat on the ground. Insert each section into the next until each element passes the slit of the other by ¼ inch, and secure each section with a stainless steel clamp.
3. Place the aluminum mounting plate hardware onto the supporting item (mast or tripod) and tighten the U-Bolts.
4. Mount the vertical antenna element into the U-Bolts opposite of those used to mount the aluminum mounting plate. Use the included rubber offsets under the associated U-Bolts on the mounting plate to secure the vertical element.
5. Place the o-ring connector with red shrink tube, which feeds the vertical element, over the top bolt on the Alpha Match. Secure the ring connector in place with the included nut. Pull the o-ring connector out as though it were a guy wire and do not allow it to lay flat on the ground.
6. Place the o-ring connector with red shrink tube, which feeds the single 25' NVIS element (or four 35' NVIS elements, if applicable), over the top bolt on the Alpha Match. Secure the ring connector in place with the included nut. Pull the o-ring connector out as though it were a guy wire and do not allow it to lay flat on the ground.
7. Attach the o-ring connector with black shrink tube of the Grounded Counterpoise element to the bottom bolt on the Alpha Match. Secure the ring connector in place with the included nut.
8. Mount the fully assembled vertical element onto the mounting installation prepared in step 1. Drive the ground wire's stake into the ground at least 4 inches.
9. Attach your coaxial feedline to the SO-239 on the Alpha Match.
