Post Assembly Instructions

Tune by adjusting the following lengths on each element.

Yagi and Dipole element lengths

* As a Yagi, Alpha Antenna does not support 30 or 40 meters on the HexTenna™. When deployed as a Dipole, tuning on 30/40 meters is achieved on the Dipole after the wire elements are installed, by equally retracting each element till resonance is achieved. The wire add-on elements are attached to the tip of each telescopic
element with the clips, and deployed to form an M-Shaped dipole. The wire element can be held straight by pushing the included stake into the ground or removing the stake and tying off either end with the included green insulators to a tree or other support. IMPORANT – Do not allow wire elements to lay on the ground.
