_____________________________________________________________________________
WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THIS
PRODUCT NEAR POWERLINES IS
DANGEROUS. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW
THE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the S9v 31' Mk II multiband vertical antenna,
hereinafter referred to as the S9v. We believe the S9v to be the lightest, most
efficient and safest full-size vertical antenna available and we sincerely hope that
you enjoy your new S9v.
The S9v is a tapered, ultra-lightweight 31' fiberglass vertical antenna designed
for fixed and portable Amateur Radio use from 40 through 6 meters. Friction-
locking sections and high-tech polymer tube rings allow the antenna to be quickly
and safely deployed in practically any environment without tools.
Please read this guide in its entirety FIRST before installing your S9v. The S9v
is extremely easy to install and deploy, but reading through this guide first will
make it a painless and enjoyable experience.
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED...
The S9v is shipped assembled with all the components and hardware you need
to install the antenna. You will need to furnish coax cable, an antenna tuner, a
balun/unun, a pipe or mast for the ground or elevated mount, some radials, and
weatherproofing material.
Coax Cable
For top performance, the S9v should be fed with a quality, low-loss 50-ohm
coaxial feed line such as RG-213 or LMR400. RG-8x is perfectly adequate for
short runs of 50 feet or less.
