FEATURES:

The 137CP14HD is a mid-sized, performance circular polarized antenna with a remarkably clean pattern. The pattern is
important in order to match the antenna's noise temperature with modern low noise preamps. This antenna is ideal for
satellite communications. The CNC machined driven element module is O-ring sealed and weather tight for low mainte-
nance and long-term peak performance. Internal connected are encapsulated in a space-age silicone gel that seals out
moisture and improves power handling. The 3/16" 6061-T6 rod elements are centered to minimize interaction and main-
tain good ellipticity. Insulators are UV stabilized and locked in place with stainless keepers. Rugged construction, uncom-
promising performance: that's the M

  • Page 4 137CP14HD ASSEMBLY MANUAL TOOL REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY: Screwdriver, 11/32 nut driver or wrench, 7/16” and 1/2” end wrenches, pliers, measuring tape. 1. Start by laying out the boom sections, noting hole positions and matching to the DIMENSION SHEET. 2. If you are also using the M H-frame Kit, open that kit and find one of the 'T' brace clamps shown at right.
