8. Cut the excess ground braid off so that
there aren't any stray wires.
9. Thread the other end of the coax through
the 1 1/2" PVC pipe with the reducer, starting
at the 1 1/2 inch end, and exiting at the 1"
end. The LNA board should fit snugly inside
of the PVC pipe. You can use a sock or rag to
temporarily stuff in the pipe to hold things in place while your
working. Make sure and give yourself enough wire to work with
on the exiting end.
10. Using the diagram on page 7 as a guide, solder the center
conductor of the RG-58U to the center conductor of the RG-62.
11. Solder one end of a 21" piece of buss wire to the center
conductor joint as well.
12. Solder the two outside shield wires on the connected
cables together.
13. Solder another piece of 21" wire to the outside shield wires
for the other half of your lower reflector dipole.
14. At this point the outer shield and the center conductor
should not be connected together in any way. Check this out
with an ohm meter if you need to; it shouldn't be less than 1
Meg ohms.
15. Use the 'X' connector for this step. Thread the unused end
of the RG-62 through the opposite opening of where you
mounted the 2 1/2" pipe piece, and then on through the pipe
piece.
16. Thread the two dipole wires through the two remaining
holes. Make sure the wires don't touch or cross over inside of
the 'X' connector.
17. On the free end of the RG-62, solder one 21" piece of wire
to the center conductor.
18. Solder the other 21" piece of wire to the outer shield wire of
