FEATURES:
The 222XP30 is the dual polarized version of the famed 222-5WL 15 element Yagi. It is our latest design using
computer techniques to allow maximum gain and patterns in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The vertical elements
have been shifted 1/4 wave length in front of the horizontal set to allow circular polarization if needed. This means four
possible polarization modes with one antenna! Two antennas stacked are a dynamite DX package for FM and SSB and 4
or more are perfect for long haul tropo DXing or moonbounce. The 222XP30 allows you to experience the radio
spectrum's best tropo frequency without bustin' your mast or your budget!
Structurally the 222XP30 is sturdy and clean. Elements are 3/16" 6061-T6 aluminum rod mounted through the
boom on UV stabilized "button" insulators. The boom is a full 1-1/2 inch diameter in the middle tapering through two 1-1/4
inch sections to stiff 1 and 3/4 inch tips. The main 'N' connectors are O-ring sealed to the CNC machined block and 4:1
balun connectors feature triple seals. The internal module connections are sealed in a space-age silicone gel.

Start by laying out the boom sections using the DIMENSION sheet as a guide. Use the appropriate 8-32 screws and locknuts as shown to join the sections. To make the assembly easier, support the completed boom about waist high on bucks, tables, etc.

Since the feed line represents significant weight it is best to have it, or a temporary equivalent, attached and fastened along the boom with cable ties before final mounting the plate.

Adjust threads until just one or two show inside turnbuckle body. With two friends, lift up the two ends of the boom until the middle is 4” to 6” LOWER than the ends. Attach one end of the Dacron cord to the rear U clip by taking two wraps through the “U”...
