Standard Coil Kit Assembly; Full Size Coil Kit Assembly - Pacific Antenna PAC-12 Manual

This completes the assembly of the feed point insulator. Check for continuity using an
ohmmeter between the center and shell of the BNC and the end caps of the antenna. Resistance
readings should be no more than one or two ohms including the meter lead resistance. Also
verify that there is no short by checking resistance between the end caps or across the BNC.
Resistance should read very large or infinite here.
Note that the feed point insulator is symmetric. This feature allows the antenna to be used as a
dipole as well as a vertical. When used as a dipole, the bolt in the center serves as the antenna
support point for attaching to a mast. When using the antenna as a vertical, make sure to install
the feed point insulator with the center conductor of the BNC connected to the antenna and the
shell to the radials.

Note: If assembling the multi-band coil version, skip ahead to that section.
Mount the BNC in the plate and secure using its nut. The BNC
connectors may be supplied with a red rubber gasket that should
be removed before installation
Install the stainless wing nut screw onto the end of the 1/4-20
bolt in the center. It is used to secure the ring terminals for
connection of the radials.
Once the BNC is securely installed, use the sections of green
and red wire to connect from the BNC to the crimp terminals.
The red wire goes the center terminal of the BNC. The red wire
will indicate the antenna end of the feed point.
Measure the necessary wire and crimp and or solder the
terminals to the wire. Next, remove each screw and place it
through the ring terminal and reattach to the end cap.
