Instruction sheet
The Rapid Deployment VHF Multiband Dipole Antenna is a tuned antenna
with frequency labels to indicate lengths for each band of operation. When
tuned to a band, the antenna covers the full 6.4MHz band spread, with VSWR
3:1 or better.
For operation, each side of the antenna is
unwound to the tuned length for the band
required. The antenna wires are placed in
notches in the winding handle, with the label
visible on the antenna side of the winder, and
the cross-wire joiner placed behind the notch
so that the wire will not pull through.
To ensure correct frequency tuning, the
remaining (excess) wire should remain neatly
bundled on the winding handle. A Velcro strip
is provided for this purpose.

- Page 2 For operation on the lowest frequency band, the antenna should be completely unwound. Two throwing cords are provided on a separate winder, and attach to the antenna winders through loops in the handles. These cords can be used to elevate the antenna. Ideally, the coaxial feeder cable should come away from the antenna at a right angle to the radiating wires.
- Page 3 Vertical Dipole Operation as a vertical dipole will generally provide best performance. Gain will typically be 3 to 5 dBi, in an omnidirectional pattern. The radiation will be vertically polarised, giving optimum performance when communicating with vertical antennas such as used with vehicle mobiles, manpacks, and handheld radios.
