  • Page 16: Assembly

    Assembly TTACH OUNTERPOISE Do not lift the Model 3303 by the counterpoise. The counterpoise attaches on the top of the Model 3303 Rod Antenna base with the rod element passing through the opening in the counterpoise. Mounting the counterpoise between the housing and the rod antenna prevents the body of the antenna from intruding into the field being measured.
