INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the S9v 18' Mk II multiband vertical antenna,
hereinafter referred to as the S9v. We believe the S9v to be the lightest, most
efficient and safest full-size vertical antenna available and we sincerely hope that
you enjoy your new S9v.
The S9v is a tapered, ultra-lightweight 18' fiberglass vertical antenna designed
for fixed and portable Amateur Radio use from 20 through 6 meters. Friction
locking sections and high-tech polymer tube rings allow the antenna to be quickly
and safely deployed in practically any environment without tools.
Please read this guide in its entirety FIRST before installing your S9v. The S9v
is extremely easy to install and deploy, but reading through this guide first will
make it a painless and enjoyable experience.
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED...
The S9v is shipped pre-assembled with all the components and hardware you
need to install the antenna. You will need to furnish coax cable, an antenna
tuner, a balun/unun, a small pipe or mast for the ground or roof mount, some
radials, and weatherproofing material.
Coax Cable
For top performance, the S9v must be fed with a quality, low-loss 50-ohm coaxial
feed line such as RG-213 or LMR400.
