_____________________________________________________________________________
WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THIS
PRODUCT NEAR POWERLINES IS
DANGEROUS. FOR YOUR SAFETY,
FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
DIRECTIONS.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the S9v. The S9v is a tapered, ultra-lightweight 31'
vertical antenna designed for portable and fixed Amateur Radio use from 40
through 6 meters. We believe the S9v to be the lightest, most efficient and
safest full-size vertical antenna available. Whether you're at home or in the field,
we sincerely hope that you enjoy your S9v.
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 assembled with all the components and hardware you need
to install the antenna. You will need to furnish a Phillips head screwdriver, coax
cable, an antenna tuner, a balun/unun, a pipe or mast for the ground or roof
mount, some radials, and weatherproofing material.
Coax Cable
For top performance, the S9v should be fed with a quality, low-loss 50-ohm
coaxial feed line such as RG-213 or LMR400. RG-8x is perfectly adequate for
short runs of 50 feet or less.
