Recommended Settings
The table below shows setting for the major bands using the standard-length 66 inch whip. Because this antenna
is fully adjustable it can also be tuned for other frequencies outside the ham bands. Keep accurate notes as adding
additional antenna arms or longer whips will change the settings.

NOTES:
1) Set radial length at appropriate mark for the intended band.
2) Coil tap positions are counted from the top of the coil (the first turn on the coil is at the top).
3) The coils are marked with alternate blue/black markings for every 5
th
turn, making counting very quick.
4) The coil is not used for the 6 m band.
5) Usually only need to adjust whip lengths for 6m and 17m.
