spring with sandpaper. Do not use steel wool. Fibers from the steel wool can
contaminate the main coil. One shorted turn on the main coil can cause it to no
longer function! Replacement springs are always available here at High Sierra.
5. Make certain that the large washer supplied with the antenna is tightly secured
between the top cap of the weathershield and the whip or quick disconnect.
Otherwise, water will leak into the antenna and cause damage.
6. If you are using a quick disconnect, clean it frequently.
7. Frequently check all connections for corrosion. Corrosion will change the SWR and
lower the performance of the antenna system. Frequently check for loose
connections.
8. We get calls from customers because they hear a click in the receiver or the SWR
changes rapidly. Both of those are caused by loose connections and not something
inside the antenna. There are no connections inside the antenna’s tube.
In order for the warranty to be honored, the above items must be done. It just makes
good sense to maintain the antenna system.
