2.15 Тһе dipole configurations which give best
results at maximum range are shown in Fig.11. The
setting up procedure for these configurations is as
follows:-
2.15.1 Establish the required length of each
dipole element from the table on the case of
the RT320/1.
2.15.2 Unwind the required lengths of antenna
wire from each bobbin and tie off with a
double loop or clove hitch so that the coloured
length marked is just free of the knot.
2.15.5 Erect the horizontal dipole as shown in
Fig.11 (the side of а house or wall could be
used instead of a tree), using a suitable
weight, such as a jack knife, on the throwing
cord to get the wire or cord through the
branches of the tree. Tie off the cord in the
same way as the antenna wire.
2.15.4 When only a 5.4m mast is available to
Support the antenna, a centre supported dipole
can be used. This dipole is erected as shown
in Fig.11 and the dipole centre junction is
secured to the top of the mast with a length of
cord. The bobbins of the wire antennas are
Supported by securing the throwing cords to the
Spare stakes included in the mast kit.
2.15.5 Remove the coaxial link between the
RT320/1 INT TUNER and T/R sockets and connect
the latter to the dipole centre junction by
means of the antenna feeder cable. Ensure that
no strain is applied to the terminals and
