Step 2: Unfold the antenna’s rear section

Step 3: Unfold the antenna’s front section

Unfold the UHF elements on the front
section until they lock into place as pictured
here. Make sure the elements are flat and
parallel to each other when you’re finished.

Step 6: Install the transformer and your coaxial

cable (not included)

Attach the transformer to your coaxial cable (not
included).

Find the 10/32” hex nuts and washers in the hardware
bag. Use them to attach the transformer to the bottom
of the antenna at the UHF element studs on the front
section.

Make sure to place the leads of the matching
transformer between the two washers on each post as
shown here.

Finally, tighten the hex nuts to secure the leads.

Step 4: Attach the front section to the rear section

Attach the antenna’s front section to the rear
section by sliding the tapered end of the front
section into the end of the rear section. The
threaded studs on both sections of the antenna
should be facing down

Align the holes and attach the included VHF
element to the top of the boom. Then secure
with provided bolt and nut.

Align the 2 phasing lines from the front
section of the antenna onto the threaded studs
on the rear section and secure with 10/32” hex
nuts.

Step 5: Attach the mast clamp U-bolt

Insert the U-bolt into the mast clamp on the
antenna and loosely thread the 1/4” hex nuts
onto the U-bolt.

Do not tighten the hex nuts yet!

Step 7: Insert the end caps

Insert the plastic end caps in the ends of the booms. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap
them into the antenna booms to secure them.

Step 8: Attach the mounting pipe to the foot

Find the end of the mounting pipe with holes on
the sides for screws. Insert this end into the middle
of the foot as shown here.

Then insert the 2 1/2” screw through the foot and
pipe as shown. Screw the 1/4” hex nut onto the
end of the screw to hold the pipe and foot together.

Don’t tighten the nut completely yet!

Find the square holes on either side of the bottom
of the pipe. Raise the pipe slightly and insert a
5/8” bolt through these holes and out the side of
the foot. Install the nuts on the outside of the foot
on the 5/8” bolts to hold the pipe in place. Don’t

tighten the nuts completely yet!

Step 9: Mount the foot and pipe

Secure the foot to its permanent location. Adjust the end of the pipe so that it’s
perpendicular to the ground. Tighten the hex nuts to hold the pipe in place.

Step 10: Attach the antenna to the mast

IMPORTANT: Before you attach the antenna to your mast, visit RCAAntennas.net to
see the locations of your local broadcast towers. This information is crucial in pointing your
antenna correctly.

Loosen the nuts on the mounting
clamp U-bolt.

Slide the U-bolt over the mast. Point
the small end of the antenna toward
your local broadcast towers. Tighten
the mast clamp and nuts securely.
