How to Use:
Installation Requirements:
Due to its omnidirectional nature, when installing the antenna, only choose open and spacious areas without considering its direction. Non metallic ropes must be used at both ends of the antenna, and metal wire ropes cannot be used, otherwise it will affect the performance of the antenna. Within the coverage range of the antenna, obstacles (including wall, trees, leaves, and non metallic materials) must be at least 3 meters away. If encountering metal objects (such as wires, window, railings, etc.), they must be at least 5 meters away to achieve the desired state. It is best to install at a high place, and the antenna can be pulled horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Notice:
The end fed antenna generally does not require a ground network for single sideband (SSB). However, for data connections like FT8 and FT4 that may cause interference, an external ground network can be used. A 1 to 2 meter single wire connected to the matching unit can be used as a naturally hanging ground wire. Installing a ground network will shift the resonance point, which can be corrected by adjusting the length of the oscillator using an antenna analyzer. Shortening the length of the ground network can reduce this issue and achieve optimal performance.
