CAUTION: While we strive to remove all burrs from all machined parts, there is always the possibility of

sharp edges. We strongly suggest checking the edges and use a fine file, or 400 grit

sandpaper, to remove any burrs that may have been left.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1) Attach loops to the boom with 4-40 x 1 ¼” screws and lock nuts in proper sequence.

Loops go on the side of the boom marked with an "X". Attach the contents of each bag of

elements before opening the next bag. This will prevent any mix-up of elements on the boom.

When tightening the nuts on the parasitic elements, be careful not to torque them too tightly.

Snug down the nuts, align the elements and use a screwdriver for the final tightening. A ¼

inch nut driver is almost mandatory for this job! Attach the driven element with the 5/16”nut

provided. If only a single antenna is being built, it doesn't matter which way the loop is

oriented. If antennas are to be stacked, see "Instructions for Stacking Loop Yagis".

2) Attach the boom to mast angle bracket (angle piece) behind the second reflector R2.

The bracket can be installed for either horizontal or vertical polarization. Install U-bolt and

saddle on the bracket.

3) Install the cable assembly through the hole in the driven element mounting bolt. Make

sure the connector bracket is correctly oriented, the bend should be forward for center mount

antennas and rear facing for rear mount antennas. Solder the outer shield to the driven loop

first making sure there is no shield sticking above the large hole in the driven loop. After the

shield is soldered, pass the center conductor through the small hole in the driven loop and

bend the center conductor over and solder (See Assembly Tips below).

We have created a You Tube video, the link of which can be found on our website,

documenting the following steps:

At this point the connector assembly is facing down, connect a piece of coax and your

SWR bridge or VNA. Pull down on the connector (which will flatten the loop) until you reach

the lowest SWR. If it’s less than 1.5:1 you can stop and make sure the loop doesn’t try to pop

back up, sometimes you have to squeeze the loop with your fingers to make sure it stays in

the shape that gave the best SWR. If you want to further lower the SWR, from the rear of the

antenna, place both your thumbs on the driven loop on either side and gently push it forward

towards D1, you only need to tilt it maybe 3/16” to ¼” and that should drop the SWR to 1.1:1

or less.

Now, GENTLY bend the UT-141 coax after it exits the boom towards the front or rear,

depending on the mounting. You do not want to bend it so tightly that it crushes where it

extends through the bolt. The connector bracket should line up with either D1 or D2 (or the

hole with the circle around it on rear mount antennas), remove that nut and place the

connector bracket on the screw and re-attach the nut. If the bracket doesn’t line up,

sometimes you have to flip the bracket. Loosen the ¾” nut by holding the connector body with

a 9/16” open end wrench. Remove the connector bracket and flip it.

4) Attach the feedline and tape it to the mast. Seal all connections with silicone RTV or

equivalent.

5) Attach the two black end caps and this will complete the assembly of your

DSE3318LYRMK.

6) The SWR should be 1.5:1 or better. Additional tweaking can be accomplished by

adjusting the distance between the driven element and R1, or by adjusting the shape of the

driven element.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, APPLY ANY TYPE OF SEALANT OR COATING TO THE

DRIVEN ELEMENT, T-ARMS OR CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY, OTHER THAN KRYLON®

CLEAR COAT. ANY OTHER COATING WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SWR AND VOID YOUR

WARRANTY.

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

The boom diameter is 1 inch, and it is drilled for 4-40 hardware (no. 33 drill bit). The driven

element hole is enlarged to 5/16 inch. All elements are 0.032-inch-thick and 0.375 inch wide.

Note that the element spacing from D7 on is 5.115 inches. The loops and driven element are

preformed to their proper shape. The connector/coax assembly is soldered to the driven element

as shown below. Form the coax cable using your thumb as a guide to bend the coax and bracket

so that the bracket mounting hole is aligned at the R1 drilled hole in the boom. (See drawing

below.) Be careful with the .141" coax. It can be crimped if not supported by your thumb! Attach

the coax bracket with the hardware from R1. For the best match, the driven element should be

approximately 4 inches high: this makes it wider than it is tall. This shape can be adjusted for best

match. The space between the loop ends should be 3/8" (9.5mm). This spacing will prevent water

from "beading up" there during wet weather. The design of this antenna is based on work done

by G3JVL.

Directive Systems Warranty Policy

All Directive Systems antennas are built with the finest materials available. We take great pride

in building a quality product that will give years of good service and performance. If there is a defect

in materials or workmanship within 90 days of purchase, Directive Systems will repair or replace

the defective part, free of charge, to the original purchaser. DO NOT RETURN ANYTHING

WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION FROM DIRECTIVE SYSTEMS. Please contact us either by

phone or email describing the problem and we will work to resolve it.

If, after examining a new antenna you received, you are not satisfied, contact us immediately

for return authorization and refund. ANY ANTENNA THAT HAS BEEN MODIFIED WILL BE

SUBJECT TO A RESTOCKING CHARGE. IF AN ANTENNA IS SO MODIFIED AS TO MAKE IT

UNUSABLE, DIRECTIVE SYSTEMS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE

ANTENNA FOR RETURN.
