MODEL V3R

Collinear Gain Vertical for 216-225 MHz

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

General Description

The new Hy-Gain V3R VHF antenna is a

collinear 5/8-wave omnidirectional vertical

antenna for the 216-225 MHz frequency range.

The V3R features two sets of 1/4-wave radials

which properly decouple the lower 5/8-wave

radiator from the mast. It also features a 500 watt

enclosed coil that matches the antenna to a

nominal 50 ohms.

The feedpoint is a female UHF connector that is

protected from the weather within the lower

radiator. The V3R also features a mast-to-mast

racket that will acce

t u

to a 2 inch O.D. mast.

Settings are supplied so that the antenna can be

set to an

fre

uenc

between 215 and 230 MHz.

Select four of the radial clamps and associated

hardware and loosely assemble them as shown in

Figure 1.

Repeat the previous step for the remaining four

radial clam

Tighten the outer eight (8) screws of each

assembly just enough to hold the radial tubes in

place. These screws will be securely tightened in

a later step.

Set both assembled clamps upside down on a flat

surface.

Slip both radial assemblies over the top of the

48" tube and position as shown in Figure 4 and

Detail A. The slotted end of the 48" tube is the

top. Determine the "B" dimension from Table 1.

For example, at 221 MHz, B= 16 1/2" (419 mm).

NOTE: The tuning charts in this manual are

accurate. However, due to variation in

installations some minor adjustments may be

required to resonate the antenna on the desired

frequency.

Select the 5/8" caplug (Item No. 17) and slip it

over the end of the 5/8" tube.

NOTE: Dimension "A" is from the top of the

coil form to the tip of the element. Dimension

"B" is from the bottom of the coil form to the

top of the radial clamps.

Select the No. 10 tube clamp and slip it over the

top end of the 1" x 48" tube. Position it as shown

in Figure 3 and tighten it just enough to prevent

it from slidin

down the tube.

INSTALLATION

Screw the coax connector onto the V3R coil

connector.

Push the coax cable into the top of the 1" x 48"

tube until the matching coil rests on the one inch

tube. Ti

There are two ways to attach your coax to the

V3R antenna. The first method involves

attaching a short length of coax to the antenna

before attaching the antenna to the supporting

mast.

The antenna can now be mounted on a mast (2"

O.D. max.). For adequate lightning protection,

the antenna supporting structure must be well

rounded.

The remaining length of coax can then be

attached and routed to the radio. The short length

of coax must be at least 6 feet long, so the

connection between coax lengths can be made

below the mast-to-mast bracket.

The second method involves attaching the

complete length of coax to the antenna before

attaching the antenna to the supporting mast. In

this method, the antenna and entire coax length

must be carried u

the tower or mast.

Choose one of the suggested methods of

attaching the coax to the V3R.

Insert one end of the coax into the bottom of the

1" x 48" tube. Push the coax through until the

connector emerges from the top of the tube.

WARNING

Installation of this product near power

lines is dangerous. For your safety,

follow the installation directions.

Several antennas may be mounted on the same

mast. Your V3R should be mounted above the

other antenna for best performance. When side

mounting the V3R on a tower, it should be kept

at least 20 inches away from the tower. The ideal

distance to acheive 'a near omni-directional

radiation pattern is approximately 27 inches from

the nearest tower leg or face.
