Model No: 406-6SX

FEATURES:

The 406-6SX a low cost, medium performance antenna and a great choice for a rugged hand held operation

without compromising quality. A comfortable rear mount handle and all stainless hardware, give you the confidence of

quality construction you have come to expect from M2. Built with size and portability in mind, this antenna is great for

hand held tracking applications. The antenna breaks down to no more than 36” long, making it a natural for portable oper-

ations.

SPECIFICATIONS:

*Subtract 2.14 from dBi for dBd

Tools handy for assembly process: Phillips head screwdriver, 5/16”,11/32” spin-tight or socket, 7/16”

end wrenches / sockets, measuring tape.

1. This antenna uses a one-piece boom that will be rear mounted.

2. Lay out the elements by length and position as shown on the DIMENSION sheet. Start with the

reflector (longest) element and push on a black button insulator to about 1/2” from the center of the

element. Push the reflector element through the element hole towards the rear of the boom. (Refer

to the DIMENSION sheet for proper placement) Install the second button insulator on the other

side of the element, pushing it up into boom. DO NOT BOTHER WITH ACCURATELY

CENTERING the element at this time and DO NOT INSTALL the stainless steel internal locking

keepers yet. This is easier to do after all of the elements are installed in the boom.

3. Install the DRIVEN ELEMENT in the same way as you did the reflector element. Then continue

with the installation of the DIRECTOR or DIRECTORS.

4. Now begin centering the elements. Use a tape measure to EQUALIZE the amount of each element

sticking out on each side of the boom. Once you have all of the elements centered, sight down the

element tips from the rear comparing each side. Look for any obvious discrepancies and correct if

found.

5. Install the stainless steel keepers to secure the elements.

NOTE: For portable or temporary use of the antenna, the

keepers may be left off. The button insulators, (normally a tight

fit) hold the elements quite securely.

To install, use thumb and forefinger to hold the keeper over the

end of the PUSH TUBE. Make sure that the internal fingers of

the keeper are dished into the push tube. HOLD THE

ELEMENT FIRMLY TO PREVENT IT FROM SLIDING OFF

CENTER and press the keeper onto the element end and

continue until the keeper is snug on the insulator button.

Locking pliers, lightly clamped up against the opposite button insulator, will help maintain center

reference. If you push the first keeper too far, remove the element from the boom, push the keeper

completely off the element, and start over. Install another keeper to the opposite side of the

element. Continue installing keepers until all elements are locked in place.

6. Next, assemble the Gamma Match assembly. Start by sliding a

#6 flat washer over the end of the Gamma Feed block stud.

7. Slide the Gamma Insulator over the Gamma Rod, leaving 1/8”

of the insulator exposed beyond the end of the Gamma Rod.

Slide this Gamma Rod and Insulator over the end of the

Gamma Feed block stud.

8. Now, slide a #6 lock washer over the Gamma Feed block stud

and finish the assembly with a 6-32 nut. *Note* The connector

stud can spin freely. Use a pair of needle nose pliers or a small

wrench to hold the flat surface when tightening.

9. Next, attached the Gamma Match assembly to the boom, using a single 8-32 x 1 1/4” screw. Make

sure to orient the Feed connector towards the rear of the antenna.

10. Now slide the Gamma Tube over the Gamma Insulator and refer to the DIMENSION sheet for

proper placement.

406-6SX ASSEMBLY MANUAL

11. Install the two halves of the Shorting Bar onto the Gamma Tube and the driven element below.

Refer to the DIMENSION sheet for proper location of the shorting bar. Tighten the shorting bar in

place using a single 8-32 x 7/8” screw and lock nut.

12. Now Slide the 3/8” x 3/8” Vinyl cap over the Gamma Tube until it is flush with the end of the

Gamma Tube.

13. Slide the foam padded rear mount handle into place.

14. For hand held operation

Route the feed line coax towards the rear of the antenna past the reflector element. Use the

supplied adapter for quick disconnect using a BNC connector. Secure the feed line coax to the

antenna boom with the supplied nylon ties. For the best performance try to match the polarity of

the source and tracking antennas. When fixed mounting is required with the antenna

vertically polarized, make sure to orient the gamma tube with the vinyl cap facing up.

To maintain good VSWR and antenna pattern: Keep metallic masts, cross booms and the feed line

coax out of the element plane.
