SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

- This antenna is an electrical conductor contact with power lines can result in

death, or serious injuries.

- Do not install this antenna where there is any possibility of contact

with power cables or service drop to buildings.

- The antenna supporting mast and/or tower should not be close to any

power lines during installation or removal in the event the system

should accidentally fall.

- Follow the guidelines for antenna installation recommended by the

U.S. consumer product safety commission.

- Keep this antenna out of reach of adults, children, and animals. Any contact

with this antenna while transmitting will cause severe RF burns, and

voltages that KILL. The ends of the elements can cause eye injuries, serious

RF burns or both.

- Keep the antenna away from you to prevent exposure to high levels of

electromagnetic field radiation. Especially if you are using more than 20

Watts of RF power.

- Never operate this antenna near RF sensitive medical devices such as

pacemakers.

- Be careful while climbing and carrying the antenna. It is heavy enough to

cause you to lose your balance if it is handled too casually.

Assembly Instructions

1- Separate the elements according to length.

2- Screw a 1/4-20 Nut onto each of the elements. Once the antenna is

assembled and tuned these nuts will lock the elements in place.

Refer To Figure 1 For The Following Assembly Procedures

3- Screw the Reflector Elements (Items A) into their designated holes

labeled "Hole A" on Figure 1.

3- Screw the Driven Elements (Items B) into their designated holes

labeled "Hole B" on Figures 1 and 2.

5-3- Screw the Director Elements (Items C) into their designated holes labeled "Hole C" on Figure 1.

NOTE All elements should be screwed completely into the chassis and then backed out a 1/4 turn.

6- Lock the elements in place by tightening the 1/4-20 Nut against the chassis.

7- Mount the U-bolt assembly in the appropriate mounting holes as shown in Figure 1. Keep in mind the

polarization of the antenna (See Fig. 1).

8- The assembly is now completed and the antenna can be mounted on a mast to be tested for SWR

before transmitting.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The MFJ-1763 can be mounted on any 1" to 1 ½" diameter mast. The mast may be a conductive (metal)

or a non-conductive (fiberglass) material.

WARNING: DO NOT MOUNT ANTENNA NEAR POWER LINES.

Death or serious injury can result!

For optimum performance the antenna should be mounted as high as possible. However, if the mast

itself is located on a high elevation, such as a hill or mountain, the need for a tall mast will not be as

critical.

The MFJ-1763 may be mounted horizontally or vertically. The antenna should be mounted horizontally

for SSB and vertically for FM operation.

NOTE: The antenna can be center or end mounted.

Once you have mounted the antenna, you are ready to hook up the coax. The coax connector is a SO-

239, so the connection should be fast and easy.

TUNING INSTRUCTIONS

Your MFJ-1763 has been preset for low SWR throughout the 2 meter band. However, the location of

the antenna might have a slight effect on its tuning. In this case it is necessary to tune the antenna.

Tuning the antenna requires an SWR analyzer such as the MFJ-208/MFJ-259 or a transceiver and

SWR/Wattmeter. This can be done in two different methods. The first method is more effective and

usually guarantees the lowest SWR.

Method 1- Trimmer Capacitor: Adjust the trimmer capacitor a little at a time until

it yields a minimum SWR. This adjustment is very coarse

(See Fig. 1 for location of Trimmer location).

NOTE: Do not use method 2 unless method 1 failed

Method 2- Elements Length: Adjust the length of the elements by screwing them

in and out until minimum SWR is reached. If the SWR is not

satisfactory then go back to Method 1 for adjustment.
