Tuning the TRUCKER !iingle Antenna
1. For best performance and easiest tuning, use 18' length of RG-58 A/U.
RG-8 A/U or AG - BX coax. Do not coil excess length as th is creates an RF
Choke . Rather. "stuff' it randomly under the carpet behind the dash or
other less visible location .
2. Read SWR on channels 1. 20. and 40.
3. If SWA is higher on channel 1 than on 20 or 40, loosen set screw and pull
antenna whip up 1/4", and re-tighten the set screws . Read the SWR
aga in.
4. If SWR is still higher on channel 1, repeat step 3 above until lowest SWR
reading is obtained on channel 20.
5. If l owest SWR obtained is below 1. 5:1 on channel 20, tighten both set
screws: CAUTION : Do not over ti ghten the mast set screws.
6. If SWR is lower on channel 1 than on 20 and 40, loosen set screws and
remove antenna whip from mast. Cut 1/2" from the bottom and re-insert
into mast.Tighten set screws and read SWR aga in.
7. If SWR is still lower on channel 1, repeat step 6 unti l lowest SWR
reading is obta i ned on channel 20 .
8. If lowest SWR obtained Is be l ow 1.5:1 on channe l 20 , tighten both set
screws. CAUTION : Do not over tighten the ma st
s et screws . If you prefer the lowest SWR to be on any other channel or
frequency, simply tune and adjust for preferred channel or frequency.
9. After tuning is completed, securely tighten tapered hex nut at antenna
mount. CAUTION : Do not over tighten hex nut.
10 Tuning and installation of antenna is now complete . You may use the
antenna chart below, for the WILSON 2000, as an approximate guide for
different channels. adjusting the
antenna whip for the length desired .
