Product Information Bulletin included with your
shipment.
Testing with the Model 5503 should not be

Antenna Elements
Two conductor cables on each of the elements extend downward to connect the
elements to the load box and balun box. The conductive cables extend and
retract out of the elements depending on the distance to the connection point on
the load box and balun box. For more information, see Cables on page 17.
Four masts extend upward to allow the carriers to slide up and down. The masts,
in conjunction with the carriers and phenolic pins (pegs), allow vertical
adjustment to 1.5 m, 2 m, and 2.5 m.
