Connecting the Dipole Antenna
You have two choices of antenna with
the dipole option: the rigid dipole,
which has the two extendable arms,
or the flexible dipole, which has the
“floppy” wires with securing rings at
the ends. Rigid dipole pieces screw
onto the connectors at the top and
bottom of the Antenna Module. Flex-
ible dipole wires are secured using
Hex Kep nuts and a fiber washer as
indicated on page 9.
If you don’t have enough room to fully
extend the ground arm of a rigid
dipole, you can use half of a rigid di-
pole for the active side and half of a
flexible dipole for the ground side.
Although the dipole works best when
the wires are fully extended straight,
satisfactory operation can still be ob-
tained when you slightly bend the
ground wire (not the active one!) to fit
around a ceiling or floor corner.
Connect the coaxial cable (either the
cable provided in the kit or your own)
to the Antenna Module’s BNC connec-
tor. Connect the other end to the
LT-800 transmitter or the LR-100
Receiver / Power Amplifier, depending
on which device you are using.
If you supply your own cable, you
MUST use 50 Ohm coaxial cable and
connectors. Do not use cable made
for cable TV installations; it is rated
at 75 Ohms and will not work in this
application.
Rigid dipole sections screw onto the opposite sides of the
antenna module, and are then fully extended.
Using half of a flexible dipole for grounding a rigid dipole. This
is a good choice when you don’t have room to fully extend the
ground side of the dipole.
