    That is the same one they send with the antenna and when I spoke with Tom from HyGain he said that is the setting for 10m and since he can not legally sell that antenna for 11m he could not tell me how to set it just that It will tune to the band

    Thank you I have another question when you installed yours did you run a ground wire to it and if so where did you attach it to I had an a99 previous to this and I grounded between one of the clamps and the mast can not do that with this one as the clamps don't contact the antenna element

    Hello Pollock, I have one, and after getting it from DX Eng., I went to CB Tricks, and printed out a manual for the original. Another owner said to put nylon rope inside the elements to bleed off static, but I always thought that was to strengthen the elements. I thought static electricity ran on the surface of an object, and when did nylon conduct static better than aluminum? I would not do it anyway, too much extra work, weight, etc. Hope you get it up , and set like you want it. If the info I posted is of no use to you, please disregard it. Take care , 3x7 in S.C. said that.

    thats a great antenna. once ya get it set im sure you,ll enjoy it. just dont rush it .it will take ya
    longer than it did with the a99. so start early and enjoy the day. 22.5- 23 feet should get ya there
