3.4 SWR Tuning
After installation, it is essential to tune the antenna for optimal performance on your desired frequencies. Use an SWR meter to measure the Standing Wave Ratio. Adjust the length of the radiating elements as necessary to achieve an SWR of 1.5:1 or lower on the operating bands.
Refer to the specifications section for target VSWR values for each band.
4. Gweithredu'r Antena
Once installed and tuned, the Diamond HV5S antenna is ready for operation. Connect your transceiver to the antenna via the coaxial cable.
4.1 Bandiau Amlder
The HV5S supports the following amateur radio bands:
- 7 MHz (40m band)
- 21 MHz (15m band)
- 50 MHz (6m band)
- 144 MHz (2m band)
- 430 MHz (70cm band)
4.2 Trin Pŵer
Observe the maximum power handling capabilities to prevent damage to the antenna or transceiver:
- 120 W SSB (7/21/50 MHz)
- 200 W SSB (144/430 MHz)
Caution: Exceeding the maximum power rating can permanently damage the antenna.
