Anyone have the dimensions for the 4 top radials for the Hy-Gain 18AVT/WB-S.
I have downloaded the manual but no specs are on it. I assume the
measurements are critical.

Denis -

This specific antennas has been discontinued by MFJ / Hy-Gain. An Adobe
Acrobat version of this manual is available from the Hy-Gain web site.

Although the original manual did not have the length of the 4 radials below
the 80-meter resonator, I did see that on Page 6 of the Adobe Acrobat
document -- that someone had handwritten in this data:

1/8" solid rod -- 11 1/4 inches length.

Possibly an actual 18AVT owner could confirm this handwritten measurement.

Thanks lads for the help. I will cut abt 35 cm and cut back. Hopefully with
my MFJ-269, I should be able to sort it out.
Agn many thanks

PS. Those of you that have used it - how did it perform say on 40 & 80M?????



Well, it works great on 40 meters, and not very well on 80 meters.
