The MP1 series Super Antenna system is designed to
operate as a portable, base, manpack, or mobile antenna.
For a recommended high performance set up, please see the
Super Antenna Application Note:
"MP1 series Optimum Set Up"
Proximity of nearby objects to the antenna, or the type ground
below the antenna, may cause a change in the SWR
resonant point. This requires the SuperSlider to need a
slightly higher frequency setting mark on the FG1 Frequency
Guide SWR Ruler. Try several different settings of the SWR
Ruler above and below the desired frequency calibrated
setting until a good SWR is found. An SWR below 2:1 should
easily be possible to achieve on all frequencies in the
antenna's range, for most types of installations, even indoors.
If a low SWR can not be found, then the user should try a
different coaxial cable. If there is still a problem with SWR,
please see the drawing below for recommended checks of
the antenna system resistance with an ohm meter.
