PARTS LIST

Note: All hardware is Stainless Steel unless otherwise noted.

Anti-Seize Compound - Apply a small amount of the supplied Anti-Seize Compound to the aluminum joints and

to the threads of the U-Bolts to prevent galling.

BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR NEW ANTENNA, PLEASE BE SURE

TO READ THE ENCLOSED WARNING PAMPHLET.

CAUTION: While we strive to remove all burrs from all machined parts, there is always the possibility of

sharp edges. We strongly suggest checking the edges and use a fine file, or 400 grit

sandpaper, to remove any burrs that may have been left.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1) Attach loops to the boom with 4-40 screws and lock nuts in proper sequence. Loops go

on the side of the boom marked with an "X". If the boom is spliced it will be between D11 and

D12 and is held together by the mounting screws for these elements. Attach the contents of

each bag of elements before opening the next bag. This will prevent any mix-up of elements

on the boom. R2 (Reflector 2 -3/8" wide) is always the first element to be installed with R1

(Reflector 1 -1/4" wide) always next to the driven element. The connector bracket mounts in

the hole with the circle –No loops mount in this hole! When tightening the nuts on the

parasitic elements, be careful not to torque them too tightly. Snug down the nuts, align the

elements and use a screwdriver for the final tightening. A 1/4-inch nut driver is almost

mandatory for this job! Attach the driven element with the 5/16 nut provided. If only a single

antenna is being built, it doesn't matter which way the loop is oriented. If antennas are to be

stacked, see "Instructions for Stacking Loop Yagis".

2) Attach the boom to mast angle bracket (angle piece) behind the second reflector R2.

The bracket can be installed for either horizontal or vertical polarization. Install U-bolt and

saddle on the bracket.

3) Install the cable assembly through the hole in the driven element mounting bolt. Make

sure the connector bracket is correctly oriented, the bend should be forward for center mount

antennas and rear facing for rear mount antennas. Solder the outer shield to the driven loop

first making sure there is no shield sticking above the large hole in the driven loop. After the

shield is soldered, pass the center conductor through the small hole in the driven loop and

bend the center conductor over and solder (See Assembly Tips below).

We have created a You Tube video, the link of which can be found on our website,

documenting the following steps:

At this point the connector assembly is facing down, connect a piece of coax and your

SWR bridge or VNA. Pull down on the connector (which will flatten the loop) until you reach

the lowest SWR. If it’s less than 1.5:1 you can stop and make sure the loop doesn’t try to pop

back up, sometimes you have to squeeze the loop with your fingers to make sure it stays in

the shape that gave the best SWR. If you want to further lower the SWR, from the rear of the

antenna, place both your thumbs on the driven loop on either side and gently push it forward

towards D1, you only need to tilt it maybe 3/16” to ¼” and that should drop the SWR to 1.1:1

or less.

Now, GENTLY bend the UT-141 coax after it exits the boom towards the front or rear,

depending on the mounting. You do not want to bend it so tightly that it crushes where it

extends through the bolt. The connector bracket should line up with either D1 or D2 (or the

hole with the circle around it on rear mount antennas), remove that nut and place the

connector bracket on the screw and re-attach the nut. If the bracket doesn’t line up,

sometimes you have to flip the bracket. Loosen the ¾” nut by holding the connector body with

a 9/16” open end wrench. Remove the connector bracket and flip it.

4) Attach the feedline and tape it to the mast. Seal all connections with silicone RTV or

equivalent.

5) Attach the two black end caps and this will complete the assembly of your

DSE2324LYRMK.

6) The SWR should be 1.5:1 or better. Additional tweaking can be accomplished by

adjusting the distance between the driven element and R1, or by adjusting the shape of the

driven element.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, APPLY ANY TYPE OF SEALANT OR COATING TO THE

DRIVEN ELEMENT, T-ARMS OR CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY, OTHER THAN KRYLON®

CLEAR COAT. ANY OTHER COATING WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SWR AND VOID YOUR

WARRANTY.

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

The boom diameter is 1 inch, and it is drilled for 4-40 hardware (no. 33 drill bit). The driven

element hole is enlarged to 5/16 inch. All elements are 0.032 inch thick. R1 and D1-D4 are

0.250-inch-wide; the rest are 0.375 inch wide. Note that the element spacing from D7 on is

P a g e | 4

DSE2324LYRMK Rev 1/21

3.56 inches. The feed coaxial cable (0.141-inch semi rigid) goes through the mounting bolt

and is soldered to the open ends of the element. For best match, the driven element should be

approximately 2.75 inches high; this makes it wider than it is tall. This shape can be adjusted

for best match. This antenna has been optimized for the short boom length from the original

G3JVL design.
