Hi, welcome to Matchmaster for the best. Today we are going to talk to you about the 05MM-WP71 & 72, TV wall plates.
The wall plates come pre-assembled, with fold out locking clips on the side of the plate pre-installed, an F Type or I E C pal T V connection and a neat and tidy plate cover.
The wall plates have been designed so you do not require any additional mounting accessories due to the use of the floating clips for securing to the wall sheet.
The W P seventy one and seventy two are part of a suite of wall plates all featuring the same fold out wall clip design, made available in multiple formats to meet your needs.
Slim line cable management plate with brush cover, slim line single and dual gang grid plates, standard profile fixed free to air and satellite T V options, and standard profile single, dual and four gang grid plates plus a combination dual gang grid with cable management.
Now, let’s take you through the installation of the plate, it’s a very simple one piece design, all you need to in the way of tools to set this up are: Phillips head screwdriver, pencil, wall plate level and a wall sheet cutting tool.
Okay let us get started.
The wall cutout diameter for the wall plates is one hundred and fifteen millimeters wide by fifty five millimeters high so we will need to use a suitable cutting tool to create an opening in the wall for the plates to be installed.
Once we have selected our installation location, we must first check the location using a stud finder, metal detector or electrical detector and make sure there are no obstructions behind before making any cuts.
Once confirmed, it is safe to cut in this location, we need to mark out on the wall the cutout.
You can use the supplied cutout template to trace around then ensure the horizontal trace lines are level.
Now we can go ahead and make our cut using our cutting tool, be careful not to force the tool too quickly through the wall, just in case there is anything further back in the wall, that you haven’t detected.
Now we take our wall plate, which is ready to install, and we pop the cover off so we can access the screw points.
Before fitting into the wall cutout, please ensure to connect your terminated cable and make sure it is securely tightened to the rear F type female connector.
Now place the wall plate in the cutout, gently pressing against the wall sheet to hold steady.
Now, while holding the unit in level and in location, take your Phillips head screwdriver, just give it a few winds anticlockwise first to unwind and prepare the locking clip, then wind it in the clockwise direction to seat the locking clip in position and secure the plate to the wall, continue this step on the other fastening screw and then check the plate is level before you lock into place.
Now place the cover plate over and clip securely into place.
And that is it, the W P seventy one or seventy two wall plate is now installed and secure leaving a neat and tidy finish.

Hi, I will take you through the setup of the SM04, tripod tin roof mount with telescoping stay bars. Here is what it looks like: fully installed.
The equipment needed to assemble and install this mount is a drill with five-sixteenths of an inch and three-eighths of an inch Tek driver bits, a level, roofing silicone, spanners, adjustable wrenches, or suitable sockets with a driver bit for your drill and of course the mount itself.
Please ensure appropriate personal protective equipment is used during your installation. This may include but is not limited to gloves, goggles, safety boots and a harness when working at heights.
The first step is to choose an appropriate roof installation location. This must be carefully inspected to ensure it is structurally sound and in good repair before installation. Please also ensure the roof location chosen is suitable for optimal signal and accepted by the customer before installation.
After choosing the installation location, install the clevis bracket by removing existing roof screws and applying roofing silicone to the penetration points. Penetrations should only be through the ridges of the roof sheeting. Seat the two cyclone washers and fasten down the clevis bracket using the two type seventeen, sixty-five-millimetre Tek screws.
Now seat the bottom of the mast into the clevis bracket and lock it into place using an M8 hex bolt with nut, two flat washers and a spring washer. Gently tighten, making sure not to overtighten and crush the mast.
Take the thicker end of the two stay bars, carefully bend the flattened end to a suitable angle to mount flush against the mast using a suitable tool like an adjustable wrench, and repeat for the other end to suit the roof pitch you are installing on.
While stabilizing the mast with one hand, lift one of the stay bars into place and attach it to the mast using an M8 hex bolt with a flat washer. Now lift the second stay bar into position and seat over the bolt end. Gently fasten it in place using a flat washer, spring washer, and M8 nut. Firmly tighten into place, ensuring not to overtighten and crush the mast tube.
Install the two stay bars on the roof surface. Make sure to install them at a point where the stay bars are not extended beyond their maximum install length of one thousand four hundred twenty-five millimetres, and the smaller angle between the braces is a minimum of 60 degrees or is not greater than 120 degrees.
Remove any existing roof screws, apply roofing silicone to the penetration points, seat the cyclone washer and then fasten down the stay bar using the type seventeen, sixty-five-millimetre tek screw. Repeat for the second stay bar.
Using your level, adjust the mast so it is plumb. With the mast held in this position, drill the self-tapping tek screws into the overlapped section of the two stay bars using the pre-drilled points as pilot holes. There are two fastening points on each stay bar.
Please note that the mount can have the stay bars installed at a ninety-degree angle if required. There is an additional pre-drilled bolt hole in the mast and an extra M8 bolt with washers and nut for this installation method. Here is how the mount looks when installed with the stay bars at ninety degrees.
The installation is complete, and the mast is ready to install and align your antenna, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Hi, I will take you through the setup of the SM30, a roof mount with telescoping stay bars. Here is what it looks like, fully installed.
The equipment needed to assemble and install this mount is a drill with five-sixteenths of an inch and three-eighths of an inch Tek driver bits, a level, roofing silicon, spanners, adjustable wrenches, or suitable sockets with a driver bit for your drill and of course the mount itself.
Please ensure appropriate personal protective equipment is used during your installation. This may include but is not limited to gloves, goggles, safety boots and a harness when working at heights.
The first step is to choose an appropriate roof installation location; this must be carefully inspected to ensure it is structurally sound and in good repair before installation. Please also ensure the roof location chosen is suitable for optimal signal and accepted by the customer before installation.
After choosing the installation location, install the clevis bracket by removing existing roof screws and applying roofing silicon to the penetration points. Penetrations should only be through the ridges of the roof sheeting. Seat the two cyclone washers and fasten down the clevis bracket using the two type seventeen, sixty-five-millimetre tek screws.
Now install the two duo cleats. Make sure to install them where the stay bars are not extended beyond their maximum install length of two point seven metres and with a minimum seventy-degree angle between the two stay bars. Remove existing roof screws, apply roofing silicon to the penetration points, seat the two rubber washers, and fasten down the duo cleat bracket using the two type seventeen, sixty-five-millimetre Tek screws. Repeat for the second duo cleat.
Take the thinner end of the two stay bars and, using a suitable tool like an adjustable wrench, carefully bend the two flattened ends to an appropriate angle for the roof pitch you are installing; repeat for the other end as well so the top of the stay bar will fit flush against the mast when connected.
Remove the nut from the top of the duo cleat, seat the thinner end of the stay bar over the bolt head and loosely thread the nut back on, leaving it so the stay bar is free enough to lay down on the roof surface without leveraging the duo cleat. Repeat on the other side.
Now seat the bottom of the mast into the clevis bracket and lock it into place using an M8 hex bolt with nut, two flat washers and a spring washer. Gently tighten, making sure not to overtighten and crush the mast.
While stabilizing the mast with one hand, lift one of the stay bars into place. Ensure the flattened ends are also bent to a suitable angle to fit flush against the mast surface. Attach to the mast using an M8 hex bolt with a flat washer. Now lift the second stay bar into position and seat over the bolt end. Gently fasten it in place using a flat washer, spring washer, and M8 nut. Firmly tighten into place, ensuring not to overtighten and crush the mast tube.
Tighten and lock into place the nuts on the top of the two duo cleats to secure the stay bar bases to the roof.
Using your level, adjust the mast so it is plumb. With the mast held in this position, drill the self-tapping tek screws into the overlapped section of the two stay bars using the pre-drilled points as pilot holes. There are two fastening points on each stay bar.
Please note that the mount can have the stay bars installed at a ninety-degree angle if required. There is an additional pre-drilled bolt hole in the mast and an extra M8 bolt with washers and nut for this installation method.

Hi, I will take you through the setup of the SM32, a roof mount with telescoping stay bars. Here is what it looks like: fully installed.
The equipment needed to assemble and install this mount is a drill with five-sixteenths of an inch and three-eighths of an inch Tek driver bits, a level, roofing silicon, spanners, adjustable wrenches, or suitable sockets with a driver bit for your drill, a pipe clamp or similar tool and of course the mount itself.
Please ensure appropriate personal protective equipment is used during your installation. This may include but is not limited to gloves, goggles, safety boots and a harness when working at heights.
The first step is to choose an appropriate roof installation location. This must be carefully inspected to ensure it is structurally sound and in good repair before installation. Please also ensure the roof location chosen is suitable for optimal signal and accepted by the customer before installation.
After the installation location is chosen, first install the SM32 clevis bracket by removing any existing roof screws and applying roofing silicon to the penetration points. Penetrations should only be through the ridges of the roof sheeting, seat the two cyclone washers and then fasten down the clevis bracket using the two type seventeen, sixty-five-millimetre tek screws.
Now install the two duo cleats. Make sure to install them where the stay bars are not extended beyond their maximum install length of three point five metres and with a minimum seventy-degree and maximum ninety-degree angle between the two stay bars.
Remove any existing roof screws, apply roofing silicon to the penetration points, seat the two rubber washers and then fasten down the duo cleat bracket using the two type seventeen, sixty-five-millimetre tek screws. Repeat for the second duo cleat.
Now, take the thinner end of the two stay bars and carefully bend the two flattened ends to a suitable angle for the roof pitch you are installing using an appropriate tool like an adjustable wrench. Repeat this for the other end so the top of the stay bar fits flush against the mast when connected.
Remove the nut from the top of the duo cleat, seat the thinner end of the stay bar over the bolt head and loosely thread the nut back on, leaving it so the stay bar is free enough to lay down on the roof surface without leveraging the duo cleat. Repeat on the other side.
Now seat the square tube mast holder into the clevis bracket and secure it using a three-inch hex bolt with nut, flat washer and spring washer. Gently tighten into place.
Then, using your spirit level, ensure the square tube is vertical and then secure it into place by drilling four self-tapping tek screws into the pre-piloted holes. Be careful not to over-drill the self-tapping screws; otherwise, they could shear off in the thicker tube steel.
Next, take your mast and, using a pipe clamp or similar support tool, clamp to the mast just below halfway. Now, fit the sliding stay bar holder by inserting it over the top of the mast and resting it on the support clamp you just fitted. There is a pre-drilled hole in the mast; the shorter end from this point is the top of the mast.
Please install your antenna to the top of the mast and secure the cable to the mast no more than four hundred and fifty millimetres down from the top.
Next, seat the bottom of the mast into the square tube mast holder, which will help support the mast during the stay bar attachment steps.
While stabilizing the mast with one hand, lift one of the stay bars into place, make sure the flattened ends have also been bent to a suitable angle to fit flush against the mast clamp surface if required, then attach to the mast using an M ten hex bolt and nut. Now lift the second stay bar into position and repeat. Tighten both mast clamp bolts securely into position.
Now tighten and lock into place the M ten nuts on the top of the two duo cleats to secure the stay bar bases to the roof.
Slide the stay bar holder tube up the mast above the predrilled hole point and install the remaining hex head bolt with nut, flat washer and spring washer. Gently tighten into place and let the sliding stay bar holder rest on top of this bolt.
Using your level, adjust the mast so it is plumb. With the mast held in this position, drill the self-tapping tek screws into the overlapped section of the two stay bars using the pre-drilled points as pilot holes. There are two fastening points on each stay bar.
Now the installation is nearly complete, all that is left to do is connect your antenna to your test instrument and rotate the mast to optimal signal alignment and then lock off by drilling the supplied self-tapping tek screws into the pilot holes of the sliding stay bar holder and into the square mast base holder to lock the mast in position.
The installation is now complete.

Hi, welcome to Matchmaster for the best. Today we are going to talk to you about the 05MM-WP70 wall plate for cable management.
The WP70 pre-assembled, with fold out locking clips on the side of the plate pre-installed, a brush cover at the front for easy cable pass through and a neat and tidy, slim line plate cover.
The WP70 features a fifty by twenty millimeter opening to allow many cable types and moulded cable ends to easily pass through and has been designed so you do not require any additional mounting accessories due to the use of the floating clips for securing to the wall sheet.
Let’s take you through the installation of the unit, it’s a very simple one piece design, all you will need to set this up are: phillips head screwdriver, pencil, wall plate level and a wall sheet cutting tool. Okay let’s get started.
The wall cutout diameter for the WP70 is one hundred and fifteen millimeters wide by fifty five millimeters high so we will need to use a suitable cutting tool to create an opening in the wall for the WP70 to be installed.
Once we have selected our location for the WP70, we need to mark out on the wall the installation location. You can use the supplied cutout template to trace around then ensure the horizontal trace lines are level. Check the location using a stud finder, metal detector or electrical detector and make sure there are no obstructions behind before making any cuts.
Once confirmed, it is safe to cut in this location, we can go ahead and make our cut using our cutting tool, be careful not to force the tool too quickly through the wall, just in case there is anything further back in the wall, that you haven’t detected.
Now we take our WP70, which is ready to install, and we pop the slim line cover off so we can access the screw points.
Now place the WP70 in the cutout, gently pressing into the wall sheet allowing the stabilizer fins to seat into the wall while ensuring the plate is still level, if you are fitting to a harder sheet surface, you may need to make small cuts to allow the stabilizer fins to seat properly and allow the plate to fit flush to the wall surface.
Before fitting into the wall cutout, please ensure to feed your cables through the wall plate opening.
Now hold the unit in the location, take your Phillips head screw driver, just give it a few winds anticlockwise first to unwinds and prepare the locking clip, then wind it in the clockwise direction to seat the locking clip in position and secure the WP70 to the wall, continue this step on the other fastening screw.
Now pass the WP70 cover plate over the cable ends and clip securely into place.
And that is it, the WP70 wall plate is now installed and secure leaving a neat and tidy finish.

Matchmaster’s MatchPlan Pro is an easy to use five wire system design tool for satellite pay TV. MatchPlan Pro can be found at matchplanpro.com on mobile, tablet or desktop.
MatchPlan Pro allows you to submit details of a high rise building project, then receive a detailed schematic diagram and required parts list.
Let’s get started by going to your browser and typing in matchplanpro.com
Once you’re on the MatchPlan Pro website, you will need to provide your individual details. The email address you enter will be where you receive the final diagram and report by Matchmaster.
Next we will go down to the wholesaler’s section. This allows you to nominate a preferred wholesaler in your area which Matchmaster will liaise with when providing a quote. This also ensures stock availability for pick up via the wholesaler.
Project details. The project details will be included in a convenient line diagram and project parts that can all be used to provide your client with the projects scope followed by a quotation. The date required is the date you require all items to be picked up to complete the project and please don’t hesitate to add any specific detailed project notes so we can provide the best possible solution for your client’s project.
The outlet matrix is where MatchPlan Pro truly shines, in this section you will understand just how powerful a tool like MatchPlan Pro will become when quoting and providing estimates for future projects. Matchmaster’s MatchPlan Pro is designed to suit vertical high rises up to twenty-five floors and you can customise your projects floors by selecting the green plus symbol button or using the text field next to total floors.
In this example we will be designing an eight floor high rise building. MatchPlan Pro doesn’t require the number of units or rooms per floor but only the pay TV/FTA and FTA outlets for the entire floor. FTA outlets are single cabled outlets that provide free to air only output. Pay TV/FTA outlets are dual cabled for pay TV and free to air connections. Go down the building adding all your single and dual cabled outlets. Once completed you will find a pre-calculated total number of FTA outlets and pay TV/FTA outlets. Make sure these match your project requirements otherwise you will need to revisit each floors outlets.
When the outlet matrix is completed, move down to the final steps for MatchPlan Pro to provide you with a project parts list and line diagram. Add the distance in metres between riser floors. This is an average value. Estimate the shortest and longest cable run lengths required between wall outlet and riser. Then specify the number of in-house channels required for your project, plus tick if your project will be using DAB plus, and if you require a FM radio antenna and pay TV satellite dish.
Hit the submit project button. MatchPlan Pro will email you three PDF’s being a project details confirmation, estimated parts list and a detailed diagram of how your projects parts will be laid out per floor. Matchmaster will be notified of your project details and will contact you within the next twenty-four hours with a quote.
If you require any assistance using MatchPlan Pro, please contact your local Matchmaster sales representative or call 1800 237 425 to speak with one of Matchmaster’s engineers.

Hi, today I’ll be talking you through the setup of the TRSF-6L. Here is what it looks like fully terminated. The equipment needed to assemble this connector is the coax cable stripper, the compression tool, RG6 cable, a cable cutting tool and of course the connector itself.
The TRSF-6L is an RG6 Foxtel approved connector. Firstly, get your stripper tool, insert the cable and wind it around. Afterwards, pull back the braid and the foil sheath. Then, get your connector, twist on and push.
Grab your compression tool, open handles, insert prepared connector, make sure it locks in and compress by squeezing the handles together. Lastly, Lastly, use your cable cutting tool to cut off the centre conductor to approximately 1 to 2 millimetres from the end of the connector and the job is done.
But wait, what happens when using the wrong compression tool for a connector, I’ll show you. As we use the CT01S, notice as it compresses the connector, it damages the base affecting the integrity of the connection. For this connector you must use a tool with a 360 degree closed gate for an even compression such as the 08MM-CT04. Be sure to always use the right tools.

Hi, today I’ll be talking you through the setup of the SI6Q. Here is what it looks like fully terminated. The equipment needed to assemble this connector is the coax cable stripper, RG6 cable, a cable cutting tool and of course the connector itself.
The SI6Q is an RG6 Cablecon connector; a simple and innovative push on connector. A great feature for antenna installers as no compression tools required. Firstly, get your stripper tool, insert the cable and wind it around. Afterwards, pull back the braid and the foil sheath. Then, get your connector, twist on and push.
However, for this termination you do not need a compression or a crimping tool, it is a simple installation, a very cost effective solution and saves time. Lastly, use your cable-cutting tool to cut off the centre conductor to approximately 3 to 4 millimetres from the end of the connector and the job is done. It’s that easy, notice how strong the connector is as it grips the cable, making it difficult to come off.

Tim: Matchmaster designs, maufactures and distributes a wide range of products throughout Australia and New Zealand. Today, we have Michael Wirth, an Installer from Melbourne and he has a speedy secret to share. How are you Michael?
Michael: Good Tim, How are you?
Tim: But first, tell us a bit about yourself Michael?
Michael: I’m an antenna installer based in Melbourne. I’ve been in the industry for about ten years. I’ve worked and travelled around Australia. Out to the back of WA, regional areas, NSW, pretty much all over the place.
Tim: That’s great! Well we’ve got Michael here to discuss with us, Matchmaster’s new innovative cablecon compression connector. The 08MM-QM06, it is a universal quick mount connector. First question, why Matchmaster and why this specific connector?
Michael: Well, firstly Matchmaster have always had a reputation to delivering high performing, durable and strong equipment. The particular Matchmaster Cablecon connector is really really easy to use, doesn’t take much cable preparation and you know they are going to work beautifully every time.
Tim: So what is the required equipment to install this connector?
Michael: Okay, so you have your coaxial cable, connector, your cable strippers and your compression connector and that’s it.
Tim: Brilliant. Now, there’s been a bit of a competition going around Australia at the moment, who can install this connector the fastest. The time so far is 9.2 seconds, but I hear you can beat that?
Michael: Yes Tim, I think I can beat 9.2 seconds.
Tim: Whoa, what’s your fastest time so far?
Michael: Recently, I was able to do it in 5.5 seconds.
Tim: Wow, that’s great. How are you able to do it so fast?
Michael: You don’t have to prepare the cable too much, just strip it back, you don’t need to pull back all the fibres and everything else takes a little bit longer. The cable connectors slip on nice and easily, you don’t have to force them or sit there and really wedge them on. Which also means you don’t cut your hands to pieces after you’ve done a couple of hundred in a day. The compression crimpers are nice and easy too, just one wack and bang you’re done.
Tim: That’s great. So what are some of the challenges of working with this connector?
Michael: Probably the biggest challenges of remembering each time that you don’t have to strip back all the fibres and the shielding. That’s something I’ve been finding the hardest part to forget doing. The other part is my hands are getting nice and soft, so the old calluses are disappearing.
Tim: Okay, thanks for that Michael. Now, let’s go see that super-fast demo.
Michael: Okay, let’s do it.
Tim: Ready, set, go.
Michael: Done.
Tim: Pretty happy with that.
Michael: 3.8.
Tim: And there you have it. Michael Wirth, an antenna installer from Melbourne, beating his own current record of 5.5 seconds now down to 3.8. All with one stripping tool and one compression tool. Nice and simple. Thank you Michael.
Michael: My pleasure Tim. Absolutely, wonderful working with Matchmaster, it’s for the best. And if anyone else out there thinks they can beat 3.8 seconds, please bring it on! We would love to see it.
Hi, today I’ll be talking you through the setup of the F6M. Here is what it looks like fully terminated. The equipment needed to assemble this connector is the coax cable stripper, crimping tool, RG6 cable, a cable cutting tool and of course the connector itself.
The F6M is a crimp on F type connector, Matchmaster’s most used connector. Firstly, get your stripper tool, insert the cable and wind it around. Afterwards, pull back the braid and the foil sheath. Then, get your connector, twist on and push.
Grab your crimping tool, open the handles, insert prepared connector and crimp by squeezing the handles together. This professional crimping tool is suitable for RG6, RG11 and RG59 connectors. Lastly, use your cable-cutting tool to cut off the centre conductor to approximately 1 to 2 millimetres from the end of the connector and the job is done.

Hello and welcome to Matchmaster, For the Best.
Today I will be taking you through the set-up of our A-Class splitters. The GM Series.
They are a single port power pass splitters from 2 way through to 8 way
Single port power pass means we can only pass power through the one port, indicated by the power pass red line from the output to the input.
The purpose of the power pass leg of the splitter is to pass power through to a masthead amplifier, this is on all the GM Series splitters..
Let’s start with the 07MM-GM04.
It can carry both AC and DC voltage, has a bidirectional power pass, improves insertion loss and isolation and has a frequency range of 5 to 2450 Megahertz.
The GM04 has one input and four outputs.
First thing, connect the antenna input to the input on the splitter labelled “IN” on the face plate.
– These splitters are “A Class” splitters which have 10db extra screening effectively reducing interference.
Make sure to connect up F connectors finger tight.
Connect four outlets to the existing outlet ports on the side of the splitter.
It also features a cast housing with a soldered back cover plate for greater screening.
– Make sure the white foam dielectric is flush, with the inside of the F connector and that there is no braid wrapped around or touching the centre conductor.
– Also, make sure the centre conductor protrudes 1 to 2 mm past the F connector nut for correct secure termination.

In a world, where the digital television had become more than just a box. At the end of 2013, it was a time when the world asked ordinary men to do extraordinary things: The Rise of Digital.
Where Matchmaster’s latest product shows the secrets of perfect reception, a V8 is born. Matchmaster invites you the new power of entertainment products. It’s an event not to be missed. This one in a lifetime event will be launched all over Australia.
Hello and welcome to Matchmaster’s special first screening of the 01MM-V8.
The power of entertainment. Here is what it looks like fully constructed. Okay, let’s get started.
The first thing you need to do, is take the UHF element and slide it on the top of the balun. Look at its perfect long periodic design. A new level of high performance.
What makes it stand out, is its heavier duty construction, than the other twin boom antennas. Make sure the screw is nice and tight. Another great feature, is its simple set up snap lock design. This allow you to get the antenna through man holes in the ceilings and makes it compact for installers.
As you bolt on to the mast, notice we have a stainless steel U-bolt to protect against corrosion, as it occurs in coastal areas. Use the washers and nuts supplied to hold it all together. With the cable supplied, screw the connector to the output of the VHF balun and slide the rubber boot over. Then, use the cable tie to secure the RG6 cable along the boom.
As you can see, it is centre mounted, well balanced for easily installations. To add to this, Matchmaster has thrown in a 652 megahertz low pass filter in the connection box to help eliminate 4G interference.
Now you have completed constructing the V8, point it to the nearest transmitter. You can find out where your local TV transmitter is at matchmaster.tv or give us a call on 1800-AERIAL.

Hello and welcome to Matchmaster, for the best.
Today, I will be taking you through the setup of the 01MM-DC21A, here is what it looks like fully constructed. This antenna we recommend for most metropolitan and sub-regional areas.
It’s a favourite of ours, mainly for its snap lock elements and its heavy duty construction, what make it stand out is its X type dipole, f type diplexing system and dual reflector for multi path rejection.
The DC21A also features a built in 652MHz low pass 4G LTE filter for reduced interference
Okay, let’s get started.
The first thing you want to do, is twist and snap out the corner reflectors and twist the lower reflector down.
Then, connect the G unit to the boom, then secure with the washer and wing nut.
Connect the two booms together using the screws supplied.
And attach the x type dipole onto the black saddle.
Make sure the two f type connectors are facing the back of the antenna. With the cable supplied, screw the connector to the output of the VHF balun and slide the rubber boot over. If you look on top of the UHF balun you will see output and input. Make sure you connect to the VHF link to the input.
Insert the U-bolt through the nest and slide it into the boom and through the bracket. Use the washers and nuts supplied to hold it all together.
Bolt the antenna onto your mast.
Now that you’ve completed constructing the DC21A, connect your antenna cable and point it to the nearest TV transmitter. To find out where your local TV transmitter is, go to matchmaster.tv or give us a call on 1800-AERIAL.
