The
Hy-Gain
TH3-Mk3
is
a
three-d.iement
tri-band beam antenna
designed for operation
on
10, 15
and
20 meters. Multi-barlding is
accomplished through
the use of Hy-Gain's
all
Hy-Q
traps.
The
antenna is desig$ed to fit
a 1s/e"
(41
mm) O.D. mast
and can
be
rotated
with
a heavy
duty TV
rotator.

Compresslon
Clamps
Use the
compression clamps
in
the
following manner:
Take
care when measuring the
tubing
lengths
for
your
mode
of transmission.
Place
the clamp
near
the end of the tube
with
the
joint
even with the
slot.
Tighten
the clamp untilthe
inner tube cannot be turned
in
the outer tube.
One-half to
three-quarters further
turn on.the compression
screw
will
provide
a
secure
electrical
and mechanical
connection.
During the readjustment
or
disassembly
the tubes can
be separated
by
removal of the
clamp.
The tubes
can lhen
be
separated
and
the compression
clamp
reinstalled,
CAUTION
Do not
overtighten the
compression
ctamps.
NOTE:
To
save time, loosely
assemble
all of the compression clamps.and their
appropriate hardware
before
beginning further
installation of the antenna.
