martin_h Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 OK, so I have just got this serial and am attempting to put it together...does this look right, shouldn't all the elements be isolated?? The non green connector is aluminium.this is the serial....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3el-144MHz-LFA-Yagi-0-67m-boom-Super-Quiet-LFA-Yagi-allow-you-hear-more-/291804427347?hash=item43f0e63453 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyBound Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi, i think the oblong box section should be at the back, bottom of the picture, and the shortest rod at the front, which you have, so the oblong box section is in the two green connectors.... Just my thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Reade Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 They are in the right order but I didn't think the driven element made contact with the boom. Any yagi designs I've seen the loop had to be insulated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any yagi designs I've seen the loop had to be insulated? That's what I thought, but. The loop material is a different diameter and the 2 clamps fit. I might wrap some insulating tape around the loop under the clamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_h Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Sorted! I now have the the instructions, metal clamp goes on the loop opposite the feed point, as in my original picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Reade Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Yes just found a pic of another of these antennas and that is the case ☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Admiral Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi Martin, I'm glad that you got it sorted. It's not always the case that the elements are insulated from the boom. This is an Innovantenna's product, and I found that I had to ask for the assembly instructions as they should have been emailed, and even then they didn't quite match what I had. However, the company is extremely responsive to emails; I even had a response on a Sunday. Now that you've acquired the instructions I guess that you've found that out!

martin_h Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 The instructions don't mention the conducting connector but the person who replied to the email mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
