DESCRIPTION & SPECIFICATION
The KC4 is a 4-band vertical antenna made of aluminum alloy. It covers 40/20/15/10 meters. The user trims the antenna to the part of the band as needed.
Automatic band switching: The KC4 has a single coax cable feed however each bandis individually tuned with a low VSWR across the band. Through fine- tuning, the best (rock-bottom) SWR can be achieved on the user’s choice of frequency within the band. The band selection is 100% automatic through the single feed, just switch bands on the radio.
Top loading : The KC4 uses top loading to achieve higher efficiency froma short self supporting vertical radiator.
Outdoor weather ability: The KC4 is rated for high wind environments. After a normal installation, it can resist a category one hurricane with no guying required.

D. Insert the NO.2 rod inside the NO.1 rod and secure it by tightening the screws on the outside. The remaining rods you can install by following the sequential prompts
E. Put the antenna on.
F. Finish
*Note: The actual wind resistance level depends on the method and the
firmness of the
installation (mainly depends on the fixed object). And please pay attention to
lightning protection
