Collinear Gain Vertical
for 420450 MHz

PN801910

The new Hy-Gain V-4s 70 cm antenna is a collinear, dual % wave, omnidirectional,
vertical antenna for the 420-450 MHz Amateur band. The V-4s features two sets of %
wave radials which properly decouple the lower % wave radiator from the mast. It also
features a 100 watt enclosed coil that matches the antenna to a normal 50 ohms. The
feedpoint is a high quality “fY type connectorthat is protected from the weather within the
lower radiator. The V-4s also features a mast-to-mast bracket that will accept up to a two
inch O.D. mast.
_ The V-4s can also be used outside of the 7.0 cm Amateur band. Graphs are supplied so
that the antenna can be set to any frequency between 420 and 470 MHz.

Select the 7/l 6” caplug and slip over the end of the 7/l 6” tube.
Select the assembled one inch compression clamp and slip it over the top end of the 1” x
28” tube. Position it as shown in Figure 8 and tighten it just enough to prevent it from sliding
down the tube.

There are two ways to attach your coax to the V-4s antenna. The first method involves
attaching a short length of coax to the antenna before attaching the antenna to the
supporting mast. The remaining lenght of coax can then be attached and routed to the
-radio. The short length of coax must be a least 3 feet long so the connection between coax
lengths can be made below the mast-to-mast bracket.
The second method involves attaching the complete length of coax to the antenna before
attaching the antenna to the supporting mast. In this method, the antenna and entire coax
length must be carried up the tower or mast.
Choose one of the suggested methods of attaching

the coax to the V-4s.

Insert one end of the coax into the bottom of the 1” x 28” tube. Push the coax through until
the connector emerges from the top to the tube.
Screw the connector

onto the V-4s coax adaptor.

Push the coax adaptor into the top of the 1” x 28” tube until the matching coil rests on the
one inch tube. Tighten the one inch compression clamp.
The antenna can now be mounted on a mast (2” O.D. max.). For adequate
protection, the antenna supporting structure must be well grounded.

lightning

WARNING: /nstal/atlon of this product near power
lines Is dangerous.
For your safety, follow the
lnstallatlon
directions.

Several antennas may be mounted on the same mast. Your V-4s should be mounted
above the other antenna for best performance. When side mounting the V-4s on a tower, it
should be kept at least 10 inches away from the tower.
