46 | The abbreviation "IT" means "Insert To", it is the construction distance from the element tip to the edge of the boom for through boom mounting
|
47 |
|
48 | Spacings measured centre to centre from previous element
|
49 | Tolerance for element lengths is +/- 1 mm
|
50 |
|
51 | Boom position is the mounting point for each element as measured from the rear of the boom and includes the 20 mm overhang.The total boom length is 2000 mm including two ends of 20 mm and 13.8 mm
|
52 |
|
53 | The ACTIVE boom length is 1966 mm is the length used in gain calculations (see manual)
