500 INSTRUCTIONS
http://www.alphadeltacom.com/outii.htmOutreach Instructions
http://www.alphadeltacom.com/Inst_outrunner.htmlThe "WL" Wander Lead socket should ALWAYS be oriented to be at the BOTTOM of the LOWER 4' mast section. The UPPER 4' section screws on to the threads of the lower section and then you have the adjsutable whip anetenna. It attaches with a ferrule at the UPPER section.
The Bottom mast is a 3/8"x24 SOCKET and you require a 3/8"x 24 long stud to thread into it a standard 3/8" base mount that sits on the Outpost.
IF you are missing parts, Alpha-Delta can orer from Australia or Tower Electronics for common antenna parts.
