only 3 sections up ,top/middle/bottom (6 x 3 = 18 ft.) with 2 tuning rings that are factory set for regular cb at the bottom part where the coax connects .....if once you get it up a few feet ,check the match, if it is high you can move the rings (keeping them locked together) a little in either direction.

 

[Cheech]

Yeah the rings should be set so tunning should not be needed. You will need a couple of antenna mast clamps to mount the antenna to a mast. Most hardware stores carry them. Also a lock washer between the top and midle section helps to keep them tight. Hope that helps answer some of your questions.

 

[PLUTO]

There is a 1/2 inch lockwasher that goes between top and mid section and a 3/8 inch lockwasher that goes between mid and bottom section.

Think you got those two reversed but its all good. I had a feeling there was supost to be one at the bottom section bu my antron has held up well without. Thanks for corecting me Pluto!!!!!73s
