Fluidmotion 6M adder Instructions for the 4 Element
To use the 6M element the lengths for the first 6m segment (50.0
Mhz) must be changed. With firmware versions 6504 or later this is a simple
Firmware switch please see the Options menu in the Operator manual.
 Adding the 6M element makes a very good antenna between the frequencies of 
50 to 50.5Mhz in the Normal Direction.
Unfortunately the 180 mode will not work with the passive element.
  
To do this:
     Mount the new 110.5 inch 6m element 43 inches from the
     Driven element tube, measured center to center, between the driven and 
     the Mast plate.
     Mount the new 104.5 inch 6m element 69 inches from the Director two
     element tube, at the far end of the boom, measured center to center.


If the Firmware is version 3B04 or earlyer the controller values will need 
to be changed.
     First select Ham mode.
     Select segment one of 6M (50.0Mhz) using the 6M band
     select button.
     Make sure the 180 and Bi-dir LEDs are Off (normal mode).
     Enter the Create Antenna mode in the setup menu.  Change
     the existing element lengths to the values shown below.
     Set DIR1  = 104.6 - Use the 180 button to switch beteen dir1 and 2
     Set DIR2  = 100.4
     Set REF   = 111.7
     Set DVR   = adjust for the best SWR, some where around 108
     Select Done and Save and exit Setup menu back to Ham Mode.


      When using 6M select the first Normal Direction Segment in ham
     mode then adjust the frequency up to the desired frequency. It
     will also work using the transceiver interface in general coverage
     mode as long as you have the normal direction selected. To avoid
     possible confusion you may want to enter the same values for both
     the 180 and Bid modes so it will work no matter which mode you are
     in.


      The antenna is centered on  the lower part of
     6M (50.0 MHz to 50.4 Mhz).  As you go higher in the band
     the gain and F/B starts to slowly drop off and the VSWR
     will climb to about 1.5:1.  Have fun on the Magic Band!
