How is a Cobra UltraLite Installed?
For best results, support with 1/8″ (or 3/16″) UV-rated cord. Loop cord through both end-block holes to reduce chafing. Install so center is 30′ feet or more above ground–well clear of conductive roofing or house wiring. Avoid routing ladder line over metal surfaces, near parallel cables, or along the ground (if the feed must run parallel to a metallic support, twist it one rotation per foot to prevent proximity imbalance). For center support, install the included support tab on the center insulator using the existing feedline support screws. Simply remove the screws, position the tab on the insulator surface opposite the ladder line, and reinstall (see below): Ladder-line feed may be trimmed, but using the full 81′ length generally results in easier tuning on all bands. Excess feedline should be suspended in loose coils rather than wrapped tightly in a roll.
