Parts list

- N-to-RP-TNC adapter
- 35foot 50 Ohm RG-8 Cable (RP-TNC on the ends)
- Bridgeable router

Instructions for the build
- Construct your antenna following the instructions via the manufacturer.
- The antenna mast is a two-part mast with the rotator in the middle.
- Be sure when installing the rotator that you center the rotator to the north pole, otherwise the directional use of the control unit will be useless.
- Connect your cables to the antenna and feed two cables (router connection and rotator cable) to your final router and controller location.
- Make all of the connections and if all goes well your antenna will be able to rotate via the controller freely and you will able to follow the directions in the video to latch into a wireless nearby.
