A modernized “G5RV-class” center-fed wire designed for efficient multiband use with a manageable span. It uses a specific ladder-line section (~40 ft) as an impedance transformer so more bands fall near tuner range, while keeping the total horizontal length to ~88 ft, not 135 ft like a full 80 m dipole. Ships at ~92 ft so you can trim for best SWR in your installation.

• Works: 80–40–20–17–15–12–10–6 m (an ATU typically needed on 80 m; often also on 30/15 m).
• SWR varies with height, ground, and nearby objects; trim wire and/or slightly adjust ladder-line length for best results.
• Expect the best native match when each side is near 44 ft and ladder line is ~40 ft as shipped.

1. Hang the center ~30 ft (or higher) with a halyard; keep ends ≥15 ft off ground. Total leg angle 120–180°; avoid <45° on each side.
2. Route ~40 ft of ladder line down to the coax interface balun (choose 500 W / 1.5 kW / 5 kW).
3. Connect coax from balun to station; add a CMNF at the radio to keep braid-borne noise out.
4. Tune-up: try as-shipped lengths first (~46 ft per side). Then trim by folding back the last few feet to target ~44 ft per side.

• Factory ships near 46 ft/side so you can trim toward ~44 ft/side if desired.
• Ladder line: keep around 40 ft. If your installation pushes SWR low in frequency, shorten the ladder line slightly (≤~2 ft) as a fine adjustment.
• Use an ATU on 80 m and often 30/15 m. Reduce power if you suspect balun saturation on difficult matches.

• 500 W PEP: MB-1-500-50 (coax ↔ ladder line interface)
• 1.5 kW PEP: CB-1-1500TS
• 5 kW PEP: CB-1-5000TS
• You can upgrade power later by swapping the balun only.
