It is also possible to add a much longer whip in addition to the extra<br />
antenna accessory arm. The configuration below uses the 12 foot shockcord<br />
whip instead of the 9.5' whip. With the longer whip two more taps<br />
come off the total (now only requiring 8 turns) and the radiation<br />
resistance has risen to the point where the TRSB must only be set to 2:1.<br />

Adding a fourth antenna accessory arm creates a system similar to the<br />
one above except you should reduce the coil setting to tap 7.<br />
