    This document provides assembly and tuning instructions for Maxrad base station antennas, including the MBS-150/250 and MBX-150/250 models. It explains how to adjust the telescoping rod sections to the proper length according to frequency charts and then fine tune the antennas using a VSWR bridge to minimize reflections. Safety warnings are also given to avoid electric power lines while installing.
