Go to:

http://www.hy-gain.com/

For the manuals.

And for parts a call and a credit card number will get the shipped promptly.

Unlike other companies that purchase companies, MFJ did not double or triple 
Hy-gain prices and Hy-gain is still a pleasure to do business with.

I just finished rebuilding 3 Hy-gain antennas.
