"Frequency-based unit length correspondence table" Is different from the actual situation, and Japan Comet Corporation issued an "apology" for the incorrect description in the instruction manual of the new product "UHV-10"
Comet apologized on its official website on December 23, 2021, saying that the 9-band vertical balcony antenna "UHV-10", which was shipped as a new product, contained an error in the instruction manual. The actual product is expressed in terms of the adjusted length of the "Table of Element Length Correspondence by Frequency" described in the product instruction manual shipped from December 14 to December 21 this year and the length of the tip unit itself. It is said to be different. The company has published a PDF of the correct instruction manual and is calling on product buyers to replace it.
Comet new product "UHV-10"
Comet's "UHV-10" is a compact vertical balcony antenna with a total length of 2.15m, supporting 9 frequency bands in the 3.5/7/10/14/18/21/24/28(29)/50MHz band. It is said that it can be easily installed on fences such as balconies by using the installation base currently in use. As soon as the news was announced on December 14, it immediately aroused concern, and some wireless stores were full of reservations and were in a "waiting for arrival" state.

The incorrect sections in the UHV-10 instruction manual ("Frequency-based Element Length Correspondence Table" on page 4) are as follows:
★ Incorrect section (from the instruction manual that came with the product shipped between December 14 and 21)
The instructions for use of UHV-10 with errors are written as "1st edition. Dec 2021" (included in products shipped between December 14 and December 21). Some of the values listed in the "Frequency-Based Cell Length Correspondence Table" on page 4 differ from the actual values.
★ Correction section (instruction manual downloaded from the Comet website)
From the correct instruction manual (version 1.1. December 2021). It can be seen that the values of the 14/18/21/24MHz band of "Adjust Length L" and the 14/21/24MHz band of "Reference: Length of the Tip Unit Itself" have been corrected.
