Richard,

For what it's worth, if you don't have an accessible copy of the manual for 
your antenna, go here:

http://www.bencher.com/pdf_download.html

In the past, any .pdf  I got from this site  was able to be read by jaws 
with no problem,  and I was also able to save a copy as  a text file which I 
often prefer.
