Downtilt Possibilities: Downtilting of Antennas

This document discusses two methods for downtilting antennas: mechanical and electrical downtilt. Mechanical downtilt involves manually adjusting the downtilt spindle with an integrated scale. Electrical downtilt uses a remote control unit interface with an adjustment wheel and gearwheel to set the downtilt angle. The document provides instructions for manually adjusting the downtilt angle and notes that antennas without remote electrical tilt only require rotating the adjustment wheel.
