Joe is correct, I am talking about the elements "horizontal"  alignment on 
the Navassa 5.  I believe the user must align all elements  "horizontally" 
ourselves and I don't enjoy that procedure because my yard  is unlevel and 
it's time consuming to try and get the elements aligned so  they are in-line 
horizontally.  The Force 12 & Skyhawk antennas have  the elerment mounting 
holes pre-drilled for the element "horizontal"  alignment.  
 
Happy Thanksgiving!

I  think Dick is referring to *horizontal* (level) alignment of
the elements -  not "tuning" the elements for SWR/Frequency.  A
saddle with no  reference point results in a physically "non-flat"
antenna where as some  other manufacturers provide element mounting
that is factory aligned so all  the elements are in the same plane.
