Only issue was - the arrow on the inner knob was pointing 180 degrees from the pointy end of the antenna - which confounded me, since everything is keyed. Called the tech line, they told me the " front " of the antenna is actually the flat end - that is the end that captures the signal. Go figure ! Sort of a reverse arrow ....

It all depends on what you call the pointy end. Generally speaking the small end of an unidirectional antenna will point toward the signal source. However, I can see why it looks confusing on the antenna. I'm guessing the point on the what looks like the arrow head may just be styling. I'd have to see an X-ray of it to be sure.
