| '''Type''' || The antenna type. Changing it resets the length.
|-
| Length || The main dimension. Its label depends on the type.
|-
| '''Height''' || Height above the ground, in metres.
|-
| '''Feedline loss''' || Loss of the cable to the radio, in dB.
|-
| '''Mount''' || '''Fixed''', '''Azimuth rotator''' or '''Az-El rotator'''.
|-
| '''Points toward''' || On a '''Fixed''' mount, the direction of a directional antenna, in degrees from north.
|-
| '''Parks at azimuth''', '''Elevation''' || On a rotator, where the antenna points when a session starts. '''Elevation''' is only on an Az-El rotator.
|-
| '''Check SWR at''' || The antenna's SWR at a frequency you choose.

'''Import NEC deck…''' replaces the built-in model with your own and '''Use built-in''' goes back. '''Remove''' deletes the antenna; a station keeps at least one. See [[Antenna System]] for choosing and tuning, and [[SimTX Guide/Rotators and tracking|Rotators and tracking]] for rotators.
