Since this is the CB section and the Channel Master line is (was) a ready made product the TV antenna to 2m is waaay OT.
Try google but i have never seen or heard of channel master beams....
You had to be around in the 70's to remember the Channel Master line. It sounds like the OP has the Channel Master Signal Tracker antenna. Check out the vintage ad on CB Tricks below. Getting a manual for it may be tough.
Channel Master "Signal Tracker"
Channel Master was a brand of antennas back in the late 70`s.
They were known for the goofy delta-wing antenna that they made called the power wing but they made other antennas.
Mobile antennas, base antennas, a 1/4 wave, 1/2 wave and 5/8 antennas as well as the signal tracker 4 element beam.

I remember seeing that antenna in magazines only. Never seen any in the wild.
The beam comes in 3 boom sections and the elements all fold up much like a TV antenna. Very cool! I need to rebuild the gamma match and get all new hardware but overall its in decent shape.. I don't know id ill keep it or not, as one of my radio friends was asking me the other night about putting up a beam.
The elements have a very slight gold color to them.... Its faded but you can still see it..

Sounds like it would be a good antenna for hilltopping with the fold out elements.
