A second method
that may be used is the connection of a pigtail from the feedline connection on
the Hustler
®
BTV base section to the Radial Plate using a
DXE-8X19-RT
19" Pigtail for the
Hustler
®
BTV Base to PL-259 along with a
DXE-UHF-FDFB-KIT
SecureMount™ Bulkhead Fitting, SO-239 Socket, Silver Plating, PTFE
Insulation to connect to the Radial Plate.
This cable makes connecting the Hustler
®
BTV antennas to 50 ohm coax easy!
Utilize this pigtail to convert the Hustler
®
BTV base connections to a PL-259
connector. Then, use a
DXE-UHF-FDFB-KIT
SecureMount
™
bulkhead
connector to mate the pigtail to your feedline. Done! The pigtail and bulkhead
connector are ideal for use with the
DXE-RADP-3
radial plate.
This pigtail is not required if you order the optional
DXE-VFCC-H05-A
Vertical Feedline Current
Choke for connection to the base of the Hustler
®
BTV series antenna. It is also not required if you
use the
DXE-AOK-DCF
SO-239 add-on kit for direct connection of your coaxial cable feedline to
the BTV antenna.
A third way
of making feedline connections to the Hustler
®
BTV antennas is the use of an
optional Feedline Current Choke.
The DXE-VFCC-H05-A Vertical Feedline Current Choke
In cases where you have RFI in the shack, the
DXE-VFCC-H05-A
DXE Engineering Vertical
Feedline Current Choke may be the answer. The VFCC stops unwanted RF from using your coaxial
cable and either a radial or a radiating antenna.
Refer to the manual that comes with the
DXE-VFCC-H05-A
Vertical Feedline Current Choke for
basic assembly of insulated shelf, bracket and VFCC mounting on insulated shelf.
The Insulated shelf and mounting bracket are installed on the mounting pipe approximately 1/4"
above the Radial Plate using one optional
DXE-SSVC-2P
V-Clamp as shown below.
