BTV Series Antennas
The
DXE-RLT
- Reinforced Lower Tube Assembly for the Hustler
®
4-BTV, 5-BTV or 6-BTV Vertical Antenna is a custom made
aluminum, sleeved, double wall, tube assembly that replaces the first six foot aluminum section of the Hustler BTV Series antenna.
The reinforced tube assembly adds strength to the overall antenna which will help with wind survivability. The weak point in the
BTV series antennas is that first 6 foot aluminum section. By adding this sleeved assembly, you will help increase the life of your
BTV series antenna.

3M Temflex™ 2155 Rubber Splicing Tape
. Conformable, self-fusing rubber electrical insulating
tape. It is designed for low voltage electrical insulating and moisture sealing applications. For outdoor use, it should be
protected from UV deterioration with an overwrap of
TES-06132.

Super 33+
. Highly conformable, super stretchy tape, for all weather applications. This tape
provides flexibility and easy handling for all around performance. It also combines PVC backing with excellent
electrical insulating properties to provide primary electrical insulation for splices up to 600V and protective jacketing.
Both tape products are available from DX Engineering.

Antenna Analyzers

Antenna Analyzers are powerful antenna analyzers designed for testing, checking, tuning, or repairing antennas and
antenna feed-lines. Mainly, these are SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) and impedance measurement instruments (vector impedance
analyzers). Their large, bright LCD screens provide graphic illustration of SWR, impedance, return loss and much more. Easy-to use
measurement modes, as well as additional features such as connection to a personal computer (to plot Smith charts, etc.), make

analyzers attractive for professionals and hobbyists alike. The graphic display of various parameters over a wide
frequency range is a key feature of these analyzers. This significantly reduces the time required to adjust an antenna. RigExpert

Antenna Analyzers are available in several models and in various frequency ranges of operation. Each is fitted with an SO-239
female connector, except for those models that will operate above 230 MHz, where a Type N connector is more efficient.
The following tasks are easily accomplished by using RigExpert
®
Antenna Analyzers:
* Rapid check-out of an antenna
* Tuning an antenna to resonance
* Antenna SWR and impedance measurement
* Making coaxial lines or measuring their parameters
* Cable testing and fault location
* Measuring capacitance or inductance of reactive loads
