DXE-RADP-3 - Radial Plate, Stainless Steel with 20 Sets of SS Radial Attachment Hardware
The DX Engineering Radial Plate is meant for those of you that have or are building a quarter wave vertical
antenna and who want an easy, neat and effective way to connect those essential radial wires and the coax to your
vertical antenna for the lowest takeoff angle and strongest signals. DX Engineering Radial Plate is laser cut from
tough stainless steel so that it has smooth edges, won’t corrode and will always look good. You will be proud of
how good your installation looks. This plate will work perfectly with most commercially available vertical
antennas such as the Hustler BTV series (4-BTV thru the 6-BTV), the SteppIR (BiggIR or SmallIR) or one of your
own construction.
DXE-TB-4P - Tilt Base Kit for Ground Mounted 1/4 Wave Vertical Antennas
The DX Engineering Tilt Base mounting plate enables operators to raise or lower an antenna in seconds while
leaving the base securely attached to the mounting post. With the Tilt Base, one person can service an antenna—no
more climbing ladders, or removing a bracket from the support post. Precision cut from 3/16 in. 304 Stainless
Steel, this mounting plate is virtually indestructible. Conveniently mounts to the same mast that you use for the
antenna and Radial Plate. Easily make repairs, tune your vertical, or lay your antenna down before bad weather hits
with a DX Engineering Tilt Base.
Note:
If you are mounting your Tilt Base to a ground mounted pipe, an additional purchase of two saddle clamps is
required to mount the Tilt Base to that pipe. The SSVC-2P stainless steel V-Clamp can be used with pipes from 1" to 2" OD or the
SAD-200A can be used with a 2 inch OD pipe.
DXE-VFCC-H05-A - 2/5 kW Vertical Feedline Current Choke for Coaxially Fed 50 Ω HF Vertical Antennas
The Advantages of Using a VFCC:
Prevents unwanted RFI by eliminating feedline current and radiation
All power goes to the antenna, improving efficiency
Reduces noise or unwanted signals picked-up by the feedline
Overcome a less than optimal ground system
Bracket isolates the VFCC case from ground for best decoupling
DXE-SSVC-2P - Stainless Steel V-Clamp for steel pipe, 2 inch V-bolt
This V-Clamp is made in one size that fits Steel tubing or pipe from 1" to 2'' OD as used in antenna construction. The supplied V-
bolt is long enough to attach tubing to thick plates and is made with anti-corrosive properties. The special Stainless Steel saddle has
serrated teeth will clamp to the pipe securely by biting into the surface. For this reason, it is not recommended for softer aluminum
tubing or pipe. Ideal for fastening a radial plate and antenna mounting to a steel pipe.
Used to clamp 1 to 2'' (OD) steel tubing or pipe
Designed for attachments that don't require resistance to torque
V-bolt and saddle made from high-strength 18-8* stainless steel
The use of an anti-seize compound is HIGHLY recommended to achieve proper torque and prevent galling.
UMI-81343, DXE-NSBT8 - Anti-Seize & Never-Seez
An Anti-seize compound MUST be used on any Stainless Steel nuts, bolts, clamps or other hardware to prevent
galling and thread seizure. Any of these products can be used for this purpose.
