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
Hutsler BTV series (4BTV thru the 6BTV), the SteppIR (BiggIR or SmallIR) or one of your own construction.
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 de-coupling
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.
DXE-112-KIT SO-239, Chassis Mount Socket, Silver Plating, Teflon® Insulation
Chassis mount SO-239 with Silver plating and Teflon® insulation for high power situations. Packaged with the correct stainless
bolts, flat washers, star washers and Nyloc locking nuts. When using the optional DXE-VFCC Vertical Feedline Choke, this
bulkhead connector is not used. Your coaxial line will connect direct to the VFCC.
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.
