DXE-RADP-3 - Radial Plate, Stainless Steel with 20 Sets of SS Radial Attachment Hardware
The patented 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-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.

DX Engineering RG-213/U is a low-loss, 50 ohm, MIL-spec bulk coaxial cable
with a non-contaminating Type II PVC jacket. Specially manufactured for DX
Engineering, RG-213/U cable is perfect for outdoor use due to its excellent UV
resistance and durability in direct-bury applications. Specially suited for high-
power amateur stations, RG-213/U provides a lower loss solution for long cable
runs at any power level. Featuring a solid polyethylene dielectric, DX Engineering
RG-213/U uses standard PL-259 and N connectors normally designed for RG-8
sized cables.
