Installing the DXE-VMN-1 Vertical Antenna Matching Network
The optional
DXE-VMN-1
Vertical Antenna Matching Network is custom designed for use with
base-fed quarter wave resonant vertical antenna systems. In some vertical antenna installations with
excellent radial systems, achieving the best SWR on a resonant vertical may be difficult without
some means of adjusting feedpoint impedance. The
DXE-VMN-1
allows easy adjustment for
lowest SWR.
As an added benefit the
DXE-VMN-1
it will act as a static bleed for your vertical antenna in areas
where precipitation static or snow static is present.
1. Use a small Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the tap clip screw and position the tap clip on
the 6th or 7th turn on the coil as shown (this will be re-adjusted during tuning). Attach the Base
Matching Network Assembly to the optional
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate using the 1/4" flat
washer, 1/4" split lock washer and 1/4-16 hex nut as shown in
Figure 13
. Verify the wires and
coax will not be in the way when tilting the antenna.
