DXE-VMN-1 - Vertical Antenna Matching Network
The 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 for 80 meters may be difficult without some means of adjusting feedpoint
impedance. The DXE-VMN-1 allows easy adjustment for lowest SWR. The DXE-VMN-1 Vertical Antenna
Matching Network will aid in tuning a low impedance antenna to the minimum SWR in the customer selected portion
of the 80 meter band. The #12 AWG coil wire is tin-nickel plated for high power handling, corrosion resistance, ease
of soldering and long term reliability.
As an added benefit, the DXE-VMN-1 will act as a static bleed for your
vertical antenna in areas where precipitation or snow static is present. The Vertical Matching Network may be
installed between ground and the feedpoint of any quarter wave base-fed vertical antenna - including mobile antennas.
It CANNOT be used on non-resonant antenna such as a 43 foot vertical.
