The DX Engineering 

DXE-8040-30AOK

 kit adds 30 meter coverage to the DX Engineering 80/40 

dual band vertical antenna without giving up any existing band coverage.  
 
This kit will operate across the entire 30 meter band at full legal limit with an SWR of 1.5:1 or less 
and adds negligible wind loading to the antenna. 
 
No disassembly of the existing antenna is required. 
 
Simply install this kit, check the tuning (if needed, make some minimal tuning adjustments) and 
you're on the air with an additional band.
