feedpoint around the vertical antenna and spaced evenly, regardless of how many radials are used.
Do not cross or bunch any radial wires as this nullifies their effectiveness. If you have limited space,
put in as many straight radials as you can. The radials must be connected to the shield of your
feedline. The
DXE-RADP-3
Stainless Steel Radial Plate is an ideal optional item which provides
an excellent system for attaching radial wires to your vertical antenna system feedpoint.
Radial wires can be laid on the roots of the grass using
DXE-STPL
Radial Wire Anchor Pins to
hold them down. Using enough staples will ensure the wires will not be snagged by mowers,
people, or animals. Grass will quickly overgrow the radials and it will be virtually impossible to see
them. An article describing this process is available on the DX Engineering website. Radials can
also be buried just under the surface by using a power edger to make a slit in the soil.
Note: UMI-81343 Never-Seez® or DXE-NSBT8 Anti-Seize
should be used on all stainless
steel threaded hardware to prevent galling and to ensure proper tightening.
Note: The following assembly instructions are based on using a customer supplied
2.895" OD Mounting Pipe (referred to as 3” OD), with the optional DXE-
VRW-1 Manual Winch, optional DXE-RADP-3 Radial Plate with one
optional DXE-SSVC-3P V Clamp and the optional DXE-112 Chassis Mount
Coaxial Cable Fitting.
