The DX Engineering Garden Antennas™ are low profile vertical antenna systems designed to 
blend into the environment while still providing superior DX performance. They can be removed 
and reinstalled in minutes, satisfying that fussy neighbor or strict CC&R's. Configurations are 
available for the 40, 30, and 20 through 10 meter bands. You get full band coverage with an 
SWR of under 1.5:1 on all bands with the exception of 40 meters. The 40 meter assembly offers 
a 100 kHz bandwidth with an SWR under 1.5:1. Band changes are easily and quickly 
accomplished due to an innovative hub assembly. 
 
The Garden Antenna system consists of a 

DXE-GABU-1P

 base unit and one or more band-

specific assemblies that must be purchased separately. At least one of the band-specific 
assemblies along with the base unit is needed for the antenna to be operational. The

 

DXE-

GAHR-1P

 assembly covers the 10, 12, 15, 17 and 20 meter bands. The 

DXE-GA30M-1P

 is for 

30 meters and the 

DXE-GA40M-1P 

covers the 40 meter band. These options allow the user to 

purchase only the bands of interest and to pre-configure each assembly for easy band changes.
