The DX Engineering
HEXXAGONAL BEAM
Mark 2
Five Band Hexxagonal Beam Antenna
Package is a
complete build-it-yourself system, including pre-assembled wire element kits,
assembled wire guide and rope attachment clamps and a revolutionary new Five-Band Stainless
Steel/PTFE Rigid Feeder System
(US Patent No. 8,669,91, US Patent No. D624,060, British Patent No.
GB248003 B)
which operates all bands, 20 thru 10 meters with a single
feedline. All hardware is high quality stainless steel. The pre-cut wire
elements are 14 gauge stranded copper with black PVC insulation with
special black wire guide tubes and ring terminals factory assembled.
The rope supplied is a
double-braided Dacron/Polyester, not weakened
by decay or mildew and provides excellent resistance to abrasion. The
color sealed black polyester yarn used in the braided jacket also
protects the cord from damage due to ultra-violet light. The fiberglass
spreaders are measured and cut to length with pre-cut slits on one end
for proper tightening using the stainless steel band clamps. Also
included is the complete DX Engineering Hexx Hub (
US Patent No.
D605,184
). The cast aluminum Hexxagonal Beam Hub provides a
superior mounting platform with built-in v-saddle clamping channels
and all stainless steel v-bolts and hardware are included.
The
DX Engineering
HEXXAGONAL BEAM Mark 2
can offer gain
and front-to-back performance that exceeds your expectations for a
multi-band two element
beam, as its unique shape is
much smaller, better
balanced and has been
reported to receive less
noise than typical beams.
This lighter, easier to handle
antenna can be rotated with
a light duty rotator, and it
performs well, even when it
is not mounted very high
above the ground. With the
DX Engineering
HEXXAGONAL BEAM Mark 2
and kits are based
on the G3TXQ design with a broadband, u-shaped reflector for better
coverage of the bands with low SWR. This is only one of the dramatic
improvements of the G3TXQ broadband design over the "classic"
dual-w hex beam antennas.
The patented Five Band Stainless Steel/PTFE Rigid Feeder System is a
revolutionary breakthrough for Hexagonal Beam Antennas!
This new Stainless Steel/PTFE Rigid Feeder System
(US Patent No.
8,669,91, US Patent No. D624,060, British Patent No. GB248003 B)
eliminates
vulnerable coaxial cable feedpoint sections - providing a weatherproof,
low-loss, high power balanced connection to all bands for optimum
