The easiest way to make a reliable feedline connection using customer supplied coaxial cable is
using the
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate with the
DXE-112-KIT
SO-239 Chassis Mount Connector as
shown in
Figure 20
.
Use a customer supplied insulated wire soldered on the center pin of the chassis mounted SO-239
(14 gage insulated wire is adequate) to a ring terminal which is connected to the antenna feedpoint
hardware.
Make the wire long enough so it will not bind when raising or lowering the antenna.
When connected in this manner, the customer supplied coaxial cable will feed the antenna and the
shield will have a positive and reliable connection to the radial field.
