Note: As you raise the antenna to the vertical position, it’s important to
maintain the parallel alignment between the antenna mounting channel
and the Tilt Base backing plate to minimize binding. Make sure the lower
tilt-base bolts are never excessively loose before raising. They should be
first tightened securely and then backed off no more than 1/2 turn
Once the antenna is fully raised, tighten the tilt base hardware (top two Nyloc nuts and two flange
nuts, bottom two Nyloc nuts).
Feedline Connections
The most efficient way to make a reliable feedline connection using customer supplied coaxial
cable is using the optional
DXE-RADP-3 Radial Plate with the optional DXE-112-KIT SO-239
Chassis Mount Connector as shown in Figure 12 .
Use a customer supplied insulated wire soldered on the center pin of the chassis mounted SO-239
(14 gage insulated wire is adequate - same wire used for DX Engineering Radial Wires) 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.

To minimize stress on the feedline connection, make sure the feed point connection has sufficient
slack when raising and lowering the vertical. Make sure all connections are tight.
