Suggested Parts Not Included
DXE-VRW-1 -
Manual Winch Add-on Raising Kit
Manual winch add-on kit for the High Performance DX Engineering vertical antennas. The tilt fixtures for these
antennas are equipped to accept the winch directly. Allows easy raising and lowering of tall antennas - may be
easily moved from one antenna to another in multi-antenna arrays.
DXE-RADP-3
- Radial Plate (
patented
):
Made from Laser Cut Stainless Steel with 20 Sets of Stainless Steel Radial Attachment Hardware. The DX Engineering
Radial Plate is meant for those of you having a vertical antenna and want an easy, neat and effective way to connect
those essential radial wires to your antenna system for the highest efficiency and strongest signals.
DXE-SSVC-3P - Stainless Steel V-Clamp for 2 to 3 inch steel pipe
This V-Clamp is made in one size that fits Steel tubing or pipe from 2'' to 3'' OD as used in antenna construction. The
supplied V-bolt is long enough to attach tubing to thick plates and is made with anti-corrosive properties. The special
Stainless Steel saddle has serrated teeth will clamp to the pipe securely by biting into the surface. For this reason, it is not
recommended for softer aluminum tubing or pipe. U-Bolt thread dimensions: 3/8-16 x 1.75". V-bolt and saddle made
from high-strength 18-8 stainless steel
DXE-RADP-1HWK - Radial Plate Wire Attachment Hardware Kit
Additional 20 Sets of ALL Stainless Steel Radial Hardware for use with the DX Engineering Stainless Steel Radial Plate.
(20) 1/4'' Bolts - (20) 1/4'' Nuts - (20) 1/4'' Flat Washers
(20) 1/4'' Split Washers - (20) 1/4'' Star Washers
DXE-225RT-20 - Ring terminal 16-14 Wire Gauge, 1/4" hole/20 Pack
\his is a set of 20 ring terminals for AWG #14 to 16 wire with a clearance hole for a 1/4" bolt. These are the same crimp
terminals supplied with the DXE Radial Wire Kits for #14 Radial and Antenna Wire.
DXE-FP-WIRE-P - Feedpoint Wire and Connector Assembly
DX Engineering Feedpoint Wire and Connector Assemblies provide a new and unique method of feeding an antenna radiating
element. A ring terminal with a 1/4 in. hole is crimped and soldered to a 12 in. long insulated 14 AWG stranded copper
wire, with weather-protective heat shrink tubing. The Feedpoint wire is terminated to the center pin of a UHF male PL-
259 with special insulating sleeves and weather-sealing heat shrink. This assembly is intended to be used with a double
female bulkhead connector, mounted into the Radial Plate, for use on an HF vertical antenna. The wire and connector
combination allows for the complete weather sealing of a single wire feedpoint, while properly terminating the feedline
shield to the radial system or ground point of the antenna system.
