Feedline Connection

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-UHF-FDFB-KIT

SecureMount

™

dual SO-239

Bulkhead Mount Connector with the

DXE-FP-WIRE-P

Feedpoint Wire Connector Assembly

should be used as shown below.

Optional DXE-VMN-1 Vertical Antenna Matching Network

The

DXE-VMN-1

Vertical Antenna Matching Network is custom designed for use with

base-fed quarter wave resonant vertical antenna systems. In some vertical antenna
installations with excellent radial systems, achieving the best SWR on a resonant vertical
for 80 meters may be difficult without some means of adjusting feedpoint impedance.
The

DXE-VMN-1

allows easy adjustment for lowest SWR.

As an added benefit, since the

DXE-VMN-1

it will act as a static bleed for your resonant vertical

antenna in areas where precipitation static or snow static is present.

Refer to the

DXE-VMN-1

manual for more details.
