*

Customer supplied wide band tuner required. 

 

Impedance: 200 ohms to 50 ohms 

 

 

Ratio: 4:1

 

 

Power Handling: 2 KW/5 KW Peak - Handles rated power with minimal energy loss so 
there is no thermal related failure. 

 

Silver/PTFE SO-239 input connector  

 

Two 1/4-20 feedpoint connection studs with Stainless Steel Flat Washers, Split Washers, 
Fender Washers & Wing Nuts 

 

High impact plastic, weather sealed NEMA spec case: 2-1/2" x 4" x 4" inches (HxWxL) 

 

Shares the same mounting footprint as other similar competitive products, so it may be 
easily substituted in existing installations for superior performance. 

 

DXE-UN-BRKT - Mounting Bracket Kit for the DXE-UN-43 UNUN

  

Custom patented (US Patent No. D597,086) Mounting Bracket including Custom Stainless Steel 90 
degree Studded Element Clamps, Aluminum Spacers and Stainless Steel Hardware for mounting the 

DXE-UN-43

 to the DXE Multi-Band Vertical Antenna series. 

 

 

DXE-TCB-UNFK-WR - Feed Point Connection Kit

  

One 1" wide x 9" long pre-drilled tinned copper braid for feedpoint connection to the vertical 
antenna system.  

 
Additional Material Needed but not Supplied: 

 

 

Antenna Mounting

 - Steel mounting pipe, up to 2.0

 OD, 0.25

 wall thickness, 4 feet long. 

The standard 1-1/2" galvanized water pipe (with its 1.9" OD) is just fine for this application 
and can usually be found at your local home building supply store. 

 

Quik-Set Concrete

 - Mounting pipe installation (type depends on your landscape) 

 

DXE-P8A - Penetrox™ A

 - To ensure good connection for aluminum element sections 

 

UMI-81343 - Anti-Seize 

compound - used on the threads of Stainless Steel Hardware to 

prevent galling and aid in proper tightening torque.

Installation 
 

Site Selection 

Select a mounting location clear from power lines, structures and other antennas by a minimum of 
46 feet. 

Consider overhead power lines, utility cables and wires

. The vertical should be mounted 

away from local noise sources or other metallic objects which can re-radiate noise and affect the
