DXE-TCB-UNFK - Feed Point Connection Kit
Two 1" wide x 9" long pre-drilled tinned copper braids for feedpoint connection to the vertical
antenna system.
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-2P
Stainless Steel V-Clamp:
One required for mounting the optional
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate to the antenna mounting
pipe of 1" to 2" outside diameter.
DXE-RADW Radial Wire Kits and Components:
There are optional DX Engineering Radial Wire Kits available.
DXE-RADW-500K/BD
contains a
500 foot spool of 14 gauge copper stranded wire with black PVC insulation, 20 Terminal Lugs and
100 Steel or Biodegradable Lawn Staples. The
DXE-RADW-1000K/BD
Radial Wire Kit contains
a 1,000 foot spool of 14 gauge copper stranded wire with black PVC insulation, 40 Terminal Lugs
and 200 Steel or Biodegradable Lawn Staples.
RADW-20RT, -32RT
or -
65RT
contain 20 each
radial wires with 1/4" terminal attached. These kits come in 20 Ft, 32 Ft, or 65Ft lengths.
DXE-GUY-200
Guying Kit for Vertical Antennas:
Some vertical manufacturers indicate their antennas do not need guying. During times
of high winds or ice loading, some of these verticals may sustain damage or fail
altogether. With the small amount of effort needed to install a four point guying system,
the risk hardly seems worth taking. A four-point guying scheme provides the best
mechanical advantage to reduce wind stress, regardless of direction. A four point
guying system is recommended for use with the DX Engineering Tilt Base, because just
one of the guy ropes has to be loosened when you tilt the vertical down. The remaining
guys help stabilize the vertical in three directions when being raised.
Additional Material Needed but not Supplied:
Antenna Mounting
- Steel mounting pipe, up to 2.0
