Recommended wide range manual tuners generally have a good quality variable roller inductor for
fine tuning. While there are also good automatic tuners on the market, one we have tested and
recommend in low power applications is the
MFJ-993B
IntelliTuner™
, now available from DX
Engineering.
Longer lengths of coaxial cable aid in achieving best tuning results. For this application, 150 feet of
RG-213/U is recommended for operation on all bands and is available from DX Engineering.

The patented DX Engineering Radial Plate is for those of you that have, or are building, a quarter wave vertical
antenna and who want an easy, neat and effective way to connect those essential radial wires and the coax to your
vertical antenna for the lowest takeoff angle and strongest signals. DX Engineering Radial Plate is laser cut from
tough stainless steel so that it has smooth edges, will not corrode and will always look good. You will be proud of
how good your installation looks. This plate will work perfectly with most commercially available vertical antennas
such as the DX Engineering Vertical Antennas, Hustler BTV series (4-BTV thru the 6-BTV), the SteppIR (BiggIR or
SmallIR) or one of your own construction.
