2. To raise your antenna, ensure the winch hook is in the Antenna Hook Mount. Raise the antenna
using the winch. Replace the four bolts and hardware that hold the Pivot Lock Plate to the Pivot
Base Winch Mount Plate.
The winch can then be removed and stored. Do not leave the winch outdoors since extended
weather and sunlight may damage or weaken the strap. Refer to the section of the manual
“
Mounting and using the Optional DXE-VRW-1 Manual Winch
” for detailed information.
DANGER: When raising or lowering the vertical antenna make sure you have
not inadvertently located the antenna underneath power lines.
Residential power lines are often less than 40' high.
Contact With Any Power or Utility Lines Can Be Lethal !
Suggested Feedline Connection
The easiest way to make a reliable feedline connection using customer supplied coaxial cable is
using the optional
DXE-RADP-3 Radial Plate with the optional DXE-112-KIT SO-239 Chassis
Mount Connector as shown in Figure F-1 .
Use a customer supplied insulated wire soldered on the center pin of the chassis mounted SO-239
(14 gage insulated wire is adequate) to a ring terminal which is connected to the antenna feedpoint
hardware (See page 15). Make the wire long enough so it will not bind when raising or lowering the
antenna.
When connected in this manner, the customer supplied coaxial cable will feed the antenna and the
shield will have a positive and reliable connection to the radial field.
