62 Radial Plate DX Engineering’s patented Radial Plate provides a neat, easy and ef ective way to connect essential radial wires and feedline to your quarter-wave vertical antenna. The plate can be attached easily and rigidly to a 4x4 or 6x6 post, steel or aluminum pipe up to 3 inches OD, a fence post, or whatever is supporting your antenna. Purchase the optional V-Saddle Clamp for mounting the plate to pipe up to 3 inches OD. The plate assembly has been drilled for an optional SO-239 panel mount or bulkhead mount connector, available from DX Engineering. This will ground the shield of your feedline to the radial plate before it goes to the antenna, allowing maximum transfer of ground current directly into your radial system. • Provides attachment for coaxial cable shield • Square to allow most radial attachment points • Stainless steel plate won’t dissolve like aluminum • Stainless steel hardware DXE-RADP-3 Radial Plate with 20 Stainless Steel Bolt Sets ........................$99.99 DXE-RADP-1HWK Hardware Set, Includes 20 sets of 1/4" Stainless Hardware .....$11.59 DXE-225RT-20 Ring Terminals, 1/4" Hole, for 14-/16-Gauge Wire, 20 Pack ....$6.49 DXE-SSVC-2P V-Saddle Clamp, 1" to 2" OD Applications .............................$16.49 DXE-SSVC-3P V-Saddle Clamp, 2.375" to 3" OD Applications ......................$19.49 DXE-UHF-FDFB-KIT SecureMount™ SO-239 Bulkhead Connector Kit .....................$17.48 DXE-112-KIT SO-239, PTFE/Silver, Chassis Mount with Hardware .............$16.99 DXE-363-SST SO-239, PTFE/Silver, Bulkhead Fitting with Hardware .........$11.99 DXE-FP-WIRE-N Feedpoint Assembly, N Connector, Use with DXE-1023 ........$26.99 DXE-FP-WIRE-P Feedpoint Assembly, PL-259, Use with DXE-UHF-FDFB-KIT ....$27.99 PTX-81343 Anti-Seize Compound, 1 Oz.

The Vertical Antenna Matching Network lets you tune a low impedance antenna to the minimum SWR in the user-selected portion of the band without af ecting operation on the other, higher frequency bands (if applicable). This Vertical Antenna Shunt Matching Network can be used on resonant 160 meter Inverted-L and Tee-Top wire verticals. The #12 AWG coil wire is tin-nickel plated for high power handling, corrosion resistance, ease of soldering and long-term reliability, even outdoors. DXE-VMN-1 Vertical Antenna Matching Network .......$105.99 DX Engineering Coil Tap Clips These silver-plated Coil Tap Clips provide adjustable attachment points to uninsulated coils including homebrew, Miniductor™ and Airdux™. They also are useful for making flying connections to uninsulated wire in non-RF applications without soldering or cutting. These clips will accommodate wire sizes from #20 to #10 AWG.

Simply remove the existing hex nuts and thread on the wing nuts. The old hex nuts store on the tilt base for future use. Purchase two sets to allow tightening of the lower mounting hardware without tools and for extended periods of upright installation and use.

DX Engineering Radial Wire Staples are perfect for fastening radials on the ground below the grass to eliminate the risk of damaging your radials during lawn maintenance. The radials disappear into the lawn within weeks. The low-cost metal staples have a biodegradable counterpart. The “BD” suf ix indicates a pack of 3 inch biodegradable anchors made from recycled PLA (Polylactide Resin). Depending on weather conditions, they will degrade in a year or two. They are easily installed and will hold radial wires in place until lawn roots overtake them—and then the staples disappear. Ecologically friendly. Color of BD staples varies.
