105 Grounding, Weatherproofi ng & Power Supplies Weatherproofing Kits Don’t overlook the importance of weatherproofing your connectors. Moisture can cause corrosion, which leads to arcing, shorts and other significant RFI and electrical issues. The basic kit includes self-adhesive weather- proofing material and 3M Tartan 1710 vinyl UV-resistant electrical tape. The Upgraded version uses professional grade Scotch Super 33+ tape, while our Ultimate version includes Super 88 electrical tape.

GCL-3215 Flexible Copper Sheeting ......................................................$19.99 Copper Radio RF Ground Plane Kits Amateur Radio operators know that radio frequency interference (RFI) can significantly diminish transmitted and received signal quality. DX Engineering’s Radio RF Ground Plane Kits of er an ef ective solution to this common problem by reducing stray RF pickup by indoor radio equipment and interconnecting cables. The kits include a 1/16-inch-thick copper sheet. When placed under your HF radios, microphones and other devices, this RF ground plane, also known as a reference plane, decreases the chances of experiencing RF trouble. The copper sheet is connected to your existing grounding bus. Used by top contesters and DXers, copper RF ground planes curtail voltage dif erences between pieces of equipment and associated currents that cause RF interference to transceivers, microphones, tuners, amplifiers, computers and other electronic equipment. Further, placing audio and data cables directly on the metal surface can lessen their ability to pick up RF. DX Engineering Radio RF Ground Plane Kits come with either a 13" x 10", 16" x 16", or 20" x 20" pre-drilled copper sheet and all necessary hardware for easy installation. Kits are available with or without an MDF mounting board. Radio RF Ground Planes are intended for indoor use only and are not to be confused with ground planes or radial systems used for vertical antennas.
