DX Engineering's 12 Meter BTV Add-On Kits

DX Engineering's 12 Meter BTV Add-On Kits add 12 meter coverage to the Hustler BTV series of vertical antennas without giving up any existing band coverage.

These kits will operate across the entire 12 meter band, 24.890 through 24.990 MHz, with an SWR of 1.5:1 or less. They can handle full legal limit power and add negligible wind loading to the antenna. Simply install the kit, check the tuning (if needed, make some minimal tuning adjustments to the vertical) and you're on the air with an additional band!

If your BTV is installed on the roof or in an elevated position, four resonant radials for 12 meters should be added (9 ft., 4-5/8 in. long, each).

Your BTV vertical can have both the DXE-AOKB-12M 12 Meter add-on-kit and the DXE-AOKB-17M 17 Meter add-on-kit installed at the same time. They do not interact with each other.

Materials supplied with these kits include:

* Pre-assembled 12 Meter element wire with #10 soldered ring terminals
* Four Stainless Steel Band Clamps with Threaded Studs
* Bottom Mounting Bracket
* Spring-loaded End Insulator to keep the 12 Meter element wire tight
* Upper Insulated Mounting Bracket
* Two 11-1/4 in. long Tuning Rods
* Scotch-Brite® Pad for cleaning the 12 Meter element connections
* All Necessary Stainless Steel Hardware

Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information.

The 12 meter band can be lots of fun. Be ready for the next band opening! Add one of these DX Engineering 12 Meter BTV Add-On Kits to your BTV antenna!
