Hi-Z® Antennas DL-4 V2 Long and Short Delay Cables

Hi-Z® Antennas DL-4 V2 Long and Short Delay Cables are essential components for the Hi-Z 4 Element V2 4 Square and Hi-Z 8 Element V2 Multi-Band 8 Circle Receive Array Systems. These are the high quality RG-6U coaxial cables that are precision tuned by DX Engineering and terminated with compression-style weather resistant male F connectors.

These Hi-Z DL4 V2 Delay Cables must be selected and purchased separately, depending upon the desired array band coverage and corresponding size of the array, detailed below. Each are permanently connected to the 4 Square or 8 Circle Phase Controller "Long Delay" and "Short Delay" female F connectors upon array installation.

SMALL ARRAY dimensions for maximized multi-band reception require the selection of one HIZ-DL-4-60-85L (Long) and one HIZ-DL-4-60-85S (Short), as recommended by Hi-Z for:
* 4 Square Array with element side spacing of 60 ft.
* 8 Circle Array with a diameter of 85 ft.
Overall excellent cardioid patterns are achieved for enhanced, low noise reception on all three low band bands--160, 80, and 40 meters with very good receiving results on 30 meters as well.

LARGE ARRAYS that are dedicated for ONLY 160 and 80 meters, one HIZ-DL-4-80-113L and one HIZ-DL-4-80-113S are for:
* 4 Square Array with element side spacing of 80 ft.
* 8 Circle Array with a diameter of 113 ft.
Large array spacing and longer delay cable allows the user to manipulate the achieved patterns and the resulting Receive Directivity Factor (RDF) for their desired band coverage optimization. This also requires the change of four jumpers inside the respective phase controller. See the array phase controller instructions for details on jumper settings for alternative delay lines, patterns and performance.
