DX Engineering Radial Wire Biodegradable Anchor Pins
DX Engineering Radial Wire Biodegradable Anchor Pins are designed to keep your cables down to the ground in an Earth-friendly way. They are manufactured from recycled, bio-degradable, PLA (polylactide) resin, the color of which will vary. These biodegradable anchors are easily installed and will hold radial wires in place until lawn roots overtake them, and then disappear. They're ecologically friendly! Depending on the weather conditions, they will degrade in about a year. They don't slowly rust away like metal staples. DX Engineering Radial Wire Biodegradable Anchor Pins are intended for turf or softer ground where they may be pushed in (they feature a wide, flat head for your thumb) or lightly tapped with a tool head--NOT driven in with a hammer. Since they are a plastic-like material, they will be subject to breakage when used in rocky or hard soil or subjected to vigorous impact. Install your ground radials the easy and ecological way- with DX Engineering Radial Wire Biodegradable Anchor Pins!

DX Engineering Glass Antenna Insulators
Sometimes the oldest stuff turns out to be the best. Our exclusive DX Engineering Glass Antenna Insulators hearken back to the earliest years of "wireless" transmissions. Because Irish ship builders of the day pronounced "double" as "dooble," these insulators were once known as "glass doobies" due to their tempered-glass material and double-ended form. Glass insulators offer the highest of electrical insulation properties, strength and resilience available in any insulator of its size. There will be no signal bleed off with these little glass wonders! DX Engineering's DXE-TGI-2 end insulators are 3.69 in. long with 1.125 in. diameter double ends. Each smoothed and rounded end has a 5/16 in. (0.3125 in.) hole that will accommodate many wire and rope sizes without chafing. Their tensile strength and resistance to arcing will withstand almost any wire-antenna use within the Amateur Radio service, domestic or abroad. Since these are end insulators, they are sold as a pair. These are not toy-like models or replica insulators; these are fully functional, high strength glass insulators with excellent RF properties! But, that is not to say that they aren't gorgeous and worthy of showing off! They certainly are perfect for display as a radio room decoration or as a living area conversation piece. Very smooth and pleasing to the touch, these are attractive glass insulators that make a fantastic gift for the ham who thought he had everything! Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. In this instance, some interesting information on "Glass Doobies." Bring back a bit of the essence of the Amateur Radio of yesteryear in your wire antenna construction. These glass insulators are actually quite striking in their appearance. Order DX Engineering Glass Antenna Insulators and gain the benefits of using a material that has provided the best wire-antenna insulation for more than a century!

DX Engineering Balun Wiring Kits
DX Engineering Balun Wiring Kits are just the right parts for permanently connecting a DX Engineering Maxi-Core® 20 Balun or a legacy Comtek balun to practically any beam, Yagi, Log Periodic or rotatable dipole with stud terminals on its driven element. This wiring kit is not a bracket. This is 8 AWG tinned solid copper wire, 2 ft., and an assortment of tinned solder ring terminals to electrically connect a #10 or 1/4 inch terminal stud balun to either size two stud balanced feedpoint on antennas of several types. Wire a balun to an antenna feedpoint with the DX Engineering Balun Wiring Kits. DX Engineering Balun Wiring Kits include: - Two feet, 8-Gauge Tinned Solid-Copper Bus Wire - Four each, Ring terminal, solder, for #10 stud - Four each, Ring terminal, solder, for 1/4 in. stud - Two each, Star washers, 1/4 in. - Two each, Nyloc hex nuts. 1/4 in. for 1/4-20 balun studs Instructions for installation: 1. Determine the separated routing of the minimal wire length needed for each balun terminal to antenna terminal connection with drip loops (see 2.), no greater than 12 inches each, from the securely mounted balun to antenna feedpoint. Wires must be separated by 1/2 to 1 inch from antenna metal parts and each other. 2. Include enough wire length for a small drip loop, a downward "U" shape in the wire, to prevent rain water from running straight down into either connection. This drip loop also provides wire strain and vibration relief. 3. Cut the tinned copper wire in half and trim excess to make the two wire lengths, preferably identical. 4. Select the terminals that match the balun and the antenna feedpoint. 5. Solder the tinned ring terminals onto the tinned wire. 6. Install each completed wire assembly with the appropriate size Nyloc nut and star washer along with the hardware supplied with the balun. Attach the other end with hardware supplied with the antenna Use an open end wrench on the balun stud mount nut when tightening Nyloc nuts, and then the wing nuts, to prevent stud rotation and possible internal damage to the balun. NOTE: This 8 AWG tinned copper wire fits into the supplied ring terminals even though both the #10 and the 1/4 in. ring terminal terminals are marked 12-10 (AWG). Soldering these ring terminals onto this wire is required for a permanent connection. Only crimping will produce an insufficient connection. These balun wiring kits may be used on many manufacturers' stud terminal baluns.

BEB-3 Brackets are an insulated plate made from an extremely strong polymer which is highly UV resistant. They are pre-drilled to accept DX Engineering Saddle Clamps. So, they are ready with two pairs of holes to mount 0.750 in. tubing for the center portion of a tapered, insulated antenna element, with two SAD-075A Saddle Clamps on one side of the plate. Of the other three pairs of holes, only one pair is used for the appropriate saddle clamp on the other side of the plate, to place the assembly onto an aluminum tubing or fiberglass boom measuring 1.250 in., 1.500 in., or 1.750 in. outside diameter. BEB-3 Brackets may also be used to mount a small beam with a 0.750 in. boom to a mast with a 1.250 in., 1.500 in., or 1.750 in. outside diameter, using DX Engineering Saddle Clamps. BEB-3 Insulated Boom-to-Element Brackets are suitable to build and mount antennas for 15, 12, 10, 6 and 2 meters with reasonable wind survivability. The described assemblies are also great for making a single-band rotatable dipole. For larger antennas please see our BEB-2 Insulated Boom-to-Element Bracket. When using a BEB-3 to build a split driven element for a Yagi or a rotatable dipole, use the SEI-1 Split-Element Insert to provide the proper 0.750 in. element tubing support. The DX Engineering BEB-3 Insulated Boom-to-Element Brackets separate and insulate the element from the boom thereby requiring no element length corrections. You can cut the tubing just like the antenna design program (AO, EZNEC, etc.) tells you and it will work as well as your computer model. You may also want to use our HMS-2P Hairpin Driven Element Matching System and our Baluns to complete your Dream Beam. Don't forget to purchase a copy of DX Engineering's Yagi Mechanical to make sure your elements have the desired wind survivability.
