DX Engineering 160 Meter THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas
DX Engineering 160 Meter THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas are high-performance antennas specifically designed for use on Top Band. You will achieve the strongest possible presence at your power level and be competitive with a 160 meter vertical monoband antenna that is only 55 feet tall! A custom-designed capacity hat system allows you to get on 160 meters with unparalleled performance. Wires and ropes have been accentuated in our product image for your viewing clarity. They are much less visible in an actual installation with minimal visual impact for such a large antenna. DX Engineering 160 Meter THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas are tunable with an impressive 40 kHz bandwidth. This means that operation on the CW DX frequencies and DX Phone frequencies are within the range of most internal tuners - no physical changes to the antenna are necessary. DX Engineering DXE-160VA-1, made with sectional aluminum tubing, is a 55-foot high Monoband Vertical Antenna system with a massive 3-inch OD base section. Included with this antenna system is a rugged, patented* stainless steel pivot fixture for ease of raising, lowering and tuning adjustments. Engineered with 6061-T8 and 6063-T832 corrosion-resistant aluminum tubing, stainless steel mounting brackets and stainless steel hardware, this antenna is very durable and attractive. Why Does This Antenna Perform So Well for Its Height? The top capacity hat is large enough that the current along the radiator is almost constant. Typical shortened verticals for this band, with smaller top-hats, have currents that vary along the length and end up producing much less signal strength. This also works in the receive mode to let you hear weaker signals, although at this frequency range dedicated receiving antennas are almost a must. See DX Engineering's full line of Receive Antennas and Array Systems. DX Engineering 160 Meter THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas feature: * High Efficiency Design * 5 kW SSB and CW rated * Unparalleled reliability * Custom designed capacity hat engineered for top performance * DX Engineering Adjustable Matching Network configures the lowest SWR * Broad 2:1 SWR bandwidth - 40 kHz - CW + DX Phone * Lowest possible take-off angle reduces domestic QRM signals * Easy tilt up and down-- Unique fold-over antenna mount features DX Engineering's patented pivoting fixture, *U.S. Patent Number 8,130,168 * High power handling and high strength, UV protected EXTREN® insulators * Ultra-rugged construction starts with 3 inch OD Aircraft Grade heavy wall tubing * Withstands steady-state winds in excess of 50 mph The optional DXE-VRW-1 Manual Winch for easy one-person raising and lowering of the antenna is available from DX Engineering. You can move the DXE-VRW-1 winch between similar antennas in a multi-antenna installation. This antenna system requires the installation of a heavy duty mounting pipe set in concrete. Specifically, 3 in. OD high strength galvanized steel tubing with 0.250 in. minimum wall thickness and 7 ft. (84 in.) minimum length, which is available from DX Engineering; part number DXE-VGMT-3CG. A customer supplied 2-1/2 in. Schedule 80 pipe that has an outside diameter of 2.875 in. is also suitable. About 36 in. of the mounting pipe should extend above the concrete. Depth of the mounting hole and amount of concrete is dependent on local soil type, condition and antenna guying. THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas require a good ground radial system. We recommend a minimum of 32 radials, 65 ft. long, but more radials that are all longer will be more efficient for better signals. Note: For additional information, please look at the files under the "Documentation" tab. Do you want a great Top Band signal? If so, then try one of these DX Engineering 160 Meter THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas!

DX Engineering Skylark Dual-Band Yagi Antennas
DX Engineering Skylark™ Dual-Band Yagi Antennas cover 17 and 12 meters and have no moving parts, support instant band changes, have no UV challenges, and no antenna-related lightning issues! Skylark™ antennas require no tuning and offer an SWR of less than 1.3:1 over the entire width of both bands. DX Engineering's Skylark™ utilizes aluminum and stainless steel construction, operate from a single feed line, and have a 90 mph wind survival rating. At only 38 lbs., Skylark™ antennas are light enough to be easily installed. These antennas are supplied complete with all mounting hardware for a 2 in. mast. Their stainless steel U-bolts and unique boom to mast mounting system make for very easy installation. Check these DX Engineering Skylark™ features: * Gain on 17 meters: 7.95 dBi * Gain on 12 meters: 7.75 dBi * Front to back on 17 meters: 21 dB * Front to back on 12 meters: 24 dB * 16 ft. boom * Wind loading: 6.5 square feet * Longest element is 27 ft., 8 in. * Turning radius is 16 ft. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. These Skylark™ antennas are a perfect match for stacking with any classic tri-bander. Your tri-bander would support 20, 15, and 10 meters, while the Skylark™ adds 17 and 12 meters. They are also a perfect companion for DX Engineering Skyhawk™ Tri-Band Yagi Antennas. Whatever antenna your tower currently supports, one of these DX Engineering Skylark™ Dual-Band Yagis from DX Engineering will be a worthwhile addition to your antenna farm!

DX Engineering 2 x 8 Remote Antenna Smart Two Radio Switch System
DX Engineering 2 x 8 Remote Antenna Smart Two Radio Switch System, model DXE-RRMX2X8, is a packaged combination of one DXE-RR2X8B Two-Radio, Eight Port Remote Switch, one DXE-MX2X8 Interface Unit and two DXE-CC-8A Control Consoles. Each control console (A and B) can select one of 7 or 8 positions available. When one console has one particular position selected, the other console is locked out of that position - first come, first served. Providing manual SO2R functionality for two-radio selection of eight antenna systems from 100 kHz through 54 MHz, the DXE-RRMX2X8 Smart System offers virtually no loss across HF and excellent low-loss performance on six meters (less than 0.16 dB of loss at 50 MHz). The RR2X8 dual star-pattern arrangement of 24 internal relays achieves vastly improved port-to-port isolation, very low SWR and excellent power handling over conventional remote coax switches, providing connection of eight SO-239 antenna output ports to either the A (master) or B (slave) SO-239 input ports. The DXE-RRMX2X8 system also uses removable screw terminal plugs for the control cables. The removable plugs greatly simplify installation by eliminating the need for soldering. Disassembly is not required for control wiring access. The DXE-RRMX2X8B also offers the following features: * RF Shielded Weatherproof Housings - unique protection * Excellent Port-to-Port Isolation; typically greater than 70 dB at 30 MHz * Ports not selected are grounded * High-RF tolerant UHF connectors * Enclosed 16 ampere RF relays * Safe 12 volt DC relay operation * MOVs for surge protection on control lines * RF bypass capacitors * Includes two DXE-SSVC-2P Stainless Steel V-Clamps for mounting * The DXE-MX2X8 interface unit interfaces between the DXE-RR2X8 and the two DXE-CC-8A control consoles for seamless operation Each of the two DXE-CC-8A Control Consoles require 12V DC nominal input, have LED port selection indicators and provide the BCD outputs to the DXE-MX2X8 interface unit. Specifications of the DXE-RRMX2X8 2 x 8 Remote Antenna Smart Two Radio Switch System: * Frequency Coverage: 100 kHz to 54 MHz * Power Rating: 6 kW ICAS all modes, 4 kW CCS all modes, under 2:1 SWR * Control Voltage: 10-14V DC at 100 mA per port * Port-to-Port Isolation: >70 dB below 30 MHz, >60 dB below 60 MHz * Ports Not Selected: Are Grounded * Loss: <0.3 dBm below at 52 MHz * Impedance: 50 ohms * Control Cable Requirement: Two ten conductor cables (DXE-CW9S) * Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. * Important Note regarding DX Engineering Protection Plans and Kit Combo Contents NOTE: Protection plans cannot be purchased for combination packages or on applicable devices after shipment.
