DX Engineering TWIG End Fed Half Wave QRP Antenna Feedpoint Kits
DX Engineering TWIG End Fed Half Wave QRP Antenna Feedpoint Kits are a compact, essential component for building a low-power (QRP) end-fed half-wave antenna system. Perfect for portable operations and outdoor activities such as POTA® or SOTA™, this feedpoint kit simplifies setup while delivering reliable performance. The TWIG is rated for 25W SSB, 10W CW, and 5W Digital modes, delivering an SWR of less than 2:1 without an antenna tuner. At its core, the TWIG features a 49:1 transformer that matches the impedance of the user supplied half-wave element wire to 50-ohms, ensuring compatibility with most QRP transceivers. The BNC female connector pairs easily with recommended coax cables, and when the element wire is properly tuned, no external tuner is required—reducing the amount of gear you need to carry. The kit includes a built-in quick connector designed for 24/26 AWG antenna wire, making element installation fast and secure. Two end insulators and clips are also provided, ensuring reliable strain relief and easy attachment of the antenna wire in the field. Installation is quick and straightforward, allowing you to get on the air fast and start making contacts. No additional counterpoise wire is necessary; the coax cable serves that function when installed correctly. For best results, use optional 24/26 AWG wire such as CEW-VIZ24-YEL100, a high-visibility, PVC-insulated stranded copper wire. A typical setup uses a sloper configuration, with the feedpoint about 6–7 feet above ground and the wire sloping upward to 25–30 feet. Recommended coax length is 25–35 feet with BNC connectors and adding an optional DXE-LPFC-BNC Feedline Choke at the transceiver end is suggested. While the antenna supports multiple configurations, wire length will vary based on installation.

DX Engineering TWIG QRP 9:1 UNUNs
The DXE-TWIG-9-1 QRP UNUN (Unbalanced-to-Unbalanced transformer) matches a high-impedance, non-resonant end-fed/random wire antenna (33 to 84 feet long) to the 50-ohm unbalanced load required by amateur radio transceivers. The DXE TWIG-9-1 covers 1.8–30 MHz and is ideal for portable (QRP) or HOA-restricted antennas. The connector on the DXE-TWIG-9-1 is a BNC female to mate with the recommended 35 to 50 feet of coax cable, which is used as the counterpoise. In some cases, an external wide range tuner may be needed. This UNUN may not provide a perfect 1:1 SWR on all bands without an additional tuner and may experience heating at higher power due to impedance mismatches. Typically, 9:1 UNUNs are used for: • Random Wire Antenna: Long wires of specific non-resonant lengths (e.g., 29, 35.5, 41, or 71 feet) designed to avoid an electrical half-wave, or multiple of a half-wave, on any amateur band. • End-Fed Long Wire: General-purpose long wire used for wideband receiving or multiband transmitting where an antenna tuner is available. • Inverted "L" or Sloper Configuration: When these are fed as non-resonant wires rather than resonant half-wave radiators. Tips on How to Use the 9:1 QRP UNUN as a Random Wire Antenna 1. Select a "Random" Length: Do not use resonant half-wave lengths. Popular lengths that avoid resonance on amateur bands include e.g., 29, 35.5, 41, or 71 feet. 2. Connect the Antenna Wire: Attach your long wire to the element wire terminal of the UNUN. 3. Use an Antenna Tuner: Because a random wire is never perfectly resonant, you may have to use an internal or external antenna tuner to achieve a low SWR for your transceiver. 4. Placement: Mount the UNUN near the ground or on a short support and run the element wire as high and clear of obstacles as possible. The antenna shown in this manual was tested using the optional 24 or 26 AWG wire such as CEW-VIZ24-YEL100 stranded copper, PVC insulated, high visibility yellow antenna wire. The coax cable (with BNC connectors) is recommended to be 35 to 50 feet in length since the coaxial cable shield is used as the counterpoise. The antenna can be installed in different configurations. Wire lengths will vary depending on the installation and antenna design chosen. This is a low power (QRP) antenna system impedance matching UNUN which handles 25 Watts on SSB, 10 Watts on CW and 5 Watts on digital mode when the antenna SWR is less than 2:1 without the use of an antenna tuner.

DX Engineering TWIG QRP 4:1 Current Baluns
The DXE-TWIG-4-1C QRP Current Balun is designed to be used as the feedpoint of a very low power (QRP) Off Center Fed dipole (OCF) antenna. Ideal for use during outdoor adventures such as POTA® or SOTATM, or any portable operation. The TWIG-4-1C incorporates a 4:1 transformer to convert the OCF antenna impedance of 200-ohms to the desired 50-ohms to match the coaxial cable feedline. It also has a 1:1 feedline choke, to prevent current imbalance, detuning, and to help prevent the addition of unwanted noise. The connector is a BNC female and mates with the recommended coax and most low power (QRP) transceivers. When properly installed and the element wire is properly tuned, you should not need an external tuner. This reduces the need to bring more equipment than is necessary or a portable operation and provides higher efficiency of your output signal and instant band changes. The antenna shown in this manual was designed and tested using the optional 24 AWG wire such as CEW-VIZ24-YEL100 stranded copper, PVC insulated, high visibility yellow antenna wire. The BNC connectors coax cable is recommended to be at least 25 to 35 feet in length. The antenna can be installed in different configurations of wire lengths for various band selections. For example, a very common TWIG QRP OCF for 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters has one 57 ft. dipole wire and the other wire is 12 ft. See the chart in the Instruction Manual linked below for details. This is a low power (QRP) antenna system balun which handles only 25 Watts on SSB, 10 Watts on CW and 5 Watts on digital mode when antenna SWR less than 2:1, without the use of an antenna tuner.

DX Engineering TWIG End Fed Half Wave QRP Antenna Kits
DX Engineering TWIG End Fed Half Wave QRP Antenna Kits include the essential components needed to build a lightweight, low-power (QRP) end-fed half-wave antenna for portable and field operations. Ideal for activities such as POTA® and SOTA™, these kits are designed for quick deployment, efficient operation, and minimal equipment requirements. When properly assembled and tuned, TWIG End Fed Half Wave QRP antennas deliver an SWR of less than 2:1 without the need for an antenna tuner and are rated for 25 watts SSB, 10 watts CW, and 5 watts digital modes. At the heart of these kits is a 49:1 transformer that matches the high feedpoint impedance of the half-wave radiator to a standard 50-ohm coaxial feedline. The integrated BNC female connector is compatible with recommended coaxial cables and most QRP transceivers. Once the included antenna wire is properly tuned for the desired operating band, an external tuner is typically unnecessary, reducing pack weight and simplifying field operation. No separate counterpoise wire is required, as the coaxial feedline serves this function when installed correctly. To simplify assembly and deployment, the kits feature a built-in quick-connect wire terminal designed for use with the included 24 AWG antenna wire. Two end insulators and attachment clips are also included to provide secure strain relief and convenient field installation. A DX Engineering wire winder and reusable Bongo ties help keep the antenna organized and compact when stored or transported. A typical installation uses a sloper configuration, with the feedpoint positioned approximately 6 to 7 feet above ground level and the antenna wire extending upward to a height of 25 to 30 feet. For optimum performance, a 25- to 35-foot coaxial feedline with BNC connectors is recommended. An optional DXE-LPFC-BNC Feedline Choke installed at the transceiver end of the coax is also recommended to help minimize common-mode current. While the antenna can be deployed in a variety of configurations, final wire lengths may vary depending on the installation method and operating requirements. User assembly is required. Recommended tools and materials include wire cutters, a tape measure, 3/16-inch diameter rope to hang the antenna, electrical tape, a suitable throwing weight for antenna installation, and an antenna analyzer for trimming and tuning the antenna element to the desired operating band.

DX Engineering Logo UltrAtomic® Wall Clocks
DX Engineering Logo UltrAtomic® Wall Clocks feature dramatically improved reception and reliability, to automatically set and keep time, even at daylight saving time changes. Excellent readability and attractive styling make this special DX Engineering 14 inch analog clock a great addition to any Amateur Radio station, office complex, school or home. The UltrAtomic receives the enhanced phase modulated WWVB broadcast signal introduced by NIST in 2012. This advanced technology allows the radio time signal to "break through" barriers like cement walls, unlike previous PWM only Atomic clocks. This is the DX Engineering version of the La Crosse Technology wall clock that was the first on the market to be based on this enhanced broadcast, offering unparalleled reception. UltrAtomic clocks operate even in the harshest conditions, where the signal-to-noise ratio interferes with radio-controlled clock reception using the legacy AM signal broadcast. UltrAtomic technology digitally processes the received signal via an integrated circuit within the clock. It leverages the advanced modulation scheme and new data encoding. The reception reliability of the technology has been validated in the most challenging locations and scenarios and has been demonstrated successfully throughout all of North America. UltrAtomic clocks allow you to select any time zone with a custom setting, especially UTC/GMT. Now you can enjoy UltrAtomic accuracy, while viewing any time zone around the world. The phase modulated WWVB broadcast provided by the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) includes a notification for the daylight savings time transitions well ahead of when they are to occur. The UltrAtomic clock reads and stores this information and, at the appropriate instance, automatically advances the hands one hour in the spring and eleven hours in the fall (to move back one hour), even if the signal is not received on the day of the transition. * UltrAtomic time with manual set option * Barrier-resistant signal reception with dual antenna that is insensitive to orientation * Adjustable time and zone (24 hour World Time) from UTC+0h to -11h * Eco Mode extends battery life--turns second hand off from 11 pm to 5 am * Q-Mode (Quartz Mode) for manual time setting * Automatically updates for daylight saving time (with DST On/Off option) * 14 in. stainless steel frame bezel * Glass lens * Black metal hands and black numerals on white background * Low battery detection indicator--second hand stops at 6 * Powered by 2 or 4 high-quality "C" LR14 batteries (not included) for up to 3 or 6 years of operation in Eco Mode

DX Engineering MBS-4 Multi-Band Splitters
As opposed to standard four-port splitters, DX Engineering MBS-4 Multi-Band Splitters have been specially designed to pass signals from the bottom of the AM broadcast band (500 kHz) to beyond the top of the satellite radio band (2.4 GHz) and do it with low-loss. With such a wide pass-band they are very useful for implementing whole-house and commercial RF distribution networks supplying signals that are used in all types of entertainment systems. These signals could include AM/FM HD radio, VHF/UHF digital television, satellite radio and Wi-Fi. ANY signal frequency within the pass-band may be split to multiple locations! DXE-MBS-4 splitters are also designed to pass DC between their input and one of the output ports via protection diodes that prevent DC feedback. This allows powered amplifiers and antennas to receive power-feed through the splitters. RF insertion loss for these splitters is up to 12-dB. However, they may be used in tandem with wideband preamps to implement a lossless system! These splitters are not recommended for use in stand-alone satellite radio splitter configurations without additional external amplification and DC impedance terminations of unused ports. Whether you are wiring a living room, den, bedroom and sunroom, or a building with multiple offices, these DX Engineering MBS-4 Multi-Band Splitters are at the core of your signal-distribution network!

DX Engineering Band Link Kits
DX Engineering Band Link Kits (DXE-LINK-KIT) are insulators and wire clips, used to "add a band" to a portable wire antenna. These are the same band link parts as supplied with the DX Engineering Low Power Portable Dipole and Winder Kits. Band Links make manual band changes 'quick and easy' on portable 'low-to-the ground' resonant portable dipoles deployed as center-fed single support inverted-vee antennas, and on resonant end-fed antennas. Band Links are sold as a pair for a dipole. Alligator clips on the corresponding pair of Band Links are disconnected to change the dipole to the next higher band and are connected to change the resonance to the lower band. Only one link changes the band on a resonant end-fed wire. Band Links can be used to change the resonant (low SWR) frequency of a dipole or end-fed from CW to digital, and another to phone, and so on. Each DXE-LINK –KIT contains: • 2 Link Insulators – which support the wire and may be used to "break up" the wire antenna into multiband sections. • 4 Alligator Clips - two per Band Link. Two Band Links, one for each wire antenna leg, are included with the DX Engineering Low Power Portable Dipole and Winder Kit to make it a two-band antenna. Adding this second pair would make the dipole a three-band antenna, and a third pair will make the dipole a four-band resonant antenna, and so on.
