The photo shows two DX Engineering and two PolyPhaser lightning protectors installed on a DXE-UCGC-Z mounted to a 5/8 in. diameter ground rod. Other lightning protection products can also be mounted, such as the DXE-IS-RCT Control Line Protector and Alpha Delta Lightning Protectors. Additionally, a solid copper strap from the station grounding bus bar may also be sandwiched between the copper plates of this clamp and the ground rod (not shown). An anti-seize compound such as JTL-12555 Jet Lube SS-30 Pure Copper Anti-Seize must be used on the threads to prevent galling or seizing of stainless steel hardware. All connections must be generously coated with a conductive joint compound to prevent moisture penetration and enhance conductivity. Properly weatherproofing coaxial cables and lightning protectors is important to ensure the longevity of the connection and maintain optimal performance. Prior to attaching the lightning protectors, install the coaxial cables to the lightning protectors and weather seal the PL-259 connectors using TES-2155 Temflex Rubber Sealing Tape with an overwrap of TES-06132 3M Super 33+ Vinyl Tape or 3M Scotch Super 88 Premium Vinyl Tape (TES-06143). These easily removable connector sealing tapes are now available in kits. The lightning protector bodies are not weatherproof and it is suggested to use a DX Engineering Weatherproofing Kits to permanently cover the body of the protectors. Some users have also suggested covering the entire assembly with a plastic food container or plastic trash bin As with all electronic equipment, take proper safety considerations. For example: Do not install if there is a storm anywhere in your area. Do not adjust or touch the grounding system equipment when there is a storm anywhere in your area. Make sure all power is removed before making any adjustments or working on any ground system or grounding components. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information.

The rails serve as handles at the front, flared outward to retain normal access to the controls. Their curved shape at the back panel makes it easier to slip the transceiver into a backpack, and they are ideal for POTA activations as well as casual portable activities. Radio Side Rails feature the appropriate cutouts for ventilation and connections, and specialized contours that facilitate quick and easy hook and loop strap mounting of an automatic antenna tuner or other accessory. Each kit includes four M4 thumb screws and four M4 Hex Socket Head Screws and a hex wrench, so Radio Side Rail attachments can be temporary or long-term. Extra protection is provided by the included eight rubber bumpers that are user installed into the four recessed holes on the inside surfaces of each side rail before attachment to the radio. NOTE: The torque specification for the M4 screws and thumb screws is a maximum of 10 inch-pounds. It is crucial not to exceed this specification, and use only the provided fasteners, as they have been specifically selected to prevent internal damage to the transceiver.

DX Engineering Super Duty Saddle Clamps
DX Engineering set new standards over ten years ago with the introduction of the industry's best clamps for mounting antennas and element tubing. DX Engineering Super Duty Saddle Clamps are available to fit 2.00, 2.50 or 3.00 inch OD tubing with ultimate gripping power. Commercial and industrial engineers and installation technicians all over the world have discovered a diverse range of applications for DX Engineering Super Duty Saddle Clamps. Super Duty Saddle Clamps are designed to be used where maximum torque handling is required on aluminum, steel or stainless steel tubing. Conceived for use by builders of large and heavy Yagi antennas and Log Periodic arrays, these clamps are made in sizes that securely fit the outside diameter of tubing for mounting to a flat plate or surface. Their wider gripping surface equals superior clamping power! Perfect for antenna construction and mounting, or wherever standard U-bolt saddle clamps and other torque-control products have proven inadequate, Super Duty Saddle Clamps provide maximum grip on booms, masts and element tubing. Unlike stamped or machined-type clamps, Super Duty clamps are cast from a rugged aluminum that grips tubing with a special textured surface and are sized for an incredibly secure fit that resists torque, wind and weather. Super Duty Saddle Clamps include two cast aluminum saddles (two halves) and a stainless steel reinforcement plate for high strength and superior corrosion resistance. Due to the wide diversity of clamping applications where Super Duty clamps are beneficial, mounting hardware is NOT included. However, a complete line of Armor-Coated and Stainless Steel Hex Bolt Hardware Sets are available for top performance in most mounting applications. Click "More Detail" to see additional information.
