Alpha Delta Antenna Hardware Kits
Alpha Delta Antenna Hardware Kits contain one DELTA-C Center Insulator, antenna connection hardware, one model SEP arc-plug static electricity protector that is installed on the back of the DELTA-C, and two model DELTA-CIN End Insulators. These kits are a great way to build wire antennas! The antenna hardware is constructed using Alpha Delta's exclusive Model Delta-C Center Insulators and model CIN End Insulators. They're molded from Deltalloy, an extremely tough and durable plastic specifically blended to withstand sunlight and extreme weather conditions. An SO-239 connector is provided for a direct connection to the PL-259 on your coaxial cable. Or, a ladder-line balanced feedline may be connected directly to the dipole wire ends. If a balanced feedline is used with an antenna tuner in non-resonant applications, the SEP arc-plug must be removed to prevent the "false triggering" of the gas tube. The ALP-SEP arc-plug static electricity protector is a special gas tube component designed to bleed off slow-rising static electricity buildup generated by thunderstorms, high-wind driven snow, sand, or even a harmless looking cloudy day. These static charges have been measured to several thousand volts and can damage or destroy sensitive components in receivers' or transceivers' front-end circuitry. Note: When the "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information.

Alpha Delta Coaxial Switch Replacement Arc-Plugs®
Alpha Delta Coaxial Switch Replacement Arc-Plugs® are designed to reduce the hazards of lightning-induced or other high-voltage induced surges. When hit with a surge, they will short to ground, protecting your equipment, and will remain shorted and must be removed or replaced in order to continue operation. As with all lightning protection; these surge plugs will not prevent fire or damage caused by a direct lightning strike to an antenna, power lines, or other structure. Alpha Delta D4 Coaxial Switch Replacement Arc-Plugs® are direct replacements for Alpha Delta Coaxial Switch model Delta-2 and Delta-4 series switches. As when used in Alpha Delta Coaxial Switches, D4 Replacement Arc-Plugs® are rated at 1,500 watts CW and SSB PEP, ICAS, at an SWR under 2:1. Lightning surges do lots of damage annually. Don't let your sensitive Amateur Radio gear go unprotected. Order Alpha Delta Coaxial Switch Replacement Arc-Plugs® from DX Engineering!

Alpha Delta Parallel SWL Dipole Antennas
Alpha Delta Parallel SWL Dipole Antennas cover AM broadcast through 30 MHz. They provide efficient, low-noise, broadband performance for medium wave, tropical, international SW, military, government, embassy, maritime, aircraft, commercial, and utility frequencies. They feature ISO-RES inductors, parallel wire elements, and the exclusive DELTA-C center insulator with the built-in ARC-PLUG static electricity protector. The antennas utilize stainless steel hardware and 12-gauge solid copper wires. Their overall length is 80 ft. and they may be installed as dipole, inverted-vee, or full sloper antennas. These antennas can also be used with an antenna tuner as transmit antennas. Their connectors will accept either coaxial cable or balanced line and the antennas come fully assembled and ready for installation.
