DX Engineering Transceiver Amplifier Keying Cables
DX Engineering Transceiver Amplifier Keying Cables connect the "ground on transmit" or contact closure provided by the radio that is required to make an HF amplifier switch from "receive mode" to "transmit and amplify mode" when using PTT (push-to-talk), VOX or break-in CW keying. DX Engineering Transceiver Amplifier Keying Cables are made for specific transceiver models that have special DIN or mini-DIN connector accessory ports which provide the transceiver's only connections for linear amplifier keying. One type of amplifier keying cable has one RCA phono plug for the amplifier relay jack, which is all that is needed. When the transceiver PTT (push-to-talk) is keyed, the RCA plug center pin is connected to the shield (and chassis ground in most cases) to key the amp relay or its solid state keying circuit. Instead of a direct connection to the amp relay, the RCA plug may be connected to the keying input of an accessory device (DXE-KEYLINE-3, DXE-RTR-2 or DXE-NCC-2), amplifier keying interface (DXE-SV-KR or legacy Ameritron ARB-704 or KD9SV Products SV-KR) or other amp keying line interrupt device, such as a meter or an array controller. Each has a keying input and a keying output for the amplifier relay or another accessory. Another type of amplifier keying cable has two RCA phono plugs, one RED plug for the amplifier relay jack and one WHITE plug for ALC (Automatic Level Control) voltage from the amplifier. The legacy ALC connection does not need to be used with present era solid state transceivers and most modern amplifiers. ALC was required for use on transmitters with tube finals. Some modern amplifiers do not have an ALC output connector. If the amplifier does not have ALC it is okay to leave the WHITE plug disconnected. Order your DX Engineering Transceiver Amplifier Keying Cables to connect to your transceiver accessory port for keying amplifiers, sequencers, receive-transmit interfaces, buffer relays, and other accessories. NOTE: To enable the function of this keying cable, some late model Kenwood transceivers require menu activation of the amplifier keying circuit.

DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire
DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire is the same wire as used by the most successful contest stations and DX enthusiasts for their ground-mounted vertical antennas. This 16 AWG tinned solid copper wire is an extremely cost effective solution for the high-count, full-size ground radial wire systems that are required for top-performing HF vertical antenna installations. This is especially true for 4-element Four Square Array Systems, 3-element ProStack Arrays, and 2-element Dual Vertical Arrays. Why is this wire the absolute best choice for any ground-mounted vertical antenna? Because, DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire will last much longer in a variety of soil conditions as compared to bare copper, copper coated steel and aluminum wires. Unfortunately, radials deployed with those other wire types actually corrode and degrade rather quickly, but do so slowly enough that the operator may not easily perceive that degradation in terms of antenna system performance. Full radial system integrity is maintained for a much greater number of years with tinned copper wire. Depending upon soil type, installations with DXE-TCRW16 will maintain vertical antenna performance for many, many years… and even decades. DXE-TCRW16 is available in small, easy to handle spools in lengths of 500 feet (DXE-TCRW16-500), 1,000 feet (DXE-TCRW-1000), 2,500 feet (DXE-TCRW16-2500) and 5,000 feet (DXE-TCRW16-5000). NOTE: To prevent accelerated corrosion and the possibility of noise, do not use metal anchor pins (lawn staples) on Tinned Copper Radial Wire. Use only DXE-STPL-100BD Biodegradable Anchor Pins to hold down bare wire radials. DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire is the right choice for long lasting top-performance radial systems for your ground-mounted vertical antenna system.

DX Engineering RG-213U Type-N Low-Loss 50-ohm Coax Cable Assemblies
DX Engineering RG-213U Type-N Low-Loss 50-ohm Coax Cable Assemblies feature DX Engineering's high-grade 213U coaxial cable, with a very rugged, highly UV-resistant, non-contaminating Type II-A PVC jacket. These cable assemblies are ideal for all outdoor feedline applications, commonly used for HF and direct-bury installations. With heavy 12.5 AWG stranded copper center conductor, RG-213U Type-N cable assemblies are perfectly suited for long cable connections to antennas from HF equipment running at very low to high power levels. Our DXE-213U cable features a solid polyethylene dielectric that cannot absorb moisture and it withstands constant movement and flexing on tower mounted rotatable and directional beam antennas. DXE-213U is used at contest station K3LR for installation at the tower top as "rotator loop" coax for HF and VHF. It has excellent shielding with a minimum of 96 percent coverage copper braid. Regarded in the industry as the right choice for a high quality HF feedline, our 213U Coaxial Cable is custom made for DX Engineering to provide the performance and longevity you expect. DX Engineering RG-213U Type-N Low-Loss 50-ohm Coax Cable Assemblies s are terminated with high quality Type-N connectors. Our 213U DX Series cable assembly Type-N center pins are hand soldered by trained assembly techs to assure a proper connection. These Type-N cable assemblies also feature machine crimped shields, with 360 degrees of complete mechanical and electrical contact for maximum reliability. Every assembly is continuity and Hi-Pot tested and then heat-shrink weather-sealed for the ultimate service longevity. You won't find this level of cable assembly quality anywhere else! DX Engineering RG-213U Type-N Low-Loss 50-ohm Coax Cable Assemblies are the best 213/U cable assemblies available for virtually every HF antenna application, and they are available only from DX Engineering!

DX Engineering RG-8X 50-ohm Coaxial Cable Adapter Assemblies
DX Engineering RG-8X 50-ohm Coaxial Cable Adapter Assemblies feature different silver plated connectors at each end – high quality BNC and PL-259s PTFE dielectric connectors – especially useful for POTA activations and portable operations. Their machine-crimped shields feature 360 degrees of complete mechanical and electrical contact for maximum reliability. All DX Engineering cable assemblies are Hi-Pot tested and heat-shrink weather-sealed for the ultimate in service longevity. DX Engineering RG-8X 50-ohm Coaxial Cable Assemblies are the most flexible, lowest loss and highest quality coaxial cable assemblies on the market. DXE-8X cable assemblies feature a stranded copper 16 AWG center conductor, gas injected foam dielectric, braided copper shield and non-contaminating, highly water-resistant Type II-A PVC UV stable direct-bury jacket. Our DXE-8X cable assemblies are intended for HF portable applications where the visibility of short antenna cables and flexibility are desired. DX Engineering DXE-8X is the industry standard specifications black jacket coax. DXE-8X is the coax cable most often used for jumpers in the shack and for medium length cables for portable operations, offering significantly better flexibility than larger cables, excellent shielding, and lower loss than smaller RG-58 and RG-174. DXE-8X is the part number for this coaxial cable sold by the foot and it is also available in 1,000 ft. spools as DXE-8X-1000. DXE-8X Specs: Attenuation/100 ft. – Power Rating 0.65 dB @ 5 MHz – 3.0 kW 1.0 dB @ 10 MHz – 2.2 kW 1.5 dB @ 30 MHz – 1.2 kW For additional product information, please check the files in the "Documentation" section.
