DX Engineering XB-5 Hexx Beam HF Antenna
The DX Engineering XB-5 Hexx Beam is a lightweight directional five-band HF antenna for the 20, 17, 15, 12 and 10 Meter bands that is ideal for permanent or temporary installations. What are the benefits of this oddly shaped HF beam antenna? There are many, such as its small turning radius and full legal-limit power handling on all bands. But the most important are that the XB-5 Hexx Beam receives signals very well and transmits RF very efficiently. Its special configuration of full-size wire elements reject noise so more signals are heard. Months of development have culminated in this advanced antenna design for easier assembly, improved SWR and better bandwidth while maintaining excellent front-to-back performance. The DX Engineering XB-5 is our best Hexx Beam to date. DXE-XB-5 is the complete HF antenna package of specialized DX Engineering XB-5 Hexx Beam components; some are new and pre-assembled. These essential components include the patented* Hexx Hub and the Stainless Steel and PTFE Rigid Flat Feeder which is fully balanced with the Maxi-Core® 20 1:1 Current Balun and Mount. Also included are the all-new Heavy-Duty "Ice" Spreader Support Ropes with thimbles and stainless steel carabiners, better fiberglass Center Post and Spreaders, the Heavy-Duty Mast Mount, newly configured Element Wire Kits with the unique DX Engineering Wire Guides and innovative Element Spacer Insulators. The DX Engineering XB-5 Hexx Beam design has a number of important advantages over other Hex Beams or a mini-Yagi: - New, easy and faster assembly - fewer parts to speed completion of the antenna project - Pre-made 4.4 mm heavy duty "ice" support ropes with thimbles and stainless steel carabiners - High CMI Balun (1:1 5kW) and Mounting Bracket included - New Heavy-duty Mast Plate with DXE Saddle Clamps - Strong fiberglass without slits - Pre-sized and pre-drilled element spacer insulators designed for simple antenna assembly and tuning adjustment - Improved SWR band coverage - Small turning radius - the XB-5 Hexx Beam has a turning radius of 11' - Gain - 5 dBi (3 dBd), depending on band - similar to 2 element Yagi, far exceeding the performance of multi-band mini-beams - Front-to-Back – greater than 20 dB, depending on band - Wind balanced - Hexx symmetry reduces torque on the rotator - Light weight – about 25 lbs. fully assembled - Wind load – only 5 square feet wind surface - Can be turned with a light duty rotator - Performs well at low heights - good results at 25 to 35 feet above ground - Handles full legal limit power – no power restriction as on competing antennas - Low Noise results - approaches performance of closed loop antennas - Full length HF antenna elements - no lossy coils or traps - Five-Band Stainless Steel/PTFE Rigid Feeder System – balanced for best pattern - Requires no matching network - direct single 50 ohm coax feed The DX Engineering XB-5 Hexx Beam is one of the best performance values on the market for a directional HF antenna. *(US Patent No. 8,669,911, US Patent No. D 624,060, British Patent No. GB248003 B)

Times Microwave Systems® Bulk Coaxial Cables
Times Microwave Systems Bulk Coaxial Cables are recognized as superior RF cable products. The standard Times Microwave LMR® is a UV-resistant polyethylene jacketed cable designed for 20-year service in outdoor use. Depending upon size, LMR® cable has a solid copper or copper clad solid aluminum center conductor. Their bending and handling characteristics are significantly better than air-dielectric and corrugated hard line cables. LMR-DB® cable has a waterproofing compound to prevent moisture intrusion after a minor abrasion. Times Microwave Systems EZ Series and TC Series connectors are suitable for use on standard LMR® and LMR-DB® cables. Times Microwave Systems LMR® UltraFlex (UF) cables have a stranded bare copper center and a rubber jacket (black thermoplastic elastomer) designed for repeated bending. Times Microwave TC Series crimp connectors are designed for use on LMR® UltraFlex cables. LMR®'s RF shielding is typically 50 dB greater than standard coax. The copper shield and multi-ply bonded foil outer conductor is rated conservatively at greater than 90 dB. That's better than 180 dB isolation between two adjacent cables. A wide variety of connectors are available for LMR cables, including all common interface types, reverse polarity, and a choice of solder or non-solder center pins. Most LMR connectors employ crimped outer attachment using standard hex-crimp methods. Times Microwave Systems is a premier supplier of coaxial cable products worldwide. Only Times offers a range of products specifically developed to perform as needed in the most diverse range of environments. Times Microwave Systems has over 60 years of experience in building the highest-quality cables. Order LMR® coaxial cables from DX Engineering and put Times Microwave Systems Bulk Coaxial Cables to work for you! LMR® is a registered trademark of Times Microwave Systems.
