American Beauty Soldering Tool Parts and Components
If American Beauty's soldering tools were of typical quality, then they wouldn't offer an extensive list of soldering tool parts and components. In fact, their tools are designed to withstand the stress of production-line usage in the most difficult and rigorous industrial environments. However, as those familiar with soldering are well aware, soldering tools require regular maintenance and the occasional replacement of consumable parts. Historically, soldering-tool manufacturers had whole departments set up to service tools for their customers. As budgets tightened and these departments were eliminated, tools that were meant to last a decade or more were tossed in the trash, just like the cheap imports. American Beauty soldering tools were designed from the beginning to be serviceable! Their heating elements, connectors, handles, cord sets, foot switches, electrodes, and many other kinds of parts are replaceable. American Beauty even offers Maintenance kits and instructions on how to care for, and extend the life of, their tools! To save money on tools, you need to buy a quality tool that's right for the job...as well as serviceable. American Beauty soldering tool parts and components are now available from DX Engineering and will provide the means for you to keep your soldering tools working (and in great shape) for a long, long time!

DX Engineering Pretuned Quarter-Wave Phased Array Cables
DX Engineering Pretuned Quarter-Wave Phased Array Cables are ready to go into your phased array for 80 or 40 meters. These RG-11U coaxial cable assemblies are electronically tuned during production to 3650 kHz and 7100 kHz, the two most popular phased array frequencies. Pretuned Quarter-Wave Phased Array Cables ensure optimum pattern control and gain from your phased antenna array. They are available individually, in pairs and in four-packs, all terminated with soldered silver-plated PL-259s. These cable assemblies are exactly as required for many 80 and 40 meters phased arrays including Comtek Hybrid Four Square Arrays, DX Engineering TFS4 Four Square Arrays, as well as DX Engineering Dual Vertical Arrays. DX Engineering Pretuned Quarter-Wave Phased Array Cables are made from the highest quality waterproof PE jacketed, direct-burial RG-11/U 75-ohm low-loss foam coaxial cable. They are called "phasing feed-lines" because they are one quarter wavelength long electrically, which differs from the free-space dimension by the velocity factor of the cable. This RG-11U coaxial cable is manufactured to DX Engineering specifications, with a nominal velocity factor of 0.82. That means they're the right physical length to allow for easy burial and routing from the center-mounted array phasing unit to the base of each vertical element. Maximum performance is achieve with properly installed phased arrays, including ground-mounted base-fed full-size quarter-wave elements with free-space array dimensions and complete, interconnected ground radial wire systems. The electrical dimensions of phased array transmission cables are critical to system performance. Each of our cable assemblies is hand crafted and electronically tuned at DX Engineering. Eliminate the trouble and concern of trying to tune your own cables and order a set of DX Engineering Pretuned Quarter-Wave Phased Array Cables. NOTE: Custom tuned phased cables for all other frequencies in each Amateur band are also available. See DX Engineering Phased Array Quarter Wave Tuned Cables.

DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire Kits
DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire Kits include plentiful quantities of biodegradable staples and tinned crimp ring terminals that are easily soldered. Along with spools of the same wire as used by the most successful contest stations and DX enthusiasts for their ground-mounted vertical antennas, these kits will help your antenna system achieve optimal performance. The 16 AWG tinned solid copper wire in these kits provide 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. Ground wire radials do not need to be any specific length because the earth detunes them. Fill your ground-mounted vertical space with radials that run out from the antenna feedpoint in all possible directions, as far as they can go, up to about one-quarter wavelength on the lowest frequency. Even radials that are all about one-eighth wavelength long on the lowest frequency band are just fine for multi-band verticals over reasonably conductive soils. Use longer radials on lossy soils with sand and rocks. In most cases, a greater number of short ground radials will provide greater efficiency and stronger signals than is achieved with a few long radials. DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire Kits are available in four sizes: Shorter spool kits, 500 ft. and 1,000 ft., are perfect for the single HF ground-mounted vertical. Longer spool kits, 2,500 ft. and 5,000 ft., are intended for 2-element Dual Vertical Arrays, 3-element ProStack Arrays, and 4-element Four Square Array Systems. Each kit has the appropriate number of biodegradable staples and tinned crimp ring terminals. 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 or aluminum wires. Radials deployed with those other wire types actually corrode and degrade rather quickly. Unfortunately, they do so slowly enough that the operator does not easily perceive that degradation in terms of antenna system performance. With Tinned Copper wire, full radial system integrity is maintained for a greater number of years. Depending upon soil type, installations with DXE-TCRW16 will maintain vertical antenna performance for many, many years… and even decades. NOTE: To prevent accelerated corrosion and the possibility of noise, DO NOT use metal anchor pins (lawn staples) on Tinned Copper Radial Wire. These kits contain only the DXE-STPL-100BD Biodegradable Anchor Pins to hold down bare wire radials. Biodegradable staples allow easy installation of radial wires and will disperse in a couple years, after they are no longer needed, making them site friendly. Biodegradable staples work best in soft ground where they may be pushed or lightly tapped into the ground. Since they are a lacto-resin material they are subject to breaking in rocky or hard soil and are not intended to be hammered. DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire kits are the right choice for long lasting top-performance radial systems for your ground-mounted vertical antenna system.

One end of the cable features an interlocking weather-sealed 4-pin DXE-LP20-F female connector that mates with the RT4500HD rotator pigtail male connector. The 4-pin DXE-LP20-M cable mount male connector on the opposite end of this extension cable is intended to be connected to the controller pigtail. The DXE-LP20-F Rotator Control Line cable-mount female connector supplied with the RT4500HD, along with any convenient length of DXE-CW1812OR Heavy-Duty Spec Rotator Cable (sold separately), can be used to make a permanent pigtail with appropriate ring terminals for the screw terminal connections on the rotator controller. The use of the pigtail and this Rotator Control Extension Cable with mating connectors supports easy disconnection of the controller for additional surge protection and for simplified equipment repositioning. In this arrangement, the female receptacle connectors are appropriately used to supply power. Cable mounted male connector exposed pins are never energized when they are disconnected from their mate, thereby eliminating an accidental short circuit to ground. NOTE: At the appropriate point along the run, this cable may be cut, split, prepared and terminated for connection to a grounded surge protection device. Control Line Surge Protection, such as the DXE-CLTB-M or DXE-IS-RCT, is recommended to be installed at the grounding point of the tower base.
