*Saddle clamp to mount the DX Engineering Radial Plate to a ground mounted pipe is sold separately.

Don't forget to order the correct bulkhead or SO-239 connector!  The coaxial cable shield must be securely connected to the radial plate to handle RF ground current.

The DX Engineering Radial Plate is meant for those of you that have or are building a quarter wave vertical antenna and who want an easy, neat and effective way to connect those essential radial wires and the coax to your vertical antenna for the lowest takeoff angle and strongest signals.

Why do you need radial wires when the antenna manufacturer says just hook up to a ground rod? For an easy to understand explanation please read, how just a few radials can do wonders for your signal by WB2WIK/6.

This plate will work perfectly with most commercially available vertical antennas such as the Hustler BTV series (4BTV thru the 6BTV), the SteppIR (BiggIR or SmallIR) or one of your own construction.

The DX Engineering Radial Plate has a number of advantages over the other plates on the market:

First, the DX Engineering Radial Plate will attach easily and rigidly to a 4x4 or 6x6 wooden post using simple wood screws, a steel or aluminum pipe,(up to 2.0 in. outside diameter) using one of our saddle clamps, a fence post or whatever you have supporting your vertical.

You will find the  DXE-SAD-175A, or DXE-CAVS-1P saddle clamps make it easy to attach the antenna and the radial plate to a vertical piece of 1.75 in. O.D. electrical conduit, which you have driven or cemented into the ground. If, you have a 1.75 in. O.D. pipe in the ground you can use either of these two clamps. If, you have a pipe whose O.D. is less than 1.75 in. then the V-clamp saddle clamp which fits anything from .50 in. O.D. to 1.75 in. O.D. is recommended.  For 2 in. O.D. tube or 1-1/2 inch (1.900 in. O.D.) pipe, use the DXE-SAD-200A saddle clamp. 

Second, this plate actually has a place where you can attach your coax! What a concept! The plate assembly has been drilled for the readily available, optional SO-239 Chassis Mount and Bulkhead Fittings.  This is a MUST item for proper handling of RF ground current!

If you are going to be using either a Hustler or other brands of commercially available verticals, this is how you use a Bulkhead Fitting as a pass thru for your coax connection on the way to the antenna from the Radial Plate. This will ground your coax to the radial plate before it goes to the antenna. The radials in the pictures will grow into the grass and become invisible. We used red wires to illustrate the principle. You should probably use green or black.

If you are going to be using a Home Brew vertical using aluminum tubing, then use a genuine Amphenol SO-239 panel mount connector complete with the correct Stainless Steel attaching hardware. Either the Standard (DXE-83-1R-KIT) or High-Power Teflon style (DXE-83-798-KIT) kits will work.

Regardless of how you do it, it is imperative that your coax be grounded to the radials to complete the circuit for your radial current.

Third, the DX Engineering Radial Plate is laser cut from tough stainless steel so that it has smooth edges, won’t corrode and will always look good. You will be proud of how good your installation looks.

Fourth, it is square. Why? Because a square has more lineal distance around it than the round plates that you usually see. This allowed us to put 60 holes in it; use larger bolts for more clamping power and still not crowd them together. So, if you want to go all-out with 60-120 radials you will able to put them on easily. Remember: The more current that flows in through your radials and then through this plate, the stronger your signal is going to be and the more DX stations that you are going to hear. So, put on as many radials as you can.

Fifth, we supply the correct Stainless Steel bolts, nuts, star washers, flat washers and lock washers to attach the radials. Since we don’t know how many radials that you want to attach (some experts suggest at least 32 radials) we include the first 20 sets of hardware with the plate. This means that with the supplied hardware that you can attach 20 radials or double them up and attach 40. If you want to attach more, then just order additional sets of radial plate hardware. (DXE-RADP-1HWK).

Why a 1/4 in. bolts and not the cheaper #10 that others use? Because the ¼ inch bolt has a lot more clamping force for the best connection possible. The Stainless Steel external star washers that we supply have about twice the area of even the best star washers for the smaller bolts. You want the best connection that you can get here. If you are serious about making your vertical work then you want this first class radial plate hardware from DX Engineering.

Also, DX Engineering now carries pre-cut radial wire kits for the 10, 15, 20, 40 and 80m bands complete with connector hardware. We also carry Bulk Radial Wire Kits for those that wish to build their own radial system. Our kits include 500 or 1000 ft spools of wire, lawn staples to hold the wire down and the lugs necessary to attach the radials to the radial plate.

DX Engineering 제품은 ground vertical 용으로 그라운드 접지할때 유용한데 우리의 경우는 elevated vertical 형태로 셋업 예정이라 적용하기 어렵네요...밴드별 radial은 2개 사용시 90%효과로 만족해야 하고 여의치 않으면 범용 radial 3-4개 만으로도 적정 효과 나오기도 합니다. HL2WP
