DXE-RADW  - 500K or 1000K  Radial Wire Kits and Components

 

To achieve optimal performance with a ground-mounted vertical, install as many radials as possible. These bulk radial wire kits 
use insulated wire that is UV resistant, hard to see and lays down easily, unlike the wire that is commonly available at the big box 
stores. It will last much longer in contact with soil than bare wire. 
The DXE-RADW- 500K or 1000K kit provide everything you will need to build the perfect radial system!

DXE-RADW-500KBD or 1000KBD - Bulk Radial Wire Kits and Components 

To achieve optimal performance with a ground-mounted vertical, install as many radials as possible. These bulk radial 
wire kit use insulated wire that is UV resistant, hard to see and lays down easily, unlike the wire that is commonly 
available at the big box stores. It will last much longer in contact with soil than bare wire.  The biodegradable anchors 
allow easy installation of radial wires, and will degrade and disappear in a year or so when they are no longer needed.  
The DXE-RADW-500 or 1000KBD kit provide everything you will need to build the perfect radial system!

DXE-RADW-20RT/-32RT/-65RT Pre-Assembled, Radial Wire, w/ 1/4" ring Terminals, 20 Pack

 

The DXE-RADW Radial Wire Kits include the highest quality 14 gauge stranded copper wire with a relaxed black PVC insulation 
for easy installation of your radial system.  They allow fast and easy installation of your radial ground system, and permit you to mix 
and match different length to fit the available space. The stranded wire and relaxed insulation mean that the wire 
will lay flat as you place it on the ground - easy to install! The twenty pre-cut radial wires include 1/4" ring 
terminals professionally crimped on one end for quick and easy attachment to the radial plate.  These Radial Wire 
Kits are designed for users of vertical antenna systems which have the need for a high quality radial system for 
optimum antenna performance. The 1/4" ring terminals are machine crimped for maximum grip.  Soldering is not 
required for strength, but is recommended if installed in corrosive environments such as salt spray.
