Additional Material Needed But Not Supplied - DX Engineering DXE-MBVE-5A Instruction Manual

Introduction
This instruction manual describes three of the optional remote tuner upgrade packages available for
the DXE-MBVE-5A multi-band vertical antenna system.
There are 3 complete DXE-MBVE-5A antenna systems for use with either the MFJ-993BRT or
MFJ-994BRT Remote Tuner. These packages include the DXE-MBVE-5A antenna.

There are two upgrade retrofit kits for existing DXE-MBVE-5/5A systems for use with either the
MFJ-993BRT or MFJ-994BRT Remote Tuner. There is also one upgrade kit that has the hardware
needed to mount the MFJ-998RT Remote Tuner that the customer already has.

There are also options available for other MFJ remote tuners allowing operation at 200, 300, 600 or
1500 Watt power levels. See the DX Engineering web site for complete details.
A complete manual including the assembly of the DXE-MBVE-5A antenna system that also
includes the information in this manual is available from DX Engineering and can be downloaded
from the DX Engineering web site at

Additional Material Needed but not Supplied:

 JTL-12555 Jet-Lube
and RF connection for Aluminum Element Sections and also used on the threads of Stainless
Steel Hardware to prevent galling (seizing) and aid in proper tightening.
The assemblies or upgrades that use the extended base tube and new base tube insulator are
basically built the same as the standard DXE-MBVE-5A which is described in greater detail in the
DXE-MBVE-5A manual which is available on-line from the DX Engineering web site at
www.DXEngineering.com. The Saf-T-Tilt™ base and the aluminum vertical elements are all the
same for all of the DXE-MBVE-5A models. The only difference is the base tube length (Short Base
tube is 14", Long Base Tube required for the remote tuners is 36") new base tube insulator and
associated hardware.
