- Page 2 The DX Engineering DXE-AOK-17M kit adds 17 meter coverage to the Hustler BTV series of vertical antennas without giving up any existing band coverage. This kit will operate across the entire 17 meter band with an SWR of 1.5:1 or less and adds negligible wind loading to the antenna.
- Page 3 The 17m kit will attach to the BTV vertical right over the 10m trap using special clamps. The trap aluminum cover should be cleaned prior to installation using the included Scotch-Brite® pad. Assembly The 17m kit is easy to assemble. Figure 1 - Loading Coil Assembly 1.
- Page 4 Figure 3 - 17m Kit installed on a BTV The orientation of the 17m kit on the trap is important (see Figures 3 and 4). If you are using a DX Engineering Tilt-Base with your vertical, place the kit on the vertical so it does not interfere or touch the ground when the antenna is tilted-down.
- Page 5 Tuning An antenna analyzer is the best way to adjust the resonant frequency of an antenna. Measurements should be made at the antenna using a short (5 or 6 ft) piece of 50 Ohm coax between the antenna and the analyzer. If you are too close to the antenna your presence can affect the tuning, if you are too far, the coax length may act as a radial and resonate.
- Page 6 likely resonate about the same frequency in the 10 meter band and a little higher in the 15 and 20 meter (and 30 meters if installed) bands. Little to no difference is likely on 40 or 80 meters. In most cases, re-tuning to the desired frequencies for each band can be accomplished by adjusting the tubing dimensions of each section as described in the Hustler installation instructions.
- Page 7 Figure 7 - Marking the tube A good suggestion is to mark the position of the trap with a pencil before starting so that returning to the initial point will simply a matter of lining up the marks or referring to Figure 6. Always start with the 10 meter trap because any adjustment done there affects the rest of the antenna.
