Page 2: Included Materials
The DX Engineering DXE-8040-30AOK kit adds 30 meter coverage to the DX Engineering 80/40 dual band vertical antenna without giving up any existing band coverage. This kit will operate across the entire 30 meter band at full legal limit with an SWR of 1.5:1 or less and adds negligible wind loading to the antenna. - Page 3 - Figure 1 - Overall Exploded Parts Drawing - 3 -...

The black wire (23.5") has two different sized ring terminals. Take the smaller ring terminal end and loosely weave the wire through the second hole of end insulator as shown in Figure 13. Figure 13 4. Assemble the last end insulator as shown in Figure 14 using the Flex-Weave (233") wire, the black wire (#10 ring terminal end) and the stainless steel hardware Note the hex head bolt has a recessed area the head fits slightly in during assembly.
- Page 11 5. Connect the assembly from Step 4 to the lower assembly as shown in Figure 15. Install the 1" carriage bolt, flat washer, split washer and hex nut. Then slide the spring in place and use the Nyloc nut to hold the spring in place as shown. Figure 15 6.
- Page 12 Attaching the 30 meter assemblies to the DXE-8040VA-1 vertical antenna Before you start installation, measure the low SWR frequencies of your DXE-80/40VA-1 vertical antenna on each band and record those measurements. This will assure your antenna is working properly before adding the 30 meter kit and aid in making minor adjustments afterwards, if needed. The orientation of the 30 meter kit on the DXE-8040VA-1 is important.
- Page 13 3. Lower the antenna (use a support so the antenna is not laying on the ground) and loosely install the middle assembly 12-1/2" above the junction of the 2.75" and 2.5" elements as shown in Figure 18. Figure 18 4. Loosely install the upper assembly 10-1/2" below the junction of the 2.25" and 2" elements as shown in Figure 18.
