(The AX1’s 20/17/15 meter radial and the AXE1 radial may both be connected to the rig at the same time.)

    Counterpoise The counterpoise (or radial) wire supplied with the basic AX1 is usable on all three covered bands (20, 17, and 15 meters). The Wires two inductors in the base unit have been adjusted to provide resonance close to the 20 meter band with this radial length.
