- Page 2 The DX Engineering DXE-AOK-12M kit adds 12 meter coverage to the Hustler BTV series of vertical antennas without giving up any existing band coverage. This kit will operate across the entire 12 meter band with an SWR of 1.5:1 or less and adds negligible wind loading to the antenna.

- Page 4 Assembly Before you start installation, measure the low SWR frequencies of your Hustler BTV on each band and record those measurements. This will assure your antenna is working properly before adding the 12 meter kit, and aid in making minor adjustments afterwards, if needed. When installing stainless steel hardware, it is suggested that UMI-81343, 81464, DXE-NSBT8, NMBT8 - Never- Seez or Anti-Seize be used to prevent thread galling on stainless steel.
- Page 5 The positioning of the 12 meter kit must be such that it does not interfere with the tilting of the antenna. If you are using a DX Engineering Tilt-Base, tilt the antenna down to make installation of this kit to the Hustler BTV.
- Page 6 Connect the FLEX-WEAVE™ 12 meter wire assembly to the top bracket using the hex bolt, flat washers, star washer, split washer and nut as shown below. Final positioning of the top and bottom brackets should be done so the FLEX-WEAVE™ 12 meter wire is parallel to the Hustler BTV lower element.
- Page 7 The 12m add-on kit electrically couples to the rest of the vertical and does have some influence on the tuning of adjacent bands. If retuning is required make minor adjustments as necessary.
