HY-GAIN DX-88 8-band vertical antenna HF (80/40/30/20/17/15/12/10)
The DX-88 offers coverage on all HF amateur bands. The key design feature that makes the DX-88 so flexible are the adjustable capacitors that eliminate many of the tuning issues with other verticals. They can even be tuned from the ground 80 and 40 meters without having to lower the antenna. The DX-88 wields maximum legal power in all bands, features low-loss traps and has a low radiation angle for good DX performance. The self-supporting DX-88 comes with stainless steel hardware for long-term reliability and will withstand 75 mph winds without damage. Any vertical antenna works best with a ground system, and the DX-88 is no exception. Surprisingly, good performance can be expected with just one ground rod, but optional radial ground sets (the GRK-88 and roof radio kits (the RRK-88) are available for maximum performance. The DX- 88 is supplied with a detailed manual in English. There is also an optional 160 meter add-on kit not included (the KIT-160-88). The 160 meter add-on kit should be used only with a ground mount.
