Butternut HF2V - Radial Plate Connection Details

- 8 -
NOTE: Attach radials and ground to tube with insulator (A) using the remaining # 8 hardware on
the ground side (lower side - black lead) of the (R1) coaxial cable connection.
A stainless steel Radial Plate DXE-RADP-3 is an ideal option for the radial system that is needed
for the Butternut
®
HF2V vertical antenna. The radial plate can be set on the ground. When the
antenna is installed, run a short piece of copper strap from the radial plate to the lower connection of
coil Q mounted on tube (A) of the HF2V or the optional BUT-MPS Mounting Post Sleeve. In either
case, a ground wire attachment from the lower tube (A) to the Radial Plate should be made to
ensure a good RF connection. The DXE-RADP-3 has a mounting area for an optional dual SO-239.
This is can used with a short connecting coax cable from the (R1) Feedpoint Connector to the
Radial Plate for the Butternut 2-HF Verticals and makes for an easy, effective connection to your
radial system.
