Description
This assembly is a new design for the Legacy (2E, 3E and 4E) and DB style antennas which mounts the 18′ fiberglass telescoping poles directly to the reinforced plate. This greatly reduces the stress on the EHU housing and instead directly transfers the forces from the telescoping poles to the plate and therefore the boom. This assembly also comes with EHU housing flange reinforcement brackets which greatly reduces the chances of over tightening the EHU mounting screws which can crack the housing.
On DB style antennas the new reinforced DB plate will mount directly to the boom utilizing solid aluminum saddles (use your existing bolts/saddles). On Legacy style antennas (2E,3E, and 4E) the new reinforced DB plate will mount to the existing element brackets that are mounted on the boom via the 10-32 bolts that secure the EHU to the mounting plate.
This new assembly weighs just under 1.5Lbs heavier per EHU.
This kit services one EHU only. Order qty should match the number of EHU’s you have on your antenna!
Does not include aluminum saddles or bolts for mounting the plate to the boom as this is antenna specific. Does include new Nylock nuts for the aluminum saddle bolts.
This kit can now be used on all antenna’s besides Verticals. Does not work for the 49ft element on the DB36 or DB42.
This kit is designed specifically for the black housing EHU’s. It will work with the grey/green 40m EHU’s (except early DB36/MonstIR Driven units). When using this kit on the grey/green 40m EHU’s you will need to slightly modify the Top EHU Flange Reinforcement Bracket. This kit will NOT FIT the rectangular 20m grey/green EHU’s.
