- Alpha Antenna HOA Buster Antenna Matching Unit: This is an innovative solution for operators seeking a stealthy, tuner-free antenna system in restrictive environments. Designed to transform existing gutters and downspouts into efficient radiators, the HOA Buster covers HF, VHF, UHF, GMRS, and CB frequencies, including 80-10 meters, 2 meters, 70cm, and 900 MHz (gutter and environment dependent). The HOA Buster features an SO-239 RF connector and is rated for up to 250 watts PEP SSB, 125 watts CW, and 25 watts Digital/AM/FM modes. For deployments where gutters or ground connections are unavailable, an optional 60-foot end-fed HF element enables portable operation in locations such as beaches, mountains, or parks.
- REZ Antenna Systems XFORM 4:1 UNUN: This modular impedance-matching system designed for the REZ Scout system expands its capabilities beyond traditional quarter-wave verticals and half-wave dipoles. It integrates seamlessly with the Scout XF base and supports legacy Scout bases via a jumper connection. The XFORM enables over 30 potential antenna deployment options when combined with future 9:1 and 49:1 transformer modules, which are currently in development. The unit handles up to 200 watts PEP SSB and 75 watts Digital (50% duty cycle) and measures 5.5 inches in length with a maximum diameter of 2.5 inches.
- DX Launcher One-Shot Wire Antenna Slingshot: This device is engineered specifically for getting fishing line into trees quickly, accurately, and reliably. Unlike traditional pouch-and-band designs, it uses a durable rubber bag rated for 300-plus launches and a precision one-ounce weight to deliver repeatable shots out to 100 feet. Designed to pair with the DX Reel System, the One-Shot lets you launch, reel, and repeat without changing tools.
It includes:
- One-Shot Slingshot body
- DX Reel System with 350 feet of 100-pound test 4x braided fishing line
- Rubber launch bag (installed) plus one spare bag
- Three one-ounce precision weights
- Quick-Start guide
Safety & Legal
- Always inspect the launch bag and hardware before use.
- NEVER aim toward people, animals, vehicles, or power lines.
- Wear eye and hearing protection during operation.
Disclaimer: Slingshot use may be restricted in some states or municipalities. Buyer is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws before purchase, possession, or use. Must be 18 or older to purchase. DX Launcher and affiliates assume no liability for misuse or illegal operation. By purchasing or using this tool, you agree to use it safely and solely for launching lines for ham radio antenna work.

- Chelegance WV-601 Aluminum All Band Passive Loop Antenna: This loop antenna provides low-noise, directional receive coverage across all frequencies from 0-999 MHz. This broadband antenna is passive, meaning it doesn’t require power in order to operate. It features reception across the Long Wave (144-288KHz), Medium Wave (540-1700KHz), Short Wave (2.3-30MHz), FM Broadcast (64-108MHz), VHF Air band (118-137MHz), VHF (140-380MHz), UHF (380-512MHz) and the UHF Public Service bands (770-860MHz), as well as everything in between. In addition to the broadband receive, this loop antenna can be used for transmitting on the 2M and 70cm bands at 10 watts or less.
- 12 Volt Power PS-30 Compact Power Supply: This lightweight (3.30 pounds; 5.10″ W x 2.40″ H x 7.30″ D) desktop power supply is built for performance and versatility. It delivers a 30-amp surge and 25-amp continuous DC output at 13.8VDCs, making it ideal for powering HF, VHF, UHF, GMRS, and commercial two-way radios, as well as most 12-volt lights and equipment. For easy connectivity, the PS-30 features two front-mounted genuine Anderson Powerpole® connectors and rear-mounted ¼-inch binding posts. It features an AC input range of 100-130VAC (60Hz) and uses a dual cooling system that combines natural convection airflow with a temperature-controlled variable speed fan.
- Bioenno Power 160Wh Portable Power Station: This power station provides a 160 Watt-hour energy capacity in a lightweight, 3.5-pound design, making it perfect for field operations and solar integration. An upgrade from the legacy BPP-120, the BPP-160 offers expanded functionality with dual AC outlets, three DC outputs, and solar-ready capability.
Pair it with the Bioenno BSP-28 Foldable Solar Panel (or two in series) for true grid-independent power—ideal for portable, emergency, and mission-critical applications. It features a 13Ah LiFePO4 battery and includes a DC Output Converter for 13.8 VDC compatibility with radios like the Yaesu FT-817/818, Elecraft KX2/KX3, Icom IC-705, and others. It’s intended for use with QRP radios under 10W only.
- Bioenno Power 80W Foldable Solar Panel: Featuring dual high-efficiency monocrystalline panels, this compact, foldable unit delivers clean, EMI/RFI-free energy to power laptops, radios, PA systems, and other essential field electronics. Find more Bioenno Power solar panels from 28-100 watts at DX Engineering plus solar panel, charge controller, and battery combos.

Each unit includes a guy ring adapter for added stability.
- Alpha Antenna SWR Sounder Mag Loop Audible Antenna Tuning Aid: This handy device helps operators easily tune magnetic loop antennas. It provides audible feedback for accurate SWR adjustments. Here’s how it works:
- Place the HF SWR Sounder on or next to the tuning box of any magnetic loop antenna.
- Set your radio to 5W in FM or CW mode.
- Adjust the antenna for the lowest SWR while listening for the strongest audible tone, indicating optimal tuning.
