We’re introducing a new feature on OnAllBands. With so many products being added to DX Engineering’s lineup of 3o,ooo-plus offerings from more than 180 manufacturers, we’ll be providing quick snapshots of some of these items with links for more information on DXEngineering.com. We’ll still be featuring more in-depth looks at what’s hot at DXE, but this is designed to give you a nice overview of station-enhancing gear to put on your wish list.
As always, check the website for current availability. Ready for some speed shopping? Here we go…
- “Hints & Hacks for the Radio Amateur“: Sourced from the pages of QST, this handy reference features tried-and-true tricks hams around the world use to ease their operating, improve their station ergonomics, and elevate their fun. (144 pages, softcover)
- EAntenna HEX6B Six-Band Hexbeam Antenna: This directional HF antenna covers 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, and 6 meters. Its design follows the ideas of Steve Hunt, G3TXQ, the originator of the broadband version of the Hexbeam antenna. Refined by EAntenna, the mechanical construction of this version uses the company’s longstanding antenna engineering experience. The result is an efficient, lightweight portable antenna for the high HF DX bands which assembles quickly, making it ideal for DXpeditions and vacations.
- mAT-TUNER MAT-600A 600W Automatic Antenna Tuner: The unit features a high-quality multi-layer circuit board and a lightweight machined black oxide aluminum case. The mAT-600A is a general-use external automatic antenna tuner for use with any HF transceiver with 1.8-54 MHz continuous coverage. It includes 16,000 frequency memories and is rated up to 600 watts SSB/CW and 150 watts on digital modes.
- Chameleon M25 40M Loading Coil: This rugged, high-performance loading coil expands the frequency coverage of your vertical antenna system. Built for use with the CHA SS25 25-foot telescoping whip, this coil transforms your MPAS-ready basic vertical setup into a resonant, quarter-wave, base-loaded vertical antenna for 40 meters.
- Chameleon TACYAGI-70 UHF Tactical Foldable Yagi Antenna: This compact (17.8 inches when folded), high-performance Yagi makes a good choice for EMcomm, tactical operations, and portable field use, including POTA, SOTA, camping, RVing, or operating from balconies in apartments or condos. With a frequency range of 400-470 MHz, 7 dBi of gain, and a front-to-back ratio greater than 15 dB, it significantly extends the range of handheld UHF FM transceivers and supports horizontal polarization for CW, SSB, or digital modes with radios like the Yaesu FT-817/818, Yaesu FTX-1, or Icom IC-705.
- AnyTone AT-D578UV III Pro Tri-Band Digital/Analog Transceiver: Built for operators who value flexibility, digital clarity, and rugged reliability, the transceiver supports analog FM and digital DMR modes and is ideal for mobile, base station, or emergency communication use. With transmit coverage of 144-148 MHz (VHF), 222-225 MHz (220 MHz band), and 420-450 MHz (UHF), plus wideband receive and full duplex capability (UU/VV/V+U), this radio allows simultaneous monitoring of two channels with independent volume controls. It also features DMR repeater roaming for uninterrupted communication on the move.

- LDG Electronics QRP Pixie Balun Set: Developed for QRP enthusiasts, this compact solution for matching and experimenting with a variety of antenna systems handles up to 10 watts. Set includes two transformers:
- Balanced/Unbalanced: converts from BNC to parallel wire (~500 ohms)
- Balanced/Balanced: converts from 500-ohm twin lead to 5,000-ohm twin lead. The screw terminals are appropriately spaced for 300-ohm twin lead.
- DX Engineering Receive Filter Plug-In Modules: Install these high-performance, monoband plug-in receive filters into your NCC-2, RTR-2, RPA-2, or DMC-2 devices for improved signal-to-noise and better receiving results. Individual filters are available for 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters as single band pass, high-pass, or low-pass versions. Use one low pass and one high pass to create a multiband pass.
- InnovAntennas VHF UHF Plus Log Periodic Dipole Array Antenna: This robust, 17-element antenna delivers broadband frequency coverage with good directionality, horizontal or vertical polarization mounting, gain and front-to-back performance for specific purposes as compared to omni-directional zero-gain Discones, RF power handling up to 1,000 watts, and computer-optimized 50-ohm feedpoint design for direct coaxial cable connection.

- Chelegance Portable Antenna Radial Wire Disc: This lightweight and efficient disc enhances the performance of portable antennas like the Chelegance MC-750 and JPC-12. Designed to be used with a ground spike, it features an M10 threaded insert that is fully compatible with the Chelegance Ground Spike system. The radial disc allows you to expand your antenna’s radial field for improved signal quality while making setup quick and easy. Users are required to supply and install their own radial wire, which connects via the included 12 4mm banana plugs.
- GHD GN205S Single Lever Paddle: Meticulously crafted in Sendai City, Japan, this single lever paddle features a sleek chrome finish and a unique lever arrangement with separate tension springs for the “dah” and “dit” contacts. The yoke and arm assembly includes two moving parts for the “dit” side and one for the “dah” side, ensuring precise and smooth operation.
- Lido LM-BASE-EXT-03 Base Mount: Perfect for mounting your mobile rig at home, the base mount features a solid 3.4 lb. metal base that extends upward from 7.5 to 9.75 inches. The top of the mounting rod has a swivel ball that allows you to adjust the extension plate in any position. The extension plate can also be disconnected from the base and quickly moved to other Lido mounts. Comes with the LM-1201 and LM-1203 microphone mounts as well as mounting screws to attach Icom and Yaesu control heads to the extension plate for a nice and tidy look in your shack.
