- DIEX Antennas: DX Engineering has added many new models of Brazilian-made rotatable dipole HF antennas from DIEX Antennas, a manufacturer that has been providing proven solutions for space-limited operators for more than two decades. Below are some of the models that have been added in 2025. Find more than 50 DIEX antennas at DXEngineering.com:

- Carlson Heavy-Duty Portable Antenna Mast Trailer Hitch Mount: This provides an easy solution for securely mounting your antenna mast to a standard two-inch trailer hitch receiver. Constructed from heavy-duty steel and finished in gloss black for durability, the mount is designed to handle demanding conditions.
- DX Engineering Vinyl End Caps: DX Engineering has added new options to its lineup of vinyl end caps (see below). These valuable station additions fit over the ends of tubing, pipe, or coaxial cables to keep moisture out and protect your equipment. Caps fit these tubing O.D.s in inches: .125, .250, .375, .438, .500, .612, .625, .677, .750, .875, 1, 1.125, 1.250, 1.312, 1.375, 1.500, 1.625, 1.750, 1.875, 2, 2.125, 2.250, 2.375, 2.500, 2.750, and 3.
Additionally, they’re perfect for keeping PL-259, SO-239, Type-N female, and SMA coaxial connectors clean and dust-free when not in use. Choose from 28 vinyl end cap options.
- DX Engineering Portable VHF/UHF Antenna Mount: Designed for rapid deployment in portable operations, the DXE-MOBILEPORT-U is the ideal solution for mounting VHF/UHF or GMRS vertical antennas in the field. Whether you’re camping, participating in Field Day, supporting EmComm activities, or setting up a temporary station, this mounting plate simplifies antenna setup in challenging environments.
The center hole is sized to fit over collapsible masts like DXE Nomad Fiberglass Portable Telescopic Masts, providing a stable and secure base. Four outer holes can anchor guy lines for mast stabilization and support soldered wires to create a ground plane—if your antenna requires one. However, for best performance and simplicity, a no-ground-plane-required antenna is recommended.
FlexRadio Products: DX Engineering has been adding FlexRadio accessories to its list of products it now carries from the Texas-based transceiver innovators. In addition to selling FlexRadio 8400 and 8600 Transceivers and the Maestro Control Console, here are a few more accessories available at DX Engineering:
- FlexRadio Handheld Microphone (FHM-3-TRSRCA): The mic is designed for use with FlexRadio 6000 series radios. Simply connect the TRS and RCA connectors to the appropriate jacks on the back of the radio and you’re ready to operate in voice modes. If you want to use the FHM-3-TRSRCA with the Maestro you will need the FRI-MAE-C-ADAPTR Adapter Kit.
- Flex Antenna Automatic Antenna Tuner Plug-In Module Kit: This module offers a convenient, user-installable solution for enhancing your Flex 8400M/8600M transceiver’s performance. The kit allows operators to customize their radios based on operational needs. The tuner module can match up to a 3:1 SWR on 80-10 meters and up to 2.5:1 SWR on 160 and 6 meters, ensuring efficient power transfer and reliable operation across a wide frequency range.
- FlexRadio 8400/8600 GPSDO (GPS Disciplined Oscillator) Upgrade Module: By synchronizing with global GNSS signals, the GPSDO module provides an accurate 10 MHz reference signal via a rear panel BNC, ensuring your radio operates with unparalleled frequency stability. It’s ideal for users who demand precise timing and frequency control, such as in weak-signal work, transverter digital modes, or environments where consistent accuracy is critical.
- FlexRadio Maestro Embroidered Dust Cover: The cover features a channel where you can leave accessories attached to the Maestro and still provide protection for the device when not in use.
- Paradan Power Strip 8 DC Distribution Panel: Tidy up your station and power up all your 12-volt equipment. This rugged, high-capacity metered distribution panel features one 40A fused Anderson Powerpole® input socket and eight fused Powerpole output sockets, allowing for easy fan-out in a horizontal layout.
- 12 Volt Power Panel Mount Powerpole Connectors: These connectors feature a panel-mounted housing suitable for go-boxes, shack panels, dashboards, and chassis installations. Units include either one or two pairs of Powerpoles rated for up to 30 amps continuous operation. They fit a standard 1-1/8-inch diameter mounting hole and secure with a rear threaded nut. A weather-tight rubber cover protects the connector when not in use. Each unit includes 30A terminals for 12-14 AWG wire and is compatible with other Powerpole 15, 30, and 45 amp terminals (sold separately).
- REZ Antenna Systems Recon 40 Version 2 HF Portable Antenna System: This is a complete, high-quality fast deploy portable antenna system that is easily tuned for 40 through 10 meter operation.

Also included is a premium water-resistant MOLLE backpack, available in five colors. Kits include either a spike or tripod mount.
Also available are REZ Ranger 80 II™ HF Portable Antenna Systems.
- Ciro Mazzoni Wireless USB Keypad: This keypad allows fingertip control of Ciro Mazzoni loop antennas’ ATU 2.0 Antenna Control Unit. Eliminate the wired version and gain the freedom to separate the ATU 2.0 and the keypad. The ATU can be placed on a shelf with the Wireless USB Keypad located conveniently at your operating position. This 18-key wireless keypad can be added to a laptop or tablet that does not have a separate numerical keypad. It is battery powered and comes with a wireless dongle that plugs into any USB port, including the front of the ATU 2.0. It’s compatible with Ciro Mazzoni MIDI, BABY or STEALTH Loops with ATU 2.0 antenna controllers.
