12 Meter Add-On Kits for Hustler 4BTV, 5BTV or 6BTV HF vertical antennas add 12 meter coverage without giving up existing band coverage.

This updated kit adds operation across the entire 12 meter band, 24.890 through 24.990 MHz, with a nominal SWR of 1.5:1 or less. Simply install the kit, check the tuning, make minimal tuning adjustments and you're on the air with an additional band

BTV Add-On Kits can work together, as they do not interact with each other, nor does their presence drastically affect other bands. 12 Meter and the 17 Meter Add-On Kit match each other, except for the coil on the 17M, and they add negligible wind loading to the antenna.

Both Add-On Kits, 12M and 17M, can mount on opposite sides of the Hustler BTV vertical, and may be installed at the same time or at different times.

The use of the DXE-OMNI-TILT Tilt Base is recommended for BTV ground mounting when both DXE-AOKC-12M and DXE-AOKC-17M kits will be installed.

For those roof mounted Hustler BTV, or those in an elevated position, two or more resonant radials should be added; about 9 ft., 5 in. each, for 12 meters. For ground mounted Hustler BTV installations, no change to the appropriate radial system is necessary.
