Including four new DX Engineering branded products to upgrade your station
***
OnAllBands has been working hard to cover all the new products now available at DX Engineering. The influx of fresh offerings is a good indication about the health of amateur radio, as innovators continue to find ways to enhance our enjoyment of the world’s best hobby.
This month we’ve already highlighted these manufacturers who have been added to DX Engineering’s lineup of more than 180 manufacturers:
Here are a few more new products to put on your list:
Chelegance CP016 CW Keyer and Code Practice Oscillator
This versatile device offers both off-air training and on-air operation in a single, compact desktop unit. It features full WinKey compatibility for seamless integration with contest and logging software, while also supporting standalone use with a built-in speaker and headphone output for flexible operation without a computer.
Other features include:
- Smooth DDS sine wave sidetone for reduced listening fatigue
- Clean signal shaping
- Opto-isolated CW and PTT outputs for reliable radio interfacing
- Multiple keying modes, including Iambic A, Iambic B, Ultimatic, and Bug
- Support for both paddle and straight keys
- Adjustable speed range of 10 to 54 WPM
DX Engineering Silicone Power Wire
This highly flexible, two-conductor stranded copper silicone insulated zip-cord type cable pair is typically used for low-voltage power circuits.
It’s also used as speaker wire for low- through high-power audio depending on the gauge selected. The silicone insulation colors are red and black for immediate polarity identification in every application. Silicone insulation features greater resistance to heat, UV, and contaminants, and can be used in place of standard PVC power wire zip cord.
Choose from six sizes: 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 and 8 AWG. This wire is sold in any per-foot length, so you can order just the right size and length for your system. Build your DC power systems with this wire, terminated with Anderson Powerpole® connectors, using DX Engineering Crimp Tools.
DX Engineering Tapered Tower Thrust Bearing Shelf
This shelf is custom made for ROHN and American Tower 25 series tapered top sections, allowing you to install the DX Engineering Advanced Design Thrust Bearing model DXE-TB300, specifically intended for a two-inch OD rotating mast.
Made from 3/16-inch-thick, laser-cut 304 stainless steel, the thrust bearing shelf comes with three DX Engineering stainless-steel mounting V-bolts. A quality anti-seize lubricant like Jet-Lube SS-30 must be used to avoid galling. The DXE-TBS25G shelf fits the following top tapered tower sections:

ROHN
DX Engineering Three Coax Tower Grounding Bracket
This bracket provides secure bonding points and standoffs for cable shields and connectors on tower installations. It helps bond cable shields to the tower at the top, bottom, and every 75 feet on taller towers.
Regular bonding helps keep the cable shield and tower leg at a similar electrical potential, creating a controlled conductive path. This can reduce the risk of cable jacket damage caused by high-energy pulses from a charged tower or nearby lightning. Without proper bonding, energy may arc through the cable jacket and create pinhole damage. The DXE-3CTGB-2 helps prevent this by providing a durable, repeatable bonding point at the recommended intervals.
Features include:
- Attaches on 1- to 2-inch tower legs, including ROHN 25G/45G/55G and Amerite 25/45/55 Series using the included DX Engineering DXE-SSVC-2P Stainless-Steel Saddle Clamp
- Made from 0.125-inch-thick laser-cut stainless steel
- Holds up to three cables and connectors apart from the tower and from each other for easy connector weatherproofing
- Provides bonding and a safe conductive path from the shield through the bracket to the tower leg when used with appropriate connectors
Three precision laser-cut 0.640-inch diameter connector mounting holes on the bracket accommodate up to three panel mount or bulkhead style connectors including
