I couldn't be more satisfied with this antenna if I tried. After doing a little research after my HF360 died, I chose the Rapide Plus. Ordering, so simple. Delivery, ordered on a Wednesday delivered on the Friday. Sat down on the Saturday morning watched a few video's from Cal and a few others on youtube and got the instruction from the website and started to build. One piece of advise I would give read each instruction twice and when it comes to cutting the wire lengths read twice, measure twice before you cut (I almost made a mistake at this point) You have just enough wire to do the verticals and the radials. I have a Yaesu FT710 and following the cut charts and the using the built in ATU 1.1 swr across all bands from 40 down to 6 (I swapped the 30 for 40). The antenna has now been up for 1 month and I have made some very minor alterations to some of the vertical lengths but to be honest really no need its just me playing its working great.

After looking at many options, I think this is the absolute best quality and value. Used for antenna purposes.

My original pole broke off, and left me with 5 meters of the lower sections. I am using it as needed. However, the new pole is now supporting a Delta Loop made with some DX10 wire and an LDG 4:1 UnUn. I have it in a triangle configuration, and fed in the corner using RG8X coax. This allowed me to make a CW DX contact to New Zealand on 17 meters! Your products are great and I have documented my test results and posted them on our ARC W5IAS Facebook page. There is one improvement that could be made at the tip of the pole, and that is the eyelet. The diameter should be larger to allow more freedom of movement for wire antenna systems like the Delta Loop. I'm using a short piece of 550 paracord. The paracord isn't as slick to allow the dx10 wire to slide a little when the wind moves it, or during set up. This puts a great deal of stress on the pole below the tip sections.

This DX10 Wire is the best.
it is very limber and easy to work with.
it has little if any memory and doesn’t tangle up.
The Customer service is top notch too…
Amazing product. I have used quite a few verticals before but DX Commander bits them in all aspects. I watched a few Callum’s videos ( they are brilliant ), read the manual and bought some tools online. Tuning antenna after that was a piece of cake. Yes, I had to do some adjustments but that’s expected from any antenna I suppose.
I leave home for long periods of time due to my work abroad and just pull antenna out and lay it by the fence. When I am back it takes a minute to bring it back to life. It’s just so convenient. Performance exceeded all my expectations so far. DX Commander team, thank you for your product and brilliant support. Keep it up!
