Will this work for dx in a tree without a earth ground an without the groundplane kit?

It will need one or the other, a ground wire from the antenna base to ground will help

Yes It Will Work, but you can hang a peice of wire out of a tree and do the same. The earth ground or groundplane are a vital part of an antenna system. For best performance you need one or the other....Antenna's in a tree are a very bad idea and generally provide for a better chance of lightning strike

I can tune this antenna from 10 to 20 meters and have done well DX'ing. You really need a good ground to work good DX. Put a rod into the ground and connect it to the mounting plate. That will help. There is also a radial attachment you can add on. Good luck. It is a GREAT antenna!.

This is a great antenna. The IMAX 2000 should be elevated on a pole about the same length with a counter poise ground strap to ground rod. Wind feed line about 8 turns at 8 inches dia. At connection to IMAX. Use a grounded lightning protector close to ground rod on feed line to radio. Yes this antenna will certainly work DX.

The tree becomes a ground plane. Law states that you can only raise an antenna 20 feet off a natural or pre existing structure. So a tree will give you a lot more hight. But hight is not always good. Beyond 35 feet you tend to loose ground plane anyway. Yes this will work without ground plane but I recc it that high. With out ground plane you signal shoots strait up. I would research old school ground plane info. Most new stuff is here say.

Yes. No ground. As far as we know + & - thru posts. Haven't installed them yet. This boat has been a long project, but the package says "Fits #90 socket. Specific for bow lights."

Hi, it counts on your wiring. If the box is ground and you use the screw in the loop then yes it will be ground. If the box is not then of course a ground will not just appear from no where.

This is the second antenna I installed in my attic (I moved from the first house and left the antenna). I didn't run a ground wire to either antenna. It will work fine without a ground. I think the ground wire is to discharge any static in the atmosphere. You should not have any static issues in your enclosed attic.

If there isn't a good ground connection then it won't work.Also, be aware of battery polarity.

I've got the DX6i, it works fine with this plane. The receiver on the plane is DSM2/DSMX.

There is no connection fora ground I would think you could run a cable from the frame to a chunk of re-bar in the ground.I have only had to use it for emergency's and did not have time to worry about a ground.

Any Spectrum brand DSM2 or DSMX type TX will work with this plane. I would recommend the DX6i for a inexpensive introduction to a computer radio.

I don't know for sure, but I am almost positive it wouldn't work through the small rocks/gravel you use as ground cover.

Yes. It works with X-Plane as well. You may have to set up each switch depending on the plane you're using.

The DX6I is a DSMX protocol transmitter, therefore it is compatible with this aircraft. Yes it will work!

Yes, the cable comes complete with a male 120 volt plug without a ground. Hope this helps!

You can use this on the ground or over a tree stand. It works good, it just takes a little time to set it up.

There is no ground. Run a common power to the lug on top and fused power comes out the sides. If using on an auto one option would be to use a self tapping screw to chassis ground the circuit.

no. there is no ground connection to the anteenae itself. it grounds thru your electrical outlet. if you have a splitter make sure you have a ground to that if it outdoors.

Yes the mount plate should be grounded, thru mast, tower or if in or on a tree/fiberglass pole. use a ground wire to ground.
