Am in the process of installing a Hy-Gain DX-88 that I just picked up. It
has the 160 meter kit included. According to the manuals I should install 16
radials at 14 feet each if just using up to 80 meters. If I plan to use 160
meters than I should also install another 16 radials at 24 feet each.

The question: Would I better off to install all 32 of these radials (as per
the manual) or put down 4 radials cut to 1/4 wave length for 10, 12, 15, 17,
20, 30, 40, 80 and 160 meters? Putting down 1/4 wave radials on 80 and could
prove to be a problem real estate wise. I am out in the country but even
then I still have some limitations.
