If you look at the ARX-2B design (the current product which includes radials as part of the design) you'll see the coaxial feedline outer conductor is bonded to the radials and the supporting mast 1/2 wavelength below the feedpoint of the antenna.

Ground plane has (3) radials each being 20" in length.

Ground plane union and radials are 50" below antenna base on mast.

Whether the ground plane kit serves as a 5/8 wave element or a decoupling section depends on who you ask. The union is connected to the coax shield.

The ground plane is made up of a union to which three 20" long radials connect. So the ground plane attaches to the mast at that distance below the antenna. The ground plane kit on the ARX-2B includes 50" of coax to place between the antenna and the ground plane. 5/8 wavelength below the ring adding the equivalent of an additional 5/8-wave radiator. Ringo Ranger (ARX-2) - Ringo Ranger II (ARX-2B) - adds the radials approx.
