ARA
-60
The ARA-60 provides seamless receiving capability across the entire frequency range of 40 kHz to over
60 MHz, without any tuning and will typically work well through the FM broadcast band. The ARA-60 has
an integral RG-58 coaxial cable and is designed for vertical mounting to achieve an omni-directional
reception capability. Though the antenna is “electrically short” as compared to long wire aerials, the
reception is of nearly the same signal strength and quality.
ARA
- 100 HDX
The ARA 100-HDX covers 40 kHz to 100 MHz and is specifically designed for use in locations with high
ambient RF signals levels. The HDX preamplifiers have a higher third order intercept point allowing them
to withstand higher signal levels with minimum intermodulation distortion. Locations near radio or
television broadcast antennas, cellular communication or paging sites typical of urban locations require
the added dynamic range of the HDX preamplifiers. Intermodulation distortion is generally indicated by
the appearance of multiple “Images” of a real signal as you tune across the band. See the
troubleshooting section for additional information.
ARA
-2000LL
The ARA-2000LL covers the range from 50 MHz to 2000 MHz with the full receiving sensitivity and 50 to
80 MHz and 1500 to 2000 MHz with a slight reduction in sensitivity. The ARA-2000LL has been
developed for vertical mounting to achieve an omni-directional reception capability with a vertical
polarization. The ARA-2000LL includes the LMR-240 "Ultra-Flex" cable that provides added sensitivity.
The ARA-2000LL provides the same excellent receiving sensitivity as its predecessors, the ARA-900 and
1500, but now offers extended frequency coverage to 2000 MHz.
ARA
-2000 HDX
The ARA 2000-HDX covers 50 to 2000 MHz and is specifically designed for use in locations with high
ambient RF signals levels. The HDX preamplifiers have a higher third order intercept point allowing them
to withstand higher signal levels with minimum intermodulation distortion. Locations near radio or
television broadcast antennas, cellular communication or paging sites typical of urban locations require
the added dynamic range of the HDX preamplifiers. Intermodulation distortion is generally indicated by
the appearance of multiple “Images” of a real signal as you tune across the band. See the
troubleshooting section for additional information. The HDX 2000 is supplied with the low loss LMR-240
"Ultra-Flex" coaxial cable.
EWPA
-5200LL (Unavailable, replacement forthcoming)
The EWPA-5200LL is a mast mountable preamplifier covering the frequency range of 50 to 2000 MHz.
Like the ARA-2000LL, it allows the low noise preamplifier to be located very close to the antenna, to
optimize sensitivity. The EWPA-5200LL is specifically designed to accommodate the needs of users with
specialty antennas like the Discone, Yagi or log periodic. It will operate effectively on broadband or
narrowband antennas. The EWPA-5200LL version includes LMR-240 "Ultra-Flex" coax cables. (antenna
to preamp and main RF cable) The EWPA-5200 is protected against damage from static discharge.
Antennas designs with the receiving elements at DC ground are recommended in locations subject to
high wind and low relative humidity.
