Warning
:
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take
extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or
death.
Manual Updates
Every effort is made to supply the latest manual revision with each product. Occasionally a manual
will be updated between the time your DX Engineering product is shipped and when you receive it.
Please check the DX Engineering web site (www.DXEngineering.com) for the latest revision
manual.
Features
Close Spacing from Transmit Antennas – Receive element is grounded at power-off
Sensitive − Weak signal sensitivity rivaling full size antennas
Wide Bandwidth – 100 kHz to 30 MHz
Excellent Strong Signal Handling − Outstanding Third Order Intercept of +30 dBm
Reduced Noise − Quiet FET followers and exceptional feedline shield isolation
Long Life − High quality stainless steel and brass mounting hardware, full metal
enclosure
Compact − Stainless steel tapered element has low visual and environmental impact
Easy Mounting and Installation Flexibility − Pre-drilled mounting plate and stainless
steel U-Bolt Saddle clamps for mounting to your 4 foot ground rod
May be connected to a transceiver which lacks a receive antenna input using the optional
DXE-RTR-1A
Receive Antenna Interface for transceivers.
Technical Description
This compact receiving antenna system is designed to operate over a very wide bandwidth from the
broadcast band to 30 MHz with superior strong signal performance. The Third Order Intercept
(TOI) is approxi30 dBm, reducing or eliminating spurious signals.
Exceptional feedline decoupling, absent in some other popular designs, greatly reduces feedline
conducted noise and unwanted signal interference.
The
DXE-ARAV3
Active Receive system requires well fi10 to +15 Vdc @ 60 mA nominal
current. This power must be supplied through the feedline using the included
DXE-FVI-1
Feedline
Voltage Injector and wall mounted transformer power supply (also included). Alternatively, well
filtered station power may be used with a 1 amp in-line fuse. If used, the
DXE-TVSU-1A
Time
Variable Sequencer Unit or
DXE-NCC-1
Receive Antenna Variable Phasing Controller will supply
power for multi-element arrays. The
DXE-TVSU-1A
Time Variable Sequencer Unit and the
DXE-
NCC-1
Noise Canceling Receive Antenna Controller will interrupt the power to the
DXE-ARAV3
for proper grounding during the transmit operation of the transceiver.
