ESCRIPTION

Whenever the ARTS 7000 is used to test transponder or DME systems it is highly
recommended to utilize the Laversab Antenna Coupler.  The coupler is designed to clamp onto
most shark fin style antennas.  It can be used on Top or Bottom antennas. Correct placement
of the coupler is essential to make sure there is no transmission leak.

Laversab Coupler Part Number: 123-0237
