Now we can add the RF Boxes.
1.
UltraBeam
is added as a Simple Antenna. The Direction tab is set to Rotator=Prosistel. The Switching
tab needs no entry. Frequency range is set to 7000-54000kHz for RX and each band is set explicitly for
TX on the Rules tab. The control box (ADR: 061 uLINK DATA) is selected using “Add Control” and the
serial port function is set for UltraBeam.
2.
SteppIR 1
is added as a Simple Antenna. The Direction tab is set to Rotator=Rotary Tower (ROT
TOWER). The other parameters are the same as for UltraBeam except for the control box (ADR: 062
uLINK DATA) and the serial port function is set for SteppIR.
3.
SteppIR 2
is added as a Simple Antenna. The other settings are the same as those for SteppIR 1 except
for the control box (ADR: 063 uLINK DATA).
4.
TFS-4
is added as a Vertical Antenna Array using the built in template for TFS-4. Fixed azimuth is set at
315 degrees on the Directions tab to define the default direction. The frequency range is set to 3500-
4000kHz for RX, and 3500-3800kHz for TX at Rules tab (Region 1 band plan). ADR: 046, Unit 1 (uLINK
RELAY 10) is selected for direction control on the Switching tab. ADR: 056, Unit 2 (uLINK RELAY 6) is
selected using Add Control as a sequencer unit to control RFS-2 and LNA 1 when TFS-4 is used for
transmit. Hold and Invert are checked, Lead time is set to 0, Tail delay to 10ms, switching delay to 5ms,
and Frequency range set to 3500-4000kHz.
5.
OB2-80
is added as a Simple Antenna. The Directions tab is set to Rotator=G-1000. Frequency range is
set to 3500-4000kHz for RX, and 3500-3800kHz for TX at the Rules tab. ADR: 045, Unit 1 (uLINK
RELAY 10) is added for frequency control with Output count set to 4. Follow is set to TX frequency and
the four band segments edited according to specifications.
6.
OB16-3
is added as a Simple Antenna. The Directions tab is set to Rotator=TIC RING. Frequency range
is set for three individual segments for 20, 15 and 10m to prevent the antenna from being used on the
WARC bands. No other settings are required.
7.
SF Tower
is added as a Simple Antenna. Directionality is set to Omni-directional on the Directions tab.
Frequency range is set for total three segments, first to 1800-2000kHz for RX only (TX not allowed) and
then two separate segments, 1810-1880kHz, and 1900-1930kHz respectively for TX. Using Add Control,
ADR: 045, Unit 2 (uLINK RELAY 10) is added for frequency control. Output count set to 2, Follow set to
TX frequency and the thee band segments are edited for antenna matching.
8.
Beverage 1
added as Vertical Antenna Array using built in template for “Vertical Array Antenna, Other
without Omni type.” Direction is set for Fixed azimuth to 315 deg (NW default direction) and set as RX
safe. Control box at Switching tab is set to ADR: 055, Unit 1 (uLINK RELAY 6) is selected on the
Switching tab. Frequency range is set to 1800-10200kHz, RX only on the Rules tab. The Fit mask is
changed to XX in order for each direction to be listed as a separate Antenna Selection.
