DXE-RPA-1 - Receiver Preamplifier, 0.3-35 MHz

 

This is the best HF low noise amplifier available. The RPA-1 is optimized for 0.3-35 MHz operating range. The push-pull amplifier 
design and robust components enable it to withstand high signal levels and operate when you need it most. The dynamic range of the 
RPA-1 is better than most receivers.  
The RPA-1 is suitable for indoor or outdoor installation, with the option of being powered through the 
coaxial feed. The metal housing provides shielding and improved lifespan. The unit uses RCA type 
phono jack and CATV F connector for the input and output connections, and has a relay that 
automatically bypasses the amplifier when dc power is removed. 

Benefits:

  

 

Push-pull operation eliminates harmonic distortion  

 

High quiescent current increases ability to handle strong signals without distortion or overload  

 

Meticulous craftsmanship and durable components provide superior dynamic range  

 

RCA type phono jack and type F connector ease installation  

 

Simplified switching - automatic bypass eliminates gain when dc power is off  

 

10-18 Vdc power using power connector or through the coax  

 

10-18 Vdc through coax enables remote operation at antenna

DXE-SSVC-150P Stainless Steel V-Clamp 

This stainless steel V-Saddle Clamp is made in four sizes to fit steel tubing or pipe ranging from 1/2" to 3'' 
OD for use in antenna construction. The 

DXE-SSVC-150P

 uses a V-Bolt and will attach to a mast ranging in 

size from 1" OD to 1-1/2" OD. The V-Saddles is made from high-strength 304 (18-8) stainless steel. The 
special stainless steel saddles have serrated teeth and will clamp to the pipe securely by biting into the 
surface. For this reason, it is not recommended for softer aluminum tubing or pipe. Included are Stainless 
Steel Hex Nuts, Split Washers and Flat Washers. 
 
 

DXE-SSVC-150PG Stainless Steel V-Clamp with Tab 

This stainless steel V-Saddle Clamp is made in two sizes to fit steel tubing or pipe ranging from 1/2" to 1-1/2'' OD 
for use in antenna construction. The 

DXE-SSVC-150P

 uses a V-Bolt and will attach to a mast ranging in size 

from 1" OD to 1-1/2" OD. The V-Saddle is made from high-strength 304 (18-8) stainless steel. The special 
stainless steel saddles have serrated teeth and will clamp to the pipe securely by biting into the surface. For this 
reason, it is not recommended for softer aluminum tubing or pipe. Continuing on the popular 

DXE-SSVC

 series 

of clamps, the 

"G"

 models have a special tab for connecting an optional ground braid or wire. Included are 

Stainless Steel Hex Nuts, Split Washers, Star Washers, Hex bolt for the tab and Flat Washers. 
 

 
UMI-82180 - DX Engineering Approved RTV Sealant

 

Permatex Black RTV Sealant, Non-Acetic. We have all used RTV to seal water out of things, right? Have you 
ever sealed a piece of electronic gear with it -- then opened it some time later to find that it had still managed 
to become corroded inside? Guess what? It's not the rain that corroded it - It's the RTV! Normal RTV gives 
off acetic acid when it cures. That's the vinegar smell. The acetic acid causes the corrosion. Applies just like 
"normal" RTV, dries in one hour and cures in 24 hours at 70 degrees F. And it doesn't smell like vinegar!
