being re-radiated by the transmit antenna. The
DXE-ARAH
series active horizontal antenna
system also grounds the antenna element when power is turned off for protection of the active
devices.
When using transmitting radio systems and RF amplifiers a sequencer such as the
DXE-TVSU-1A
Time Variable Sequencer Unit
should be used to ensure the correct timing while switching from
receive to transmit, and back to receive.
Features
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
Close Spacing from Transmit Antennas – element grounded at power-off
Long Life − high quality stainless and brass mounting hardware, metal enclosure
Compact − stainless steel tapered element has low visual and environmental impact
Easy Mounting and Installation Flexibility − pre-drilled mounting plate and universal V-
saddle clamps

Mast mounting pipe
DXE-F6 - 75Ω F-6 Style, Direct Bury Coaxial Cable: Full Spool or Custom Cable Assemblies.
Flooded coaxial cable is recommended.
CATV F-6
is a high quality 75Ω flooded coaxial cable.
Contact DX Engineering to have custom lengths of
CATV F-6
cable manufactured with
DXE-SNS6
- Snap-N-Seal 75 ohm Coaxial Connectors
installed.
DXE-CPT-659 - Coax Cable Stripper for CATV F-6, RG-6 and RG-59 coaxial cable.
DX
Engineering’s economical stripping tool prepares CATV F-6 style coax for connectors in one
operation and includes an extra cutting cartridge.
DXE-SNS6-25 - Watertight Coaxial Connector, Snap-N-Seal for CATV F-6 Cable, 25 pieces
The feedline shield is used as the ground return for the active antenna power, so the feedline
connections must be high quality and weather resistant. For this reason, it is recommended using
Snap-N-Seal
type F connectors.
DXE-SNS-CT1 - Compression Tool for Snap-N-Seal 75Ω Coaxial Connectors.
The
DXE-
SNS6-25
connectors cannot be installed with normal crimping tools or pliers. An installation tool
such as the
DXE-SNS-CT1
is essential for proper connector installation.
PTX-82180 - DX Engineering Approved RTV Sealant.
Permatex Black RTV Sealant, Non-
Acetic. Avoid using any corrosive sealant which has a vinegar-like smell.
PTX-81343 - Anti-Seize
should be used on stainless steel hardware (small amount on threads) to
prevent galling.
