while listening to a receive antenna. The
DXE-RTR-1A
also allows instantaneous receive
comparisons between the receive antenna and the transmit antenna, with a convenient three-position
front panel switch. Indicator LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) on the front panel allow the user to
determine at a glance if the unit is properly powered and if the receive or transmit antenna is
selected for reception and when the unit is keyed for transmission.
Features
Attractive, Heavy Stainless Steel Enclosure that won't slide on your desk
Front Panel LED Status Indicators and Manual Override Switch
200 Watt Transmit Switching Capability
Supports CW full break in (QSK)
Receive Antenna Inputs and Outputs use RCA phono and Type F connectors for safety
Main Antenna and Radio Connectors are SO-239 for ease of installation
Safe switching - automatically connects radio to transmit antenna when dc power is off
Hot switching lockout – disconnects receive antenna during transmit mode
Adds protection and antenna switching flexibility - for transceivers with receive ports
Level Limiter helps to protect receiver overload from strong received signals
RoHS compliant assembly
The
DXE-RTR-1A
Receive Antenna Interface for Transceivers is an attractive station accessory,
housed in a heavy, stainless-steel enclosure which matches other DX Engineering station
accessories. Cable connections to the
DXE-RTR-1A
are made entirely on the back panel, and all
switches and indicators are on the front panel, for a clean, easy-to-use installation.
General Information
The
DXE-RTR-1A
Receive Antenna Interface for Transceivers
is the accessory that allows owners
of transceivers which lack a receive antenna input to safely enjoy optional receive enhancing
equipment. The DX Engineering
DXE-RPA-1
Receive Pre-Amplifier
may be used in-line on a
receive antenna. The
DXE-NCC-1
Receive Antenna Variable Phasing Unit and the
DXE-AAPS3-
1P
Active Antenna Phasing System are now available for operations for RX ANT Input deprived
radios. The
DXE-RTR-1A
may be combined with the
DXE-TVSU-1A
Time Variable Sequence
Unit for high power operations at stations where the receive antenna is physically close to the
transmit antenna and for status indication of keying.
Old and new transceivers alike can benefit from the use of a high performance, low-noise pre-
amplifier to enhance reception. The
DXE-RPA-1
Receive Pre-Amplifier offers dynamic range and
third order intercept performance that exceeds most top dollar transceivers. As requested by many
Amateurs worldwide, the receive only
DXE-RPA-1
Receive Pre-Amplifier may now be used in-
line safely for improved reception with a transmitting antenna, when connected with the
DXE-
RTR-1A.
For enthusiasts who wish to use a favorite transceiver as a receiver only, now using an RF output
connection to a receive pre-amplifier and antenna and can be virtually worry free. Accidental
transmission through the receive antenna or receive pre-amplifier need not cause concern with a
properly connected
DXE-RTR-1A
.
