Introduction
Living in an area where antennas are not allowed? DX Engineering has designed a complete
antenna system that will allow Ham Radio Operators living under the shadow of HOA controlled
areas to get on the air easily.
Typically, with even a short 26 foot wire antenna, you can be on the air on all bands 40M and up –
And with the included DX Engineering 46 foot wire antenna element you can be on all bands 80M -
10M!
The very low profile Remote Tuning Unit [RTU] is easily hidden - even in small bushes or shrubs -
and the only thing that shows is the wire antenna element which can be very small diameter for a
near-zero visual impact.
This is a complete system including the tuner, MatchBoxx, stainless steel mounting shelf with
integral radial plate, the radial wire, three serpentine insulators and all hardware. Everything is
supplied that you will need for a no compromise installation that will get you on the air and
operating right under their noses.
This system can be used if your shack is on the main floor, basement or any other location as long
as you can run any size coax to the RTU located outside. There are no extra control lines necessary
since the RTU is completely self contained and even the power necessary to run it is carried by the
coax. There is no coax loss due to high SWR since the RTU will automatically match your coax to
the antenna at any HF frequency within seconds.
The MFJ-927 IntelliTuner™ lets you rapidly tune the
DXE-SMBA-2
stealth antenna automatically.
MFJ's exclusive InstantRecall™, IntelliTune™ and AdaptiveSearch™ algorithms give you fast
automatic tuning with more than 20,000 non-volatile VirtualAntenna™ memories. The tuner
includes a highly efficient switching L-network with wide matching capability, 1.8 to 30 MHz
coverage, a radio interface port, and heavy-duty 10 amp/1000 volt relays.
The MFJ tuner is rated at 200 watts SSB/CW. Furnished with MFJ-4117 Bias Tee for inserting 12
VDC from your power source (or
DXE-PSW-12D1A
power supply) on the coaxial cable to the
remote tuner.
