DX Engineering Receive Four Square Array V3 Systems

DX Engineering Receive Four Square Array V3 Systems, DXE-R4S-SYS-V3, dramatically improve reception of weak distant MW and SW signals with excellent rejection of extraneous signals and noise. This is a four-direction switchable phased array that is able to cover multiple HF Amateur bands, such as 160, 80 and 40 meters, by using time delay phasing of four physically short active receive vertical elements. The resulting directional receiving pattern has deep back and side nulls that are superior to Beverage antennas and other receive arrays. The DX Engineering Receive Four Square Array is less susceptible to high angle signals than EWE, Flag, Pennant, K9AY and SAL antennas. Short vertical element receive arrays limit interfering signals and noise for dramatically superior weak signal reception, as compared to full size transmitting antennas and arrays. With the appropriate location and spacing of the four stealthy 8.5 ft. (2.6m) vertical elements, the Receive Four Square Array V3 System is a high performance, directional receive antenna for HF Amateur, SWL or AM DXing.

DX Engineering Receive Four Square Arrays offer directional performance comparable to four long Beverage wire antennas, while using far less land area. In the appropriate clear area, away from metal, structures and other antennas, each of the four Actives simply mount inches above the earth onto a ground rod. Each element is installed on the corners of the array square with sides that are one-eighth to one-quarter wavelength on the lowest band. For example, the optimized Receive Four Square Array for 160, 80 and 40 meters has elements spaced 70 ft. apart.

The DXE-R4S-SYS-V3 system includes the DXE-RFS-3 Receive Four Square Array Controller, four Receive Short Element Active Vertical Antennas, DXE-RSEAV-1, featuring the new DXE-AVA-3 Active Matching Units, insulating mounting plates and stainless hardware. These Active Antennas are packed in a 38 x 5 x 5 in. carton for lower shipping cost. Three sections of 3 ft. aluminum tubing, 0.500, 0.375 and 0.250 inch OD, assemble to a height of only 8.5 ft., so each self-supporting element is truly stealthy. This complete array system also includes the DXE-EC-4 Directional Control Console, one 1,000 ft. roll of quality RG6U cable, all cable prep tools, connectors and hardware for construction of the array. Required ground rods and control cable are purchased separately.

Build an exceptionally effective, electronically rotatable, stationary receive antenna that lets you hear the DX signals that cannot be heard on a transmit antenna. Dig the weak signals out of the noise with an antenna that can help make your station one of the best. Order and install the DX Engineering Receive Four Square Array V3 System.
