Paradan Radio Dual Antenna Disconnectors
Paradan Radio Dual Antenna Disconnectors reduce the chance of station damage from lightning pulses. The Dual Antenna Disconnector automatically disconnects and isolates any radio equipped with two antenna ports—and it grounds both antenna SO-239 coaxial connectors. The two radio SO-239 connectors may also be used for two separate transceivers or receivers. The Dual Antenna Disconnector is excellent for protecting remote stations from lightning pulse damage. The Dual Antenna Disconnector prevents static-discharge, surges, and lightning-pulse effects from damaging your radio and associated equipment. When the transceiver is turned OFF, both antenna coax center conductors and shields are shorted together and grounded—and both coax center conductors and coax shields are disconnected from the radio. When the transceiver is powered ON, the Disconnector re-connects both coaxial cables for normal operating. Power for the Disconnector can be supplied by either the transceiver's auxiliary DC power output or by the station power supply that is turned off when not operating. For stations where the power supply is always left on, the Radio ON Sensor unit tells the Disconnector to reconnect coaxial cable when the radio is turned on. For correct operation the Dual Antenna Disconnector requires a good earth ground. The unit is supplied with a ground wire ring terminal, four wire splice connectors, and a Powerpole® connector pair.

Paradan Radio Antenna Disconnect Actuators
Paradan Radio Antenna Disconnect Actuators are installed in the coaxial cable that feeds the antenna. When power from your transceiver or station power supply is turned off, they automatically disconnect the antenna from your station and ground the antenna feedline. This reduces the chance of station damage from lightning while you're away. The ADA also has a gas discharge tube to protect the radio from lightning pulse damage while operating. Eliminating the wear and tear on transceiver and station connectors from repeated physical disconnection and reconnection, the Paradan Antenna Disconnection Actuator takes care of grounding antenna feedline automatically. It safely prevents static-discharge, surges, and lightning pulse effects from damaging your radio and associated equipment without having to remember to unplug the system and wear out the connectors. This is especially helpful for stations that are located on upper floors of the home where grounding is an issue. The water-resistant enclosure of the ADA may be installed in the shack at the output of the transceiver, amplifier or tuner—or outdoors in line with the antenna coaxial cable. Connect the DC cable into +12 Vdc source, either from the transceiver or power supply that is turned off when not operating. When power is on, the ADA is powered, and the antenna feedline is automatically connected. When DC is off, the antenna's coax center and shield are shorted together and grounded. The case is grounded to the antenna's coax connector but is isolated from the radio's coaxial connector. The Paradan Antenna Disconnect Actuator LED illuminates green when its two 15 ampere contacts RF relays connect the antenna. The relays have diode protected coils to eliminate reverse spikes, and they handle 1,500 watts of RF from 1.8 to 50 MHz; they also have two SO-239 (UHF female) connectors. Specifications for the Paradan Radio Antenna Disconnect Actuator, PDN-P-ADA-1: * Operating Power: 10-18 Vdc at 60 mA when turned ON to connect antenna * Insertion Loss: <0.05 dB at 30 MHz, <0.1 dB at 54 MHz * Power Handling: 1.5 kW * Control Wire: Two-conductor 18 AWG with RCA phono plug RED to center pin, BLACK to plug shell, may be lengthened or re-terminated as needed * Control Input: Diode protected against reverse polarity; RF filtered * Active Lightning Protection: Gas Discharge Tube on antenna coax input * Case Ground: 0.25 in. stud with washers, lock washer and nut * Case: Diecast aluminum, black powdercoat, white print, water-resistant * Size: 4.8 x 2.6 x 1.6 in., mounting flanges with four-hole on-center spacing of 5.25 in. by 1.50 in. * Weight: 0.81 lbs.

Paradan Radio DC Gate 40+
Paradan Radio DC Gate 40+ is a 13.8 volt battery back-up system for powering your radio station, "go box", or RV. It can output up to 40 amperes from either the power supply or the battery. The radio, or other equipment connects to the or-gate output. One input comes from the power supply, the other input is connected to a 12 volt battery. The higher voltage of the power supply passes through to the output. But when AC power is lost and the power supply goes dead, the gate switches to the battery, instantaneously. When the power comes back on again, the gate switches back to the power supply, and the built in 2 ampere constant current charger rapidly restores the battery to full charge. Ideal for use with Bioenno Lithium-Ferrous-Phosphate batteries as well as sealed lead-acid batteries. The DC 40+ is solidly made on a heatsink and connections are Powerpoles.

Paradan Radio Dual Operator Controllers
Paradan Radio Dual Operator Controllers are exciting devices that enable two operators to use one transceiver to independently make contacts and listen. This audio, microphone, and PTT controller is perfect for two-person portable operations like POTA or SOTA, as well as tandem operating during events such as Field Day or radio contests. This controller is exactly what hams need for one-on-one training of new operators, for any type of operation including casual, DXing and contesting! This is a perfect way for parents, grandparents, siblings and friends to share their love of our great hobby and to get others on the air! The Dual Operator Controller is appropriately designed for each operator to wear their own personal headset and to use their designated footswitch. Both operators hear the transceiver audio until Operator 1 depresses their footswitch. Then their respective LED illuminates, the audio is muted to their headphones, their headset microphone is connected and the radio keys to transmit. As Operator 1 completes the contact (QSO), Operator 2 can hear the QSO via the radio monitor audio and either operator can perform the logging function for the QSO. When Operator 1 releases their footswitch, Operator 2 can depress their footswitch, their LED lights and everything connects in order for them to make a QSO on the same transceiver, while Operator 1 listens. Of course, either operator can perform logging tasks, or each can do their own logging. The dual footswitch PTT of the Dual Operator Controller functions on a "first come, first served" basis. Either operator can key the transceiver and talk, just not both at the same time. No computer or software is required or connects to the Paradan Radio Dual Operator Controller. This device provides a simple and straightforward way to connect mic, headphones and PTT for "2OSR" - Two Operator - Single Radio fun! The Paradan Radio Dual Operator Controller set includes the controller, two footswitches, one brand and connector specific radio interface cable (8-pin Round or 8-pin Modular RJ45; Icom or Yaesu), a 3.5mm male audio patch cable and 6.35mm adapter, and a power cable for 10-15VDC. Order the unit that corresponds to the correct mic cable for your transceiver. Internal jumpers can be set to configure the unit mic input for either dynamic or electret on both microphone elements.
