WiMo QRM Eliminator
The WiMo QRM Eliminator is a simple signal phasing device that can effectively reduce or remove noise interference for dramatically improved reception from 3.5 to 60 MHz. The QRM Eliminator is based on a totally innovative concept and cannot be compared to the performance of noise blanker or DSP circuits. Removing the noise before it gets to the receiver is the superior method of interference reduction. With the WiMo QRM Eliminator you can get rid of local interference almost entirely, up to an S9 level, with the likely result of completely clear reception! You don't have to understand the cause or type of interference nor do you need to know the location of its source. It doesn't matter if the interference originates from your own station or from a welding unit hundreds of feet away. The QRM Eliminator simply connects to the antenna port of transceiver and to the antenna (or amplifier input), without any radio modifications required. An additional user supplied auxiliary receiving antenna is required, such as a properly positioned 8 ft. outdoor dipole antenna or a simple 20 ft. wire in the shack, for example. This "noise sense" antenna receives mostly unwanted signal, while the transmitting antenna receives the same interference in a different phase along with the desired signal. The QRM Eliminator allows the adjustment of the amplification and phase to cancel out the unwanted signal before it reaches the receiver front end! Noise or interference nulling can provide over 45 dB of unwanted signal suppression, in many cases resulting in clear reception of the desired signal. The QRM Eliminator is built into a shielded metal enclosure, functions over the frequency range of 3.5 through 60 MHz, and has a status LED to indicate when the unit is turned on for phasing. The unit has a built-in T/R relay with PTT control via a rear panel RCA phono connector for the transceiver amplifier keying line. The QRM Eliminator automatically switches the Main antenna connection to the transceiver during transmit. Also, simply turn the unit off to bypass the phasing unit for normal reception on the Main transmit antenna. Click "More Detail" below to see additional information about this exciting device. You may not believe the power of interference phase nulling until you have experienced it for yourself. Order the WiMo QRM Eliminator exclusively in North America from DX Engineering.

WiMo ERC-Duo USB Interface for Yaesu Rotators
ERC-Duo USB Interface for Yaesu Rotators is a compact interface designed in Germany for connecting compatible Yaesu rotator controllers to a computer via USB. ERC-Duo can connect to all Yaesu rotator controllers that have an 'Ext. Control' connector. ERC-Duo includes a 6-pin mini-DIN cable for the Yaesu DXA series controllers. The ERC-Duo Interface uses the Yaesu rotor control protocol, just like the Yaesu GS-232A/GS-232B interface. This makes this interface compatible with almost all rotor control programs and logging software programs on the market. A key difference and advantage compared to others is the ERC-Duo Interface is powered via the PC USB port, so it is easy to use for either Base or Portable Satellite operations because it does not require an external power supply. Also included is the USB A to USB B cable for the PC connection. Install the USB driver before connecting the ERC-Duo, a simple download from the FTDI website: https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/. The calibration tool, user manual and control software can be downloaded from the URL provided in the documentation included in the product packaging.

WiMo ATAS 100/120 HF Counterpoise Kits
WiMo ATAS 100/120 HF Counterpoise Kits improve the performance of the ATAS-100 and ATAS-120 antennas when they are used as stationary or portable antennas. The well-known ATAS-100 and ATAS-120 antennas from YAESU were developed as vehicle antennas, but because of their compactness they are often used as portable or stationary antennas. Unfortunately, a balcony railing or the magnetic base alone are typically not sufficient to provide optimal results, so the use of a counterpoise system such as the WiMo ATAS-FGG is useful. The ATAS-FGG counterpoise kit consists of a solid aluminum ring that is attached directly to the ATAS-100 or ATAS-120 antenna with clamping screws and can remain on the ATAS during alternating mobile or stationary use. Eight aluminum radial elements are screwed into the ring and has an overall diameter of 13.12ft. (4m) when fully assembled. If space is not an issue, you can also connect one or more wire radials for the 40m band. NOTE - This counterpoise kit should only be used when stationary and is not intended for mobile use when the vehicle is in motion.

WiMo PicoAPRS-Lite APRS Transceiver Module
PicoAPRS-Lite APRS Transceiver Module - the little brother of the popular PicoAPRS. This is a tiny APRS tracker weighing just 7.2 grams*! Even though the PicoAPRS-Lite was developed with balloon flights with APRS payload (Pico balloons and stratosphere balloons) in mind, it can naturally also be used for many more APRS purposes. Thanks to its small measurements of just 27.8 x 66.9 x 6.3mm this tiny tracker can, for example, be installed nearly invisibly in cars. This allows for APRS usage without annoying wiring in the car or too short antenna cables. You can even carry the tracker around in your pocket! An SMA antenna jack is offered separately since its weight of about 2 grams is an unnecessary extra load for the light Pico balloons. This is also the reason why the tracker is being delivered without a case. Special functions of the PicoAPRS-Lite: - Automatic or manual frequency tuning on request. E.g. automatic for worldwide balloon flights. - In areas without APRS coverage and with automatic frequency tuning the ISS APRS frequency is used to be heard even in these situations. - Temperature and air pressure sensor. The values will be sent as an APRS comment in every position. - As an energy source a small solar cell with buffer capacitor can be used, as well as single-use or rechargeable batteries. - Voltage range ca. 3.2 - 5V. - When using a solar cell the PicoARPS-Lite will stay in battery-saving mode use only about 0.1mA until the buffer capacitor has stored enough charge, then sends a beacon and will go back into battery-saving mode to recharge for another beacon if needed. - Even with just one solar cell which supplies the buffer capacitor with just a tiny amount of current it can operate forever in sunshine! Ideal for a world trip with a balloon. - Even when using batteries the energy-saving mode will be used between beacon transmissions to extend the battery's lifetime. - Micro USB port for settings configuration with a terminal software. - Integrated GPS module with balloon mode up to 80km height, ideal for stratosphere balloons. - Transmission power configurable between 0.5 and 1W. - 7-pole lowpass filter to eliminate unwanted spurious emission. Status LED - Firmware updates via USB possible. Future wishes of users and product improvements can be uploaded later. Beware that this device has no voltage regulation! When operating with a solar panel and buffer capacitor the service voltage will usually drop to zero at night. With sunrise the device will be operational soon again. It's important that the tracker can be used with as little power as possible. A voltage regulator would cause a voltage drop which would be inconvenient during sunrise/sundown. To limit the maximum operating voltage a beacon will automatically be transmitted when reaching about 5V in balloon solar mode to use up stored energy. Doing so the maximum operating voltage won't be exceeded even when the idle solar cell provides too much voltage. *1) Weight without antenna jack, case or any energy source. Suggest accessories to be obtained from other sources: - SMA jack for circuit board mounting, upright, with long thread, for single hole fixing. If the device should be in a case and used with a regular antenna. - Lithium polymer battery 3.6V/800mA, as well as compatible connector cable for an external energy source. Beware, the PicoAPRS-Lite has no voltage regulator for batteries! Never charge batteries via USB! - Small USB charger for 4 LiPo batteries max.
