Better receiving performance than full-size transmit antennas and other active makes the DXE-RSEAV-1 the best choice on the market for VLF through HF reception, including long-distance AM broadcast, Medium Wave and Shortwave (SWL), and new low-frequency Amateur bands, DXing, contesting, and everyday HF operations. Click on a listed product title and Scroll Down to see additional important information. A complete product description appears below the Specifications Overview. Instruction manual links appear in the Documentation section. The sleek and stealthy DXE-RSEAV-1 includes a high-quality three-section 8.5 ft. (2.6m) aluminum tubing whip, insulated mounting plate and the completely new DXE-AVA-3 Active Matching Unit. Its state-of-the-art broadband operational amplifier design works as a high-impedance buffer between the short antenna element and RG6U 75-ohm coax. When installed in the appropriate location, RSEAV antennas provide significantly better weak signal reception than other active receive antennas and full-size transmit-capable antennas, with substantially reduced noise and lower spurious signal interference. Receive Short Element Active Vertical Antennas are intended to be mounted on a ground rod at ground level in a clear area away from all metal, towers and other antennas. They are sold individually (DXE-RSEAV-1), or with a bias tee (DXE-RSEAV-1FVI) and DXE-RSEAV-1 Receive Short Element Active Verticals set a new standard for "Active Receive Vertical Antennas" replacing legacy DXE-ARAV-3, ARAV-2, ARAV-1 and AL-24 versions. Use multiple DXE-RSEAV-1 for all 4 and 8 element DX Engineering Receive Arrays – all 3, 4 and 8 element Hi-Z Antennas Arrays – and 2 element receive arrays with DXE-NCC-2 and NCC-1 Variable Phasing Controllers. The DXE-RSEAV-1 is designed to be a very low-gain, low-noise antenna for greatly improved signal-to-noise performance over a very wide range of frequencies. In a proper single or multi-element array installation, this Receive Vertical antenna will attenuate high-angle skywave signals, which is the goal for a low band DXing receive antenna. Low-angle, long-range DX signals are easier to copy with a good radio and DX Engineering Receive Short Element Active Vertical Antennas. Please Note: To achieve the expected reception pattern, multi-element phased arrays depend upon identical gain and phase response from each element. Every individual element amplifier, its grounding, and even its feedline characteristics and length, must be identical to the others in the array. Therefore, when unrepairable failures occur, it is essential to replace or upgrade all the elements in the array with identical, fully compatible DXE-RSEAV-1 antennas or DXE-AVA-3 units.

DX Engineering A/B Station Selectors
The DX Engineering A/B Station Selector Interlocked Coaxial Relay was designed for two-station multi-operator or SO2R contesting from 160 through 6 meters. Two radio inputs and one output for an amplifier, antenna or another relay, allow the AB Selector to function as two interlocked SPST normally open contact coaxial relays when controlled by a user provided SPDT switch or antenna selection automation. This device is a critical component that enables a single radio to access the shared output port while simultaneously isolating the other radio from that port. With over 80dB of isolation between the selected and unselected ports, there is no danger to the opposite receiver from high energy overload or burnout. In place of a manual switch, the AB Selector can be controlled from a distance, or remotely with automation, to select between two antennas or two remote antenna switches for one station feedline. It can also be used to remotely toggle a transceiver, amplifier or station output to either an antenna switch for normal operations or a dummy load for testing and tuning, instead of using a port on a remote antenna switch for the dummy load. Two A/B Station Selectors may be configured as a DPDT reversing switch, as shown in Figure 2 of the user manual, useful for switching two transceivers to two different towers, two antenna switches or two amplifiers that are tuned to different bands or segments, for Single Operator Two Radio (SO2R) stations. Several AB Selectors can be configured for a Multi-2 or Multi-Multi contest station in combination with third-party multi-port antenna switches and band decoders to create an automated band-specific antenna selector system. Contact DX Engineering for more information. The DX Engineering AB Station Selector is a drop-in replacement for the legacy TopTen Devices A/B Station Selector. This relay device features excellent port-to-port isolation, low SWR and low insertion loss, and is rated for full legal SSB and CW power on the 160 through 6 meter bands. This relay features three UHF female/SO-239 connectors, Radio-A, Radio-B and Common and a removable control connector with compression screw terminals. DC voltage input is +12 to 14VDC @ 110mA with sink-to-ground connections for A or B port selection. Neither A or B port is selected when neither A or B control terminal is grounded. The DX Engineering A/B Station Selector may be used for two different switching systems: one common input to two outputs or two inputs to a single common output. Figure 1 in the user manual shows how to connect a user provided SPST switch and power supply. For example, two radios or two amplifiers connected to A and B, can be switched to connect one antenna or antenna switch on the COMMON. Conversely, a single radio or amplifier connected to the COMMON port can be remotely switched between two antennas connected to A and B, or between two amplifiers feeding separate antennas. Alternatively, a station may use the switch to select between an antenna and a dummy load.

No additional counterpoise wire is necessary; the coax cable serves that function when installed correctly. For best results, use optional 24/26 AWG wire such as CEW-VIZ24-YEL100, a high-visibility, PVC-insulated stranded copper wire. A typical setup uses a sloper configuration, with the feedpoint about 6–7 feet above ground and the wire sloping upward to 25–30 feet. Recommended coax length is 25–35 feet with BNC connectors and adding an optional DXE-LPFC-BNC Feedline Choke at the transceiver end is suggested. While the antenna supports multiple configurations, wire length will vary based on installation.

DX Engineering 80 Meter Full Size Quarter Wave Vertical Antennas
DX Engineering 80 Meter Full Size Quarter Wave Vertical Antennas, model DXE-7580FS-VA-1, are high performance 68 ft. antennas that are tunable to operate over segments of the entire 75/80 meter band with an SWR of 1.5:1 or less! These antennas are a breakthrough in full size, quarter wave verticals that offer full performance, but don't cost an arm and a leg. Plus, if your neighbors are the slightest bit touchy, these are the antennas for you. Their slim lines can hide in even a small stand of tall trees. Some have even painted these antennas the color that matches the bark of their surrounding trees! Designed with 6063 corrosion-resistant aluminum tubing and stainless steel hardware, these 80 meter vertical antennas are very durable and attractive. Because of their full size height and tubing size, rope guying is required on these antennas, typically at two levels. They include the DX Engineering standard stainless steel Tilt Base to allow you to walk the antenna up or down with only a few helpers on the rope guys. These inexpensive 80 meter verticals are ideal for phased arrays! DX Engineering 80 Meter Full Size Quarter Wave Vertical Antennas have a bandwidth that is outstanding—up to 528 kHz under 2:1, depending on your radial field. Your internal tuner can get the SWR down to 1:1 on any DX frequency for maximum power transfer and full performance! Of course, another key to performance is a good ground radial system; we recommend 32 radials, 65 ft. long. Fewer radials will work, but with diminished results. DX Engineering 80 Meter Full Size Quarter Wave Vertical Antennas feature: -- 5 kW SSB and CW rating—unparalleled reliability -- High power handling capacity--high strength, UV-protected EXTREN® insulators -- Ultra-wide SWR bandwidth and unbeaten gain -- Highest wind ratings—Up to 100 mph with proper rope guying --High strength 6063/6061 tubing manufactured to DX Engineering specifications -- Easy tilt up and down— exclusive antenna mount features DX Engineering's patented Tilt Base, *U.S. Patent Number 7,432,875 -- No rust --100 percent stainless steel tubing clamps and hardware -- Reliability second to none--specially manufactured stainless and aluminum saddle clamps, stainless bolts, and precision machining on each antenna Note: For additional information, please look at the files under the "Documentation" tab.

DX Engineering PRO-STACK Broadband Antenna Phasing Switches
DX Engineering PRO-STACK Broadband Antenna Phasing Switches are newly designed to combine two identical Yagi or log periodic beams, or three quarter-wave vertical antennas, into a phased array for enhanced operation. There is no need for coaxial delay lines with the DX Engineering PRO-STACK switches. Just connect your antennas to the phasing switch controller with equal-length 50 ohm lines. PRO-STACK switch units are available with high-quality PTFE-silver plated SO-239 (UHF female) connectors. These relay units are 1-of-3 source voltage controlled at 12-15VDC over a four conductor cable. A matching Control Console is available separately or is included in the PRO-STACK System. These phasing switches can be used for any applications that require the following four basic antenna feed selections: both antenna ports in-phase, both antenna ports out-of-phase, antenna port 1 only, and antenna port 2 only. The default is both output ports in-phase. Impedance matching automatically changes when any antenna port is disconnected. Generally, stacked Yagi antennas are separated vertically greater than 1/2-wavelength free space. Since the DX Engineering PRO-STACK Broadband Antenna Phasing Systems are broadband, they may be easily adapted to larger arrays. For example, four stacked Yagis may be combined by creating two sets of two, and then using a third DX Engineering control console to combine the first two sets. PRO-STACK switches can also be used to feed three quarter wave resonant vertical antennas for a high-gain 4-pattern array. In this arrangement, the center #2 passive element is directly grounded to a good ground radial system at all times, while the end elements #1 and #3 are then fed in various phase relationships by the PRO-STACK. Details are in the complete PRO-STACK PS-2B Instruction Manual linked here in Documentation. Features of the DX Engineering PRO-STACK Broadband Antenna Phasing Switches include these great features: * Power handling up to 5 kW * Broadband coverage on 160-10 meters * High-impact RF shielded weatherproof housing * High-RF tolerant, silver-PTFE SO-239 (UHF female) connectors * Proven DX Engineering RF relays for high performance * Safe 12 VDC relay operation, even on battery or solar power * MOV surge protection on control lines * External, removable control line connector * RoHS-compliant assembly
