DX Engineering Reversible Beverage Antenna System Combos
DX Engineering Reversible Beverage Antenna System Combos allow two Beverage antennas to be switched to receive in opposite directions while sharing the same physical space. These exciting new reversible Beverage combos include DX Engineering's superb receive preamp! Dramatically improved weak signal results can be achieved on MW, BCB, 160, 80 and 40 meter bands and shortwave bands with receive-only Beverage wire antennas that are typically 350 to 800 feet long, depending upon the lowest band of interest. DX Engineering Reversible Beverage System Combos are immune to the strong signal overload and core saturation common in multi-transmitter contesting environments. Reversible Beverages have two antenna F connectors; one "Away" port for the default end-fire receiving pattern off the end of the wire, and one "Toward" port for the opposite direction. Applying a negative 10 to 18 V DC to the feedline switches the system between the two antenna ports for reception in opposite directions. You can build a 4-direction receive antenna system with two reversible Beverage systems and one DX Engineering RLS-2 Two-Port Receiving Switch that also requires only one feedline! The optional DX Engineering Feedline Voltage Coupler, model DXE-FVC-1 is highly recommended to provide all of the required feedline voltage injection. Plus, the optional DXE-EC-4 BCD Control Console completes the system for four-direction switching right in the shack. These RBS systems will work with any 300-600 ohm 2-wire line. For best low-loss low-noise results, use DX Engineering flooded or quad-shielded 75-ohm coax; with our F-type compression connectors to ensure a weatherproof installation. DX Engineering RPA-1 Receive Preamplifiers use RCA-type phono jacks and CATV Type-F female connectors for the input and output connections to prevent accidental connection to transmitting devices. RPA-1 Receive Preamplifiers feature a built-in relay that automatically bypasses the preamplifier circuit when DC power is removed. These high performance devices must be powered with a well filtered and regulated DC power supply and will offer maximum performance at 12 to 18 V DC input.

DX Engineering Receive Four Square Array Electronics Package
DX Engineering Receive Four Square Array Electronics Package, DXE-RFS-SYS-2P, is for the array builder who wants to use their own passive receive verticals for a mono-band receive array. See the DXE-R4S-SYS-V3 for the Complete Receive Four Square V3 Array System with Receive Short Element Active Verticals. DX Engineering Receive Four Square Arrays dramatically improve reception of weak distant signals with excellent rejection of extraneous signals and noise. This four-direction switchable array uses time delay phasing of four physically short receiving vertical elements. The resulting directional receiving pattern is superior to four short Beverage antennas and typical two or three element arrays. The Receive Four Square is less susceptible to high angle signals than EWE, Flag, Pennant, K9AY and SAL antennas. This type of receive array, using physically short vertical elements, limits signal and noise for dramatically superior weak signal reception, as compared to full size transmitting antennas and arrays. With proper spacing of four unobtrusive, physically short vertical elements, the Receive Four Square Array System provides high performance directional receive for HF Amateur, SWL or AM DXing. Click or tap the title of a listed item for an overview - a complete description, Specifications, Required and Suggested Parts. Links to instruction manuals and charts appear in Documentation. DX Engineering Receive Four Square Arrays offer directional performance comparable to four long Beverage wire antennas, using far less land area. This Controller and Switch Console package is designed to be used with four identical, user-supplied, active or passive symmetrically-spaced ground-mounted vertical elements to provide switching for a 4-direction receiving antenna system. Passive elements will generally provide an optimized monoband receiving system. Conversely, with four DX Engineering Receive Short Element Active Vertical antennas, DXE-RSEAV-1, the properly sized array can achieve excellent directional receiving performance over three HF bands. Build an exceptionally effective, electronically rotatable, stationary receive antenna that lets you hear the DX 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; install the DX Engineering Receive Four Square Array System. * Important Note regarding DX Engineering Protection Plans and Kit Combo Contents NOTE: Protection plans cannot be purchased for combination packages or on applicable devices after shipment.

Hi-Z® Antennas PC-8PRO 8 Circle Array Phasing Controller
The Hi-Z Antennas PC-8PRO 8 Circle Array Phasing Controller is the primary component in the Hi-Z Antennas Eight Element V2 Multi-Band 8 Circle Receive Array System, intended for 160-, 80- and 40-meter band coverage, with useful functionality from 500 kHz to 15 MHz. The HIZ-PC-8PRO Phasing Controller and system components combine to provide an effective directional receive pattern that is electronically switchable to eight different directions. The Hi-Z Antennas Eight Element V2 Multi-Band 8 Circle Receive Array System provides enhanced signal-to-noise performance with Receive Directivity Factor (RDF) approaching 12dB and up to 35dB array front-to-back! The HIZ-PC-8PRO is the heart of this antenna which provides dramatically improved reception over transmitting antennas. It properly combines signals from eight receive short element active verticals which are each ground-mounted on a ground rod, in a circle. DXE-RSEAV-1 are sold separately, which use DXE-AVA-3 Element Amplifiers. Sharper cardioid patterns with deeper reverse nulls are developed by the 8 Circle than other arrays. This Phasing Controller and other system components provide an effective receive pattern that can be electronically rotated to eight different directions: typically, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315 and 360 degrees. Standard 85 ft. diameter 8 Circle Arrays provide 160-, 80- and 40-meter band coverage with an exceptional cardioid pattern, supported with the updated delay cables HIZ-DL4-60-85 (Long and Short, sold separately). Alternatively, choose HIZ-DL4-80-113 cables (Long and Short, sold separately) for a 113 ft. diameter 8 circle which increases performance on the 160 and 80 meter bands. The HIZ-MDC-8PRO is the required Manual Directional Control Switch Console, sold separately. The HIZ-PC-8PRO also serves as a replacement part for Hi-Z 8 Circle system owners to order Hi-Z PC-8PRO V2 Phasing Controller. See the listing for more information.
