Not exactly an antenna, but an outdoor control hub for multiple Beverage receive antennas. Photo is looking into the cabinet with the front door open. Currently configured for two bi-directional plus two single-directional antennas (total of six directions). The antennas attach to feed-thru insulators, on the back of the cabinet, leading to in-line fuses, and then to either DXE-RBS for the reversible Beverages or DXE-BFS for the single direction ones. A DXE-RR8-HP provides selection of one of the six directions while terminating each of the unselected directions. The common signal is directed to a DXE-RPA amplifier followed by a DXE-RFCC feedline choke. All of the units are mounted to lexan panels which allows for isolating them from the cabinet/coax ground, i.e. the ground for the shield of the coax feedline leading to the shack is independent of the grounds of the Beverage transformer primaries. A compromise at the moment is that the Beverages do have their grounds tied together, but they could be readily seperated.
