[Premium-Rx] RACAL HF ACTIVE ANTENNA AE3001/A/C/LP2 PART NO. 580-000 RACAL ANTENNAS UK LTD

[R at 14971]

Hi Dave,

I use two of these at my location (one has operated continuously for 15 
years without a break).
They are brilliant - and go right up to VHF-ish.

Mine are 12v seperately driven, but use a home-made bias-t so the signal 
RF doesn't go via the power supply, and the DC doesn't cook the Rx input.

Regards - Richard G8WKA
