*New Auto Tuned Stealth Antenna (ATSA) design concept from DX Engineering

Also great for EMCOMM - just preassemble and deploy in minutes!*

Living in an area where antennas are not allowed?  DX Engineering has 
designed a complete antenna system that will allow Amateur Radio 
Operators living even under the shadow of HOA controlled areas to get on 
the air easily. Typically, with even a short 26 foot wire antenna, you 
can be on the air on all bands 40M and up – and with only 45 feet of 
wire you can be on all bands 80M - 10M!  This is due to the patented* 
ATSA MatchBoxx™ module which allows use of almost any length wire - no 
more "forbidden" lengths as with other end-fed systems.

Most small, physically short antennas exhibit narrow bandwidth - 
limiting your operating frequency range on the lower bands to 50 to 100 
kHz with acceptable SWR.  The SMBA's integral auto tuner always delivers 
*the lowest possible SWR at any operating frequency* with no operator 
adjustments necessary.  Just change bands and the ATSA antenna will 
follow you!

The very low profile Remote Tuning Unit [RTU] is easily hidden - even in 
small bushes or shrubs - and the only thing that shows is the wire 
antenna element which can be very small diameter for a near-zero visual 
impact.  This is a complete system including the tuner, stainless steel 
radial plate, the radial wire, all hardware - and even the antenna wire 
and 2 insulators.  We supply nearly everything that you will need for a 
no-compromise installation that will get you on the air and operating 
right under their noses.

Just “plant” it in the bushes with supplied spikes and lay out the 
minimum length radials. You can further camouflage the controller with a 
plastic boulder or other items available at most landscaping stores!

This system can be used if your shack is on the main floor, basement or 
any other location as long as you can  run any size coaxial cable to the 
RTU located outside. There are no extra control lines necessary since 
the RTU is completely self contained, and even the power necessary to 
run it is carried by the coaxial cable. There is no additional coaxial 
cable loss due to high SWR, since the RTU will automatically match your 
coaxial cable to the antenna at any HF frequency within seconds. The 
tuner will handle up to 200 watts. *This stealthy antenna system has all 
you need to really enjoy your hobby!*

The included tuner includes a highly efficient switching L-network with 
wide matching capability, 1.8 to 30 MHz coverage, and heavy-duty 10 
amp/1000 volt relays. It is rated at 200 watts SSB/CW. Furnished with 
Bias Tee for inserting 12 VDC from your power source (or DXE-PSW-12D1A 
power supply

on the coaxial cable to the remote tuner.
