[SFDXA] DX Engineering AVA-2 Active Receive Vertical Antenna Matching - Only One Left

[Michael Raskin]

Last one left – the other 3 have already sold to club members.

For sale is a DX Engineering AVA-2 Active Receive Vertical Antenna Matching Unit, with the mounting plates, ground clamp, hardware, FVI-1 voltage injector, and the 102” whip element. This unit is new and has been weather-sealed, but has never been outside.  I bought four of these several years ago to use as a 4-square receive antenna system for 160 and 80, but decided to go with two vertical with the DX Engineering NCC-2 Receive Antenna Phasing Controller.  This is what I am using as a receive only antenna for the low bands.  You could use only a single receive whip and still get good results, As you know, reducing noise on the low bands is better than increasing signal strength.

Features of AVA-2 Active Receive Antennas include:
* Sensitive--weak-signal sensitivity rivaling full size antennas
* Wide bandwidth--100 kHz to 30 MHz
* Excellent strong-signal handling--outstanding Third Order Intercept of +30 dBm
* Reduced noise--quiet FET followers and exceptional feedline shield isolation
* Designed for 8.5 ft. vertical whip and ground rod connection
* High speed relay grounds element at power-off
* Requires 13.8 VDC on the RG-6 feedline from DXE FVI-1 which is supplied

All you need to get going is a ground rod for mounting the unit and RG-6 feedline.  $75.  Pickup in Stuart or Tamarac.  Shipping would be expensive since the whip is 8.5 ft. 
long and requires special packaging.
