92 Receiving Feedpoint Voltage Coupler • Inject control voltages onto feedline • Injects +/- 12 Vdc or 12 Vac • For use with DXE-RBSA-1P Reversible Beverage Systems • Required 120VAC to 12VAC supply is included DXE-FVC-1 Feedpoint Voltage Coupler .........$185.99 2-Port Receiving Antenna Switch Select one of two output ports (generally connected to dif erent receiving antennas) from one feedline using the DXE-RLS-2. Install the DXE-RLS-2 with two DXE-RBSA-1A Reversible Beverage Antenna Systems and select four directions using a single main feedline. Install one or more DXE-RLS-2 switches to expand larger Beverage arrays and share the feedline back to the operating position. Applying a nominal 12 Vac or DC control voltage through the feedline activates transfer to port 2. Use DX Engineering’s DXE-FVC-1 Voltage Coupler to supply the control voltage through the feedline. Benefits • Metal housings used for superior shielding and improved life • High-quality components • Reliable CATV F connectors standard • Broad 0.3 to 30 MHz operating range with 75 Ω systems • Jumper-selectable—control voltage pass-through to the selected port DXE-RLS-2 Receiving Antenna Switch ......................................................$115.99 Reversible Beverage System The DXE-RBSA-1P allows two Beverage antennas receiving in opposing directions to share the same space. With the DXE-RBSA-1P, you can build a 2-wire reversible Beverage antenna system with superior signal-to-noise ratio, most useful at 160, 80 and 40M bands. The W8JI design consists of a Feedpoint System and Reflection Transformer. You can operate and even confirm the F/R ratio of this antenna at any time from the operating position. This system is immune to strong signal overload and core saturation common in multi-transmitter contesting environments, and is used by winning contest stations and low-band DXers. The DXE-RBSA-1P has two antenna ports. The standard configuration of the DXE-RBSA-1P has one port terminated (termination included) so both antennas share a common feedline. Applying 10 to 18 Vdc to the feedline switches between the antenna, and the direction of reception. For simultaneous reception from opposing directions, each of the two feedlines connect to a separate receiver. While the DXE-RBSA-1P is optimized to use 450 Ω ladder line for the antenna element, the system will work with any 300-600 Ω 2-wire line. 450 Ω ladder line is available from DX Engineering, sold separately. DX Engineering also sells quality 75 Ω coax and F connectors for outdoor installations. Benefits • Broad operating range, 0.2 to 30 MHz • Fully isolated grounds used to prevent common-mode noise and unwanted signals • 75 Ω design enables the use of high quality, low cost cable with F connectors • Metal housings used for superior shielding and improved life DXE-RBSA-1P Reversible Beverage Feed System ..................................... $309.98 DXE-TB-5P Tilt Base for DXE-RBSA-1P .....................................................$24.49 DXE-TB-5P Time Variable Sequence Unit Protect your active antennas, transmit/ receive relays and other equipment with this sequence unit. You get full control of the timing between your radio and your amplifier. This microprocessor-controlled unit provides 0-30 milliseconds of delay, in 2 millisecond increments to as many as 5 outputs that are initiated by your CW keying or external PTT footswitch or hand switch, not by the radio. The device has a built-in side tone generator for CW. Which means you can listen to what you’re keying while it’s being held in the bucket brigade delay for transmit af er the programmed delay. This side tone is adjustable from 300 to 000 Hz in 50 Hz steps. The unit supports full break-in CW and requires 13.8 Vdc. It also allows you to use DX Engineering’s Active Receive Antennas in close proximity to your transmit antennas. DXE-TVSU-1B Time Variable Sequence Unit .............................................$319.99 Receive Feedline Current Choke The Receive Feedline Current Choke (RFCC) is the most ef ective solution to common-mode noise or unwanted signal ingress in receiving systems available. It provides thousands of ohms isolation between the input and output coaxial shield connections while passing desired signals, including DC or low frequency AC control signals. The RFCC has extremely high isolation impedance, which ef ectively blocks common-mode noise or unwanted signals, even in the presence of very poor grounding. The RFCC is ef ective from 300 kHz to 30 MHz. It comes with standard type F female connectors, although it can be used in any 50 to 75 Ω receiving system. DXE-RFCC-1 Receive Feedline Current Choke, 50/75 Ω, 0.3-30 MHz ............$129.99 Single Direction Beverage Feed System The DXE-BFS-1 is a single-wire Beverage Feed System. This W8JI design is immune to strong signal overload and core saturation common in multi-transmitter contesting environments, and is used by winning contest stations and low-band DXers. The unit uses an isolated-winding, matching transformer system to significantly increase the signal-to-noise ratio in Beverage and other high impedance antennas. The DXE-BFS-1 works with antenna impedances from 400-500 Ω. Included with the DXE-BFS-1 is a 470 Ω, 2 watt non-inductive resistor that withstands nearby lightning strikes significantly better than hard-to-find carbon composition resistors. Feedline impedance on the DXE-BFS-1 is designed for 75 Ω, although it will work with 50 Ω coax. The DXE-BFS-1 uses an industry standard CATV F connector. DX Engineering sells quality 75 Ω coax and F connectors for outdoor installations. Benefits • 100 kHz to 30 MHz operating range • Spark gaps minimize damage from lightning • Wing nut terminals eliminate soldering • Metal housings used for superior shielding and improved life • Flange-mount holes for easy mounting • Ground isolated secondary essential for building Beverage arrays DXE-BFS-1 Beverage Feed System, with One Resistor........................ $115.99 DXE-ECM-R470-2 470 Ω, 2 Watt Resistor, Lightning Damage-Resistant, Pack of 10 ...............................................................................$31.99 DXE-BFS-1 Hi-Z Now Part of DX Engineering Family of Brands In 2022, DX Engineering acquired Hi-Z Antennas, including their HF directional receiving array products, ensuring that the company's most popular of erings will continue to be available to hams worldwide.
