The BevFlex-4X is the updated and improved version of W8GNM’s antenna design that uses low-cost, low-loss RG-6 coaxial cable for the elements and the feedline for a Reversible Elevated Beverage, Reversible Beverage-on-Ground (BOG), EWE, Flag or VE3DO loop antenna. The BevFlex-4X allows hams to place and connect the feedpoint unit anywhere along the length of an Elevated Beverage or BOG antenna, rather than only at one end or the other. This flexibility allows an operator to position the feed at a more optimal location, such as closer to the shack. Operators can install two BevFlex-4X systems at right angles to cover all four quadrants of the compass. The antenna enables operators to instantly switch to the reverse direction regardless of the configuration. The system includes a feed unit, two terminator units, and a control switch unit. The new BevFlex-4X-Q combines two sets of terminator and feed units with the RAS-4 remote antenna switch to let you hear better in all four quadrants.

Plus, it’s fully enclosed in a weathertight, plastic housing, making it a great option if you deploy your Beverage antenna year-round. The BT-75 also has a built-in gas discharge tube for protection against lightning strikes. Integrated flanges make it easy to mount, too. UMS-BT-75 Beverage Antenna Transformer .... $37.95 Antenna Splitter Amplifiers The ASA-15 Antenna Splitter Amplifier distributes the signal of one receiving antenna to up to five receivers. Each of the five outputs has an individually selectable wideband amplifier with 12 dB gain. A 15 dB attenuator is integrated in the input to reduce strong signals. The internal distribution is done with low-noise amplifiers, which isolate outputs and receivers from each other. A power supply (12VDC/1A) is included. The ASA-16 Antenna Splitter Amplifier makes one antenna shareable with up to six independent receivers. When its PTT input is engaged, all receivers are isolated by more than 60 dB (at 12 MHz) from the input. The ASA-62 Antenna Splitter Amplifier allows you to distribute up to six 9kHz-70MHz antenna signals to up to two receivers. Each input is buf ered by a low-noise amplifier (AD8099) so that the signals cannot influence each other. Front-panel pushbuttons provide simple operation. The ASA-62 can also be operated remotely. A power supply cable is included. Enter "ELAD Splitter" at DXEngineering.com for more details.
