54 AlexLoop HamPack Portable Magnetic Loop Antenna System PY1AHD, Alexandre Grimberg brings more than five decades of Amateur Radio experience and a passion for portable HF operation to the new AlexLoop HamPack, the ultimate portable magnetic loop antenna solution for the outdoor radio operations enthusiast and the space-restricted Ham. Building on the success of his Walkham model, the HamPack system comes with the widely acclaimed AlexLoop. This lightweight and compact (three foot in diameter when assembled) transceive QRP magnetic loop antenna for 40-10 meters can be easily taken into the field and assembled in less than two minutes. Bring it along for stealthy operating while on vacation, mounted in a window or on a balcony. Features include maximum power of 25W PEP SSB, 10W FM/AM and Digital; low-loss PL-259 connectors; and antenna tuning in five seconds on any frequency between 7 and 30 MHz. 8.5' coaxial cable with BNC connector included. How does it perform? Field tests have yielded more than 800 QRP DX contacts, including a distance world record. For convenient transport, the antenna now comes with a full-size backpack featuring two reinforced pouches—one for accessories and the other to accommodate any size QRP rig. The large, precisely-printed scale that displays the range of frequencies, a very smooth geared tuning system, and the exclusive AlexTune LED Indicator make tuning this portable magnetic loop super easy. The AlexTune also works with other small transmit magnetic loop antennas (from 2 to 20 watts on SSB and 1 to 10 watts on CW/ FM/Digital) that use PL-259 connectors and a coaxial cable radiator like the AlexLoop. The RC-2 HamPack Remote Tuning System eliminates the need to be near the antenna to make frequency and band changes. Easily select the desired band and frequency by turning the VFO-style knob. The Remote Tuning System can be purchased separately or as a combo with the AlexLoop HamPack Portable Magnetic Loop Antenna System.

DX Engineering is proud to of er popular and proven “Loop Antennas by I3VHF”—the BABY Loop model (6.6-29.8 MHz) and MIDI Loop (3.5-14.5 MHz), both manufactured to the highest standards by Italy's Ciro Mazzoni. They’re compact, quiet, easy-to-install and ideal when you’re dealing with limited space but still want higher-power handling compared to other transmitting loops. Perfect for stealth HOA, these solidly constructed aluminum antennas include the ATU 2.0 Automatic Tuning Unit to resonate the loop throughout their wide frequency ranges: 80 through 20 meters for the MIDI Loop, 40 through 10 meters with the BABY, without any coverage gap. The ICOM-CAT-CBL interface cable for the ATU 2.0 unit in BABY, MIDI, and STEALTH loop antennas connects ICOM transceivers equipped with computer ports for frequency specific automatic tuning. Other brand radios are interfaced to the ATU 2.0 with RS-232 cables. For complete details, enter “MZZ” at DXEngineering.com.
