TC – 6527-4, 108 to 174 MHz

TC-6527-4 Eight Element Doppler

Description + Specifications

tc65274

Description

The TC-6527-4 is designed to cover the VHF marine and aircraft bands. The full-wavelength aperture greatly reduces the influence of multi-path as compared to the smaller 4-element configuration. The TC- 6527-4 is intended for fixed land-based installations or for use on larger vessels. It is fully weatherproof and construction is suitable for use in salt water areas.

The antenna electronics is located in the hub, right at the antenna. This insures that RF losses through the cables do not degrade system sensitivity. The antenna can be located up to 100 feet (30 meters) from the DF Processor. For longer runs, consult TechComm. The TC-6527-4 is compatible with all TechComm DF Processors.

The antenna should be mounted above all nearby obstructions, especially in the direction to be covered.
