Linear EXA-1000 Omni-Directional Antenna

Linear Access EXA-1000 Omni-Directional Antenna

The EXA-1000 Remote Antenna is designed to enhance the radio range of Linear’s receivers. This antenna can be connected to the “F” connector on many Linear receivers to improve their range when they must be located in poor signal reception locations. Usually an increase of 20-30% range can be expected. The versatile EXA-1000 can be mounted in a variety of ways. A 2-inch U-bolt is supplied for post or pipe mounting, or the U-bolt holes in the Base Plate can be used to screw the antenna to a wall or vertical wood brace or beam.

Generally, the higher the antenna is mounted above ground level, the better the radio range will be. The EXA-1000 provides maximum performance when mounted and installed properly according to these instructions.

The EXA-1000 is a 1/2 wave, center fed, vertical antenna composed of three parts: an Antenna assembly with an “F” connector attachment; a Base Plate assembly with radial mounting provisions; and a five-foot, 75-ohm coaxial cable. The cable connects to the antenna base on one end and the receivers “F” connector on the other. If the antenna must be mounted further than five feet from the receiver, an extension cable of up to a maximum of 25 feet may be used instead of the five foot cable supplied. Because of the cable resistance, the performance of the EXA-1000 may be degraded by using longer than a 25 foot cable.
