Description
The Linear EXA-2000 Directional Remote MegaCode Antenna is an external, directional antenna designed to extend the reach of Linear receivers in weak-signal environments. It’s optimized for 318 MHz MegaCode remotes, delivering more reliable remote operation when distance or obstacles challenge your setup.
- Frequency Range: 288–320 MHz with optimization for 318 MHz MegaCode remotes to maximize compatibility and reception.
- Design: Directional 1/2 wave center-fed antenna that concentrates reception toward the intended receiver direction, boosting effective range.
- Compatibility: Works with Linear receivers that use a Type F antenna connector for a straightforward upgrade path.
- Physical Dimensions: 21" W x 5" H x 1.5" D, a compact external antenna suitable for exterior mounting without excessive footprint.
- Coaxial Cable & Connectors: Includes a 10 ft 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F connector for quick, reliable setup.
- Mounting Options: Mountable vertically or horizontally using the included two mounting brackets and clamp, offering flexible placement for optimal line-of-sight.
- Extension Cable: Optional 15 ft extension cable allows up to 25 ft total run; note that longer runs may degrade performance due to cable resistance.
- Performance Uplift: Typical range increase of 20–30%, enhancing reliability in challenging or obstructed locations.
- Included Materials: Antenna assembly with 10 ft coax, two mounting brackets, a clamp, and an installation manual for a smooth setup.
By adding the EXA-2000, you gain more consistent reception where the receiver previously struggled, enabling reliable remote operation and reducing missed signals. Elevating the antenna higher and orienting it toward the receiver can further improve signal strength and coverage, making this a practical upgrade for outdoor installations such as gates or distant control zones.
