Description
The Linear EXA-1000 Omni-directional Remote Antenna (LIN-EXA-1000) is a purpose-built upgrade that boosts the radio reach of Linear receivers, ideal for installations where signals are weak or inconsistent. Its 360-degree coverage and flexible mounting simplify deployments in challenging environments.
- Frequency Range: 288–320 MHz omni-directional reception to extend reach for Linear systems.
- Compatibility: Works with all Linear receivers that use a Type F antenna connector, enabling a seamless upgrade without replacing existing gear.
- Antenna Design: 1/2 wave, center-fed vertical radiator with an omni-directional pattern for uniform coverage around the installation.
- Mounting Options: Includes a 2-inch U-bolt for post or pipe mounting, plus a Base Plate with radial mounting provisions for wall or vertical brace installation.
- Cable Assembly: Five-foot, 75-ohm coaxial cable connects the antenna base to the receiver; extension cables up to 25 feet are supported. Longer runs can degrade performance due to added coax resistance.
- Dimensions: 3" W x 19.5" H x 6" D, a compact profile designed for versatile placement.
- Performance Uplift: In typical deployments, you can expect a 20–30% increase in radio range, especially when the antenna is mounted higher above ground level.
- Omni-directional Advantage: No aiming required to maintain reception, which simplifies installation in hard-to-cover sites.
- Ideal For: Installations where signal reception is challenged by distance, terrain, or obstacles, offering a practical upgrade path without replacing Linear receivers.
This antenna is a practical, purpose-driven upgrade for Linear systems. Use the standard five-foot cable for most setups, and extend up to 25 feet if you need the antenna farther from the receiver—just stay within the recommended length to preserve signal integrity. Mounting higher often translates to a stronger, more reliable link, reducing dead zones in expansive or obstructed environments like multi-story facilities, rural outposts, or industrial yards. The LIN-EXA-1000 delivers a straightforward improvement that helps you maintain stable, consistent reception without changing your existing Linear receivers.
