Check the voltage at the antenna or move the DC supply to the base of the antenna. If it works well there you will know the problem is in the cable run to the combiner. If not, you know it’s likely th

If you are that close to transmit antennas and towers, the direction pattern of the SAL may be seriously degraded, which is a separate issue from the induced voltages when transmitting. 73 John N5CQ

Rich, I have tried it with and without https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-rfcc-1 and it makes no perceived difference in receive performance, but I just feel better about it. I also have tried it

Works great – avoids deer but not icing! Auger to install fence posts, then cut them with a chain saw to get the tops level. 73 John N5CQ

All else being equal, beverages work best over rocky low conductivity soil, which I have. I replaced my beverages with an SAL30, which performs just as well, or better than 580’ beverages, and it offe

Pete, My run is about 200’. I found a septic system installer and they have a little one man ‘ditch witch’ machine that is designed to dig shallow trenches all day. I marked the route with spray paint

I use a copper entrance panel and everything is bonded to it. The protector is mounted to the panel just inside the feed through hole. The “TV class” F connectors from Home Depot etc. have corroded fr

I would ground the outer conductor at the antenna end and put the protector just at the entrance to the shack, hopefully with a perimeter ground that all the equipment is bonded to. Watch out for chea

Last minute trip cancellation means I might contribute to club score for ARRL 160. Station checks show SAL30 problem: distorted pattern and low signal strength when switched to NW/SE orientation for J

15 VDC supply recommended and works better than just using 12V. I have a 200+ foot run. See https://www.arraysolutions.com/as-sal-30-mk2 power supply available separately. 73 John N5CQ

Rich, Mine is mounted on wooden poles. I took the bottom mast section with me and found 2 PVC plumbing pieces at the Home Depot which worked for the base. The vertical piece is a "cleanout drain' with

Rich, I have about a 250' run to an SAL-30 and I use the quad shielded RG6 equivalent from DXE, buried in conduit. IMHO the key issue is the integrity of the low voltage DC connection for the relay co

The other point of failure I have experienced is the connections at the loop couplers. See pg 9 of the manual at http://dxsupply.com/produktfiler/AS-SAL-Manual_R1.10.pdf The connection between the fee

Went back to the 15V supply – more clutter in the rack but the relays hold in now! I am going to check all the connections to be sure nothing is loose. BTW What other things do people have in the feed

I believe the K9AY works best over an area of high ground conductivity, while the SAL30 is relatively independent of it, so that may be a factor in choosing. In my case, the SAL30 replaced 2 reversibl

Using a standard 12V Astron supply – nominally 13.6 V. The RG6 feedline is underground in conduit except for the last few feet that go up the pole to the above ground mount. Hopefully Dx and treatment

I am going to take a power supply and the controller to the base of the antenna and see if the behavior changes. I have about a 150’’ run from the shack to the SAL30, which is up on poles. 73 John N5C

Strange new problem on SAL-30: no received signals. Signals come back when I turn the loop controller off then on, but disappear again in about 2 seconds. Same thing if I switch directions, or from un
