MHU 3-X
Dual-Frequency Mobile Antenna for the 160 and 450 MHz
Bands
DESCRIPTION
Field-tunable dual-frequency antenna which makes it possible to:
- operate 160 and 450 MHz transceivers alternately on the same
antenna
- operate two transceivers (160 and 450 MHz) at the same time on one
antenna using a diplexer (type DIPX 225/330 – must be ordered
separately).
Only a single hole has to be drilled instead of two.
Car appearance is not destroyed by an “antenna farm”.
Ideal for covert services.
Stainless steel X-mount with M6-thread whip-fastening system.
Simple mounting exclusively with access from the outside.
Choice between two connection principles:
X-mount: FME-connection (supplied without cable).
XP4-mount: Permanently attached 4 m cable terminated with FME-
connector.

OPERATION USING A DIPLEXER
In case of operating two transceivers on one antenna at the same time, a
diplexer, type DIPX 225/330 is necessary to complete the system. The tasks
of the diplexer are to protect the two receiver inputs from being destroyed
by the transmitter in the contrary band, and to ensure a low-loss path
between the transceiver and the antenna, which is not loaded by the other
branch. For further details please see the separate data sheet on the DIPX
225/330. The diplexer fully covers both bands and, consequently, tuning to
specific frequencies is not required.
