Wisycom LFA Wideband Active Antenna

Made to aim reception at an RF zone, the Wisycom LFA is a wideband active antenna with remote controlled filters. Its directional, skeletal design covers 410 to 1300 MHz and keeps wind load low.

Inside, a bank of filters sits ahead of a low noise amplifier with -12 to +27 dB of gain in 1 dB steps. You set the filters and the gain with four buttons and a color TFT display on the antenna. You can also set them remotely over the same coax from a Wisycom MAT244 or MAT288 combiner, SPL2208 or SPL2216 splitter, MRK16 rack, or BFL-T2 fiber module.

The F2 version sold here has a 40 MHz tunable filter anywhere from 430 to 730 MHz and a fixed filter for 940 to 960 MHz. Its selectable filters add high pass points at 470, 520, and 550 MHz and low pass points at 617, 663, and 698 MHz. Switching the antenna off disables an RF zone.

The epoxy fiberglass body has a black textured, weather-resistant finish and gasket seals against water. It mounts on a 5/8 in stand thread, or a 3/8 in thread with an adapter, and comes with a BNC or N connector.
