Receivers
Our radio direction finders can be used with an narrow band FM receiver. The only connections required are to the antenna input and the external speaker output. However, if you want to display the signal strength, a connection is needed to the receiver's RSSI output. Also, if you want to control the receiver using our software programs SignalTrack, AutoTrack or BearingTrack, a compatible serial port is required. The following receivers are recommended when these functions are required.
| Receiver | Calibration | RSSI | Serial Control | Cable Set |
| ICOM R8500 | Default Bearing & RSSI calibration tables stored in DDF5931, DDF6001 & DDF6002 |
AGC jack on rear panel | CIV jack on rear panel | DDF6315 |
| AOR AR5000 | Default Bearing & RSSI calibration tables stored in DDF6001 & DDF6002 |
Special connector on rear panel |
RS232 connector on rear panel |
DDF6316 |
| AOR AR8600 | Default Bearing & RSSI calibration tables stored in DDF6001 & DDF6002 |
DIN connector on rear panel |
RS232 connector on rear panel |
DDF6317 |
| ICOM R1500 & R2500 | Default Bearing & RSSI calibration tables stored in DDF6001 & DDF6002 |
Requires PC | USB connector on rear panel |
TBD |
| AOR AR5001D | Customer is required to calibrate to a source at a know location |
Not supported | RS232 connector on rear panel |
TBD |
Note: The frequency control functions in the SignalTrack application requires the use of one of these receivers. Other receivers may be used however, they will need to be manually tuned. Therefore, receivers other than the ones listed above are not recommended for networked applications.
Custom Products
We also make custom enclosures for both mobile antennas and for complete DF packages. For more details refer to our Custom Products page.
