Beverage 2 is added as a Vertical Antenna Array using built in template for "Vertical Array Antenna,
9.
Other without Omni type." Except for the Control box (ADR: 055 Unit 2 (uLINK RELAY 6)) and Fixed
Azimuth (45 degrees), the other parameters are identical to Beverage 1.
INV Vee, is added as a Simple Antenna. Directionality is set to Bi-directional, Fixed azimuth to 315 deg
10.
on the Directions tab. Frequency range is set to 1800-2000kHz for RX, and 1810-1850kHz for TX. No
other settings required.
Low Dipole is added as a Simple Antenna. It is marked Bi-directional with 315 degree Fixed azimuth on
11.
the Directions tab. Frequency range is set on the Rules tab to 3500-4000kHz for RX with two separate
segments, 3500-3600kHz, and 3700-3800kHz for TX. Frequency control is configured with Add Control
to select ADR: 048, Unit 3 (uLINK RELAY 10) with Output Count = 1, frequency range is set for two
segments based on TX frequency.
Since we must bypass the preamps in RFS-2 and LNA 1 when transmitting on the Low Dipole, we need
to add another control. Using Add Control we select ADR: 056, Unit 3 (uLINK RELAY 6) as a sequencer
unit. Hold and Invert are checked, Lead time is set to 0, Tail delay to 10ms, switching delay to 5ms, and
Frequency range 3500-4000kHz.
Vertical is added as Simple Antenna and set to Omni-directional. Frequency range is set to 1800-
12.
7300kHz for RX with three separate segments for RX/TX. Frequency Control Using Add control added
uLINK RELAY unit for frequency control. Output count set to 8, Follow set to TX frequency and entered
nine band segments for antenna matching. Control box is set to ADR: 048, Unit 1 (uLINK RELAY 10).
RFS-2, added as Vertical Antenna Array using built in template for RFS-2. Direction is set to for Fixed
13.
azimuth to 315 deg (NW default direction). Control box is set to ADR: 046, Unit 2 (uLINK RELAY 10),
Output count 2. Frequency range is set for 1800-7300kHz as RX only range.
14.
Radio assignment is set to SMD ADR=001.
Power Amplifier is added as Two-Port Device. Because PA is controlled from local PA port of SMD the
15.
default uLINK DATA control is removed and local PA control is added. Frequency range is set for 1800-
54000kHz. CI-V function set to TX frequency, KeyIn checked and KeyIn timeout set to 5ms according to
PA specifications. Control box is set to address, ADR=001, (local PA).
LNA 1 is added as Two-Port Device. Frequency range is
16.
set for 1800-7300kHz, RX only. Using Add control we
add a uLINK RELAY sequencer unit to provide power to
the RFS-2 and LNA 1 when antenna is in use. Invert
checked, Lead time is set to 0, Tail delay to 10ms, and
switching delay to 5ms. Frequency range
1800-7300kHz and control box is set to ADR: 056, Unit 1
(uLINK RELAY 6).
In order to allow the PATH properties button to manually
bypass LNA 1, we add a uLINK Relay manual control.
The units is configured set as shown in the picture. The
button is labeled LNA. The control box is set to ADR: 056, Unit 4 (uLINK RELAY 6).
LNA 2 is added as Two-Port Device. Frequency range is set for 1800-10200kHz, RX only. Again, to allow
17.
bypassing the LNA using the PATH properties we add a uLINK RELAY manual control. The MAN control
is set exactly same as for LNA 1. The Control box is set to ADR: 055, Unit 3 (uLINK RELAY 6).
18.
LNA 3, added as Two-Port Device. Frequency range is set for 1800-10200kHz, RX only. Like LNA 2, to
allow bypassing the LNA using the PATH properties we add a uLINK RELAY manual control. The MAN
control is set exactly same as for LNA 1. The Control box is set to ADR: 055, Unit 4 (uLINK RELAY 6).
