sirius permanent mount antenna
does anyone know if there is a sirius permanent mount antenna
available for a vehicle. Something where the antenna may be permanently attached to the body and the coax is fed in the body under the antenna? |

I think they are not just passive antennae but have at least a head amplifier in them. Check your local truck stop. I know T/A truckstops usually carry a couple. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

I think they are not just passive antennae but have at least a head amplifier in them. Check your local truck stop. I know T/A truckstops usually carry a couple. I think ALL of these antennas have what amounts to an LNB. Which is one of the reasons why they're so expensive (you don't think someone would discount them deeply, thus starting a price dive to more reasonable profit margins?). Also, since the coax feed that comes from my magnetic-mount is so small, I'd expect that the losses from a passive antenna, combined with feedline loss, would result in an unusable signal. Thus, after first pickup, there's a stage or two of amplification, along with a conversion to a more reasonable frequency for further manipulation by the satellite receiver proper. This is no different than the way TV DTH receivers work, the only difference being that TV, which requires a better signal-to-noise ratio because of the wider bandwidth, also uses a directional antenna to improve the received signal. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- There must always be the appearance of lawfulness....especially when the law's being broken. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- For direct replies, take out the contents between the hyphens. -Really!- |
