hi, i'm looking for a new antenna
what is better:
1)
RADAR-EXTENDER Antenna
1m low loss cable Westflex-103
Mast pre-amplifier AS-1090
10 or 20m low loss cable Westflex-103
AS-1090BT Bias-T for DC-Feed
1m Cable BNC/SMA
All connectors included
2)
WiMo GP-1090
AMP: Kuhne electronic KU LNA 1090 A TM
Cable: 20m of ECOFLEX 15
Samsung NC10 for 24/7 operation other (more powerful) Quad Core PC with 24''
3)The HBA-1090
About the amplifier:
Previously I had the AS-1090, but I have switched to the Kuhne. The results: A few more miles range and a better "edge" reception.
Attention: The AS-1090 has a Signal-Bypass-Relay, but the Kuhn hasn't one. This means: If the Power-Supply for the Amplifier is gone, you will still have a (weaker) Signal with the AS-1090. With the Kuhne the Signal will be totally gone.
About the cable:
The Westflex-103 will have a Loss of about 13dB per 100m at 1090MHz (ADS-B frequency)
The ECOFLEX-15 will have a Loss of about 9dB per 100m at 1090MHz.
Especially if you have more than 10m between the Antenna and the Receiver, the ECOFLEX will give a little more Signal on the edge. If you have around 5m Cable length there would be no big difference between the two cables.
Remark: With an outer diameter of 14.6mm the ECOFLEX is not that easy to handle. The Westflex-103 with 10,3mm would be more "courteous".
I have a 2nd hand WiMo GP-1090 Outdoor antenna for sale. This is the antenna only so no cable, amplifiers. I am selling on behalf of a friend. When taken down it was in excellent working order and includes the mounting brackets and screws. It had been up for about 1 year. This antenna made a huge difference of the standard RB antenna and range went up from about 120NM to sometime over 220NM. As per the WiMo site, it has a female N connector.
