AN-48x
Item Details

TECSUN AN-48x is an active loop antenna for enhancing shortwave (SW), medium wave (MW/AM) and longwave (LW) reception.

Unlike previous models (DE31MS, A38-LMS) available through Anon-Co, the AN-48x is supplied with adapters to connect the antenna to BNC and RCA sockets. This greatly simplifies hooking up the antenna to TECSUN receivers like S-2000 and S-8800, while it is just as easy to use with H-501, PL-990, PL-880 and the rest of the "PL"-family.

AN-48x also works with portable radios that do not have an external antenna jack!

Effective Frequency Range:

Longwave: 120 ~ 400 kHz

Medium Wave (AM): 520 ~ 1700 kHz

Shortwave: 3500 ~ 20,000 kHz


Basic Operation:

1) After connecting the antenna to the radio, tune the radio to a desired radio station.

2) Switch the antenna amplifier to the corresponding frequency band and power on the control box.

3) Adjust the frequency and signal level knobs to enhance the signal.



Shortwave Operation:

Connect AN-48x to the external SW antenna jack of your radio, if available. If not available, use the Black and Red connectors to connect the antenna with the telescopic antenna of your radio and a self-made ground wire.


Medium Wave (AM) & Longwave Operation:

Connect AN-48x to the external MW/LW antenna jack of your radio, if available. If not available, connect the control box to the included ferrite coupler and place it near the built-in MW antenna of your radio. For pocket sized radios, use the included base station to keep the ferrite coupler near the MW antenna more conveniently.

2 x AAA battery (not included)
