Rawturnip Posted April 13, 2018 Report Posted April 13, 2018 Hey Guys, what do I need to utilise Shark Fin Antennas from my bag/cart? I run 3 Micron Explorers and want to increase the range. I've seen passive and active antennas and also distribution units. I need a simple straightforward solution please. P.
Pontec Posted April 13, 2018 Report Posted April 13, 2018 Hi, I also have some Microns (SDR550). I use Zaxcom Bluefin passive antennas, and ZFSC-4-1 SMA passive splitters on each antenna. There is about 6dB RF attenuation on each output but Bluefins have +8dB gain. This substantially increases my range for a reasonable cost. Active antennas & distribution are much more expensive, but not very useful in my case as long as I can keep my antennas near my recorder (coax cable lenght < 2m , rf loss is not significant). I hope this helps, Tristan
Mark LeBlanc Posted April 14, 2018 Report Posted April 14, 2018 I Have two sets of Microns for my Boom Ops. I use the PSC SMA antenna splitter and have had excellent results.
