The Remote Alpha Loop Kit, which enables Alpha Loop Antenna systems with an X-Wing backbone to be fit with a remote tuning option, is going through some improvements and with an expected update being available this Fall. This kit is not for permanent outdoor use, does NOT require any holes be drilled for installation, and only requires common household tools to install the kit after the manually tuning knob is removed.
The Controller that is used to tune your loop has a potentiometer that can be turned on to increase or decrease the tuning rates. Buttons on the Controller can then be used to manually tune the antenna. NOTE – There is a clutch assembly in the variable air capacitor that keeps the gears from being stripped.
