How is the EasyTune antenna powered?
The standard EasyTune Antenna is powered by a 240 volt power supply that plugs into the mains 240v and transforms the voltage to 12v AC out to power the motor that rotates the antenna and also to provide power to the signal amplifier. This model, the BD-11a, is our volume seller. We also have available a model of EasyTune Antenna that utilises 12v DC power. It plugs into a cigarette lighter socket that operates on 12v DC from a car battery for example. It uses a DC motor in the head unit, rather than AC as in the standard antenna. The DC motor is more expensive to produce, hence the DC model BD-11m sells at a price premium over the standard model.
