What is the minimum signal-pulse period for a good bearing resolution on the WD3000?
A. The typical acquisition time is approx 50 ms. It can be much less – in fact a few ms if you are prepared to relax your definition of “good bearing” – but then it might be hard to distinguish the signal bearing in noise. On the other hand, it can be a few seconds if you apply long averaging for extra accuracy. Q. Can I use the WD3000 system with my own antenna array and receivers? A. No. The receiver used in the WD3000 RDF system is a specially-adapted WR3000 series receiver with an additional cable and support circuitry for the synchronized-switching network of the AX-55D antenna array. Since the whine of the switching circuitry interferes with listening to the signal, the WD3000 can accommodate an optional second monitoring receiver which requires a simple monitoring antenna. Q. Is there an RDF antenna available that performs over the entire LF-UHF range of the WR3000 series receivers? A. Unfortunately, the nature of the phasing system of a switched-antenna array is wavelength-depe
