Overview

The PDA-240 supports manual, auto and one button functions.  It ensures reliable transmission for the applications of DSNG, disaster relief, emergency communications, networks, etc. 

 

The PDA-240 Drive-Away Antenna's precision provides remarkably low sidelobes and excellent cross-polar performance. It has a three axes positioner which provides full antenna rotation and is entirely backlash-free in elevation, azimuth and polarization axes. PDA-240 supports DVB-S, DVB-S2, beacon and modem in satellite locking within 3 minutes. 

 

Light-weight and highly durable structure and aerodynamic design allows interrupted satellite communication anywhere.
