Dual Port Adapter for A-320

A-320DPA

Overview

We designed this simple clip on attachment in response to warfighter requests for dual port capability for their A-320 amplifiers. It fits any A-320 amplifier currently in service.

The adapter allows for simultaneous connection of two separate RF antennas for differing frequencies. It also functions as a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for UHF SATCOM transmission.

The lightweight A-320DPA installs without tools. When needed, operators simply clip on the A-320DPA to existing lanyard pins on the A-320 and unclip when desired. It’s that easy.
