Kingray DW42 TV Amplifier
The Kingray DW42 has been discontinued. It has been replaced with the Kingray DA44.
Please note: if replacing an exisiting DW42 with a new DA44 amplifier, you will also need to purchased a new PSK18M power supply.
The PSK18M will suit the new DA44. Your exisiting PSK12S or PSK18S will not be suitable for the new DA44
The Kingray DW42 Distribution Amplifier is an F Type 42dB distribution amplifier designed for separate VHF or UHF antennas or a combined antenna via a switch at the input. The DW42 can be remotely powered via the output. Now includes a -30 dB test point. Packed without power a supply.
The Kingray DW42 TV amplifier has been designed to suit our current digital TV environment. The technology uses hybrid bipolar and GaAs, which allows for a greater output capacity, whilst having a lower noise figure. The amplifiers contain midstage gain controls, a number of flexible powering options and are built in a fully shielded die-cast housing.
A PSK12S, PSK12F, PSK18S or PSK18F is required, but not included.
