AD14 Active Diplexer

Some local broadcast signals are not carried by
DIRECTV® but are desired by the homeowner with an
AU9S, SL5S or SL3S single wire multi-switched dish.

SOLUTION
SONORA model AD14 combines and amplifies the
signals from a local free to air antenna and SWM
output.

RELATED CONSIDERATIONS
Model HD14 is recommended for adding local broadcast
signals to DISH® systems. See model D54 for examples
of combining off-air with DishPro® switch outputs.
DESCRIPTION
Model LA141R may also be used to further amplify local
broadcast and SWM output signals. Model AD14 is an active diplexer that combines
DIRECTV® single wire multi-switch signals and local
broadcast signals.
