I want to ask for what the coaxial cable is for, that connects the transceiver with the receiver over the "XMIT" plug.
I think ist for monostatic and bistatic mode. But what is happening if I use the antenna without the cable conncted?
How I have to use this antenna if I want to survey in monostatic mode?
The label at the cable sockets named "XMIT" (you cant see this in the images)!

Re: Old 300 Mhz GSSI Antenna question
You have to close the circuit when you want to use it as a monostatic. Send me a picture of the top of the antenna and I will tell you how to do it.

Re: Old 300 Mhz GSSI Antenna question
Hi gmradar;-)
Here is a picture. Someone said to me now that the old 300Mhz antenna and Sir-3000 makes only sense in bistatic mode? I have used it for some tests with the cable attached to the "XMIT" sockets. The profiles didnt look bad. But can you inform me much further about bi- and monostatic. I thought bistatic is when using 2 seperated antennas (one antenna as transmitter and one antenna as receiver) and monostatic is transmit and receiver in one housing like the GSSI 400Mhz antenna.

Re: Old 300 Mhz GSSI Antenna question
Here is an information I get from someone else:
An old 300 MHz antenna from GSSI can only be used correct as a bistatic antenna. The maximum PRF (transmit rate) here is 50 KHz. Here the transmitter is triggered by the receiver via an RG58 cable.
