starting to build bigger- The Parsec Coils

                                                                     The Parsec Coils.

The Radio Hunters have been working in the field since last year, using only the 20 inch Terrestrial Coils in The ERSA-1 Terrestrial Armored Antennas. These 20 incher's in a PVC tube have been sold around the US and a few are used in Canada as pole -mounted experimental antennas.

We have been wanting to expand our range of signal search past solar noise and noise on the planet, and we have a couple 4- foot long SpiralCone coils that we mount on rifle stocks or tripods. We finally figured out how to share these antennas with everyone  interested. We are starting to manufacture a four-foot long Spiral Cone antenna for the public market-- It is named the PARSEC coil, and can be used alone, or added to the end of  a ERSA-1 Terrestrial. ( which makes a really big rifle mount, or you gotta use a tripod!)

These larger antennas really extend the range of the ERSA-1 to outside the realm of the planet EARTH, and receive radio noise from the solar system and beyond, so we call them PARSEC COILS.

As soon as we have STOCK and Pricing, we will post on ETSY.COM for sale, because these are still hand -made instruments. look up sorethroatguitaramplifiers, seller name.  thank you for reading,

We hope to have Antenna Manuals Printed up soon and offered for sale, so you can check out the info before you buy. You can have 100's of bucks tied up in a fully- loaded  ERSA-1 rig, and hundreds more in a PARSEC COIL and accessories, add a tripod / wood base mount, and top it off with a JUPITER Deep Space Coil, and you'll have 1,000 dollar  investment in back-yard Astronomy! So we understand reading FIRST is very important.

the NCRC-99 no connection radio coupler in production,listed on Etsy

The ERSA portable antennas are light weight and user-friendly, but some questions were raised about what to connect them to for immediate use.
The common TV cable screws right on the back, but after people get a few channels, they want to move on to radio- based use and do some listening work. 
Some radios have a single wire connector on the back, or a 2-screw post set-up for a 300 ohm fm antenna. No provision for a 75 ohm cable or  a "f" connector. 
So after remembering the 2 things almost ALL radios have-the metal telescoping antenna, and the built-in loop-stick coils- I realized what was needed to help people use their new antennas right away. 
The new NCRC-99 coupler unit was designed, built, and tested in the USA, and is now included in most ERSA sales packages so the Antenna is really a "plug-n-play" device. 
The coupler has a light weight cable with a male F connector, so it screws directly on the ERSA unit, then has over 3 feet of length going to the coupler tube.
