Aziloop DF-72 is a dual-mode multi-directional antenna system for VLF to HF reception with features
unequalled at this price point (or possibly anywhere):
· Uses low visual impact, small footprint antenna comprising a pair of orthogonal loops plus an earth.
· Stepped-Azimuth technology for electronic rotation. The actual antenna remains stationary.
· Control everything from an intuitive Windows UI with selectable Local, Client or Server modes.
· Dual antenna modes. Switch between Loop mode and K9AY mode with the mouse wheel or buttons.
· 108 antennas in one: 72 K9AY headings and 36 loop axes. Change with the mouse in 60 ms.
· Switchable 18 dB preamp and a 4-step attenuator (0 - 18 dB) for up to 36 dB of level control.
· Four 7-pole preselection filters to give your receiver an easy time.
· Variable K9AY load. 250 Ω to 950 Ω in 50 Ω steps
· Two control/monitor ports for your own use or allocate one or both to PTT muting.
· Headless Remote control (no attached PC) via the controller’s built-in Ethernet Server.
· Omni-Rig support for auto-filter, PTT muting and Rig-Sync (keep Rig A and Rig B in step)
Add a clean 13.8 V power supply, a Windows PC, and your own build of antenna, sized to give optimum performance for your use case and location.

Who should consider Aziloop?
Aziloop will be of interest to shortwave listeners, radio amateurs, and professional users alike. Applications include general monitoring, co-channel station resolution, basic direction finding, atmospheric and electromagnetic interference reduction, and jamming mitigation. Plus of course just having fun learning about propagation and discovering what your previous antenna was keeping from you.
Product Positioning
Aziloop has capabilities that single loop antennas cannot offer. Occupying a different market sector, Aziloop is an intelligent first choice, or a rewarding upgrade for the discerning listener.
Professional Users
Aziloop offers a feature set that could meet your project requirements at a fraction of the expected cost, especially for tactical / SIGINT deployments. Custom builds may also be possible.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
You’ll need to supply your own ANTENNA, COAX FEEDLINE & Windows* 10 or 11 PC.
(* Windows 7 and 8.1 is used by some customers, but we can’t officially support older operating systems
that Microsoft themselves don’t. You may need to manually install a USB driver and TTF font when using
older operating systems.)
The antenna can be no more than a central pole supported by two orthogonal loops of wire acting as guys,
together with a ground-stake earth or four wire-radials – ground mounted or elevated. We recommend
elevated radials for best performance
Many antenna arrangements are possible, and the size and shape aren’t critical (within limits of course).
All you need is a supply of 24/.2 (24 strand, 0.2mm) insulated wire or similar, and a central non-metallic
pole. You can use the standard K9AY shape and dimensions as a guide or a scaled down version.
