The Avtex STH2000 12/24v TV Aerial was made specifically because of the demand from Truckers for the sister STH1000. The difference is the STH2000 can be powered from 24v as well as 12v.
The Avtex STH2000 is very popular due to its compact size and the versatility of mounting it. There are several methods of using the Avtex STH2000 but by far the most popular is the supplied suction foot with flexible gooseneck. This allows the STH2000 to be secured to clean smooth body work or even a window. The goose neck enables the aerial to be pointed towards the broadcast transmitter (Digital signals are significantly more directional than the old Analogue system). There is also a bracket provided if you wish to permanently mount the STH2000 and a "U" bolt clamp if you would prefer to attach the aerial to a pole/mast (extra height can significantly improve reception in some areas).
The Avtex STH2000 is an active antenna and therefore requires electricity to work albeit only a few milliamps. If you are using an AVTEX 12/24v TV there is a setting on the on screen menu's to allow the TV to send power up the aerial cable to work the STH2000. If you prefer or are using a TV other than an Avtex there is a power adapter in the box that connects to your 24v battery system via a cigar plug and in turn drops the voltage from 24v to the required 5v. It is imperitive that you do not bypass the cigar plug adapter and connect directly to your 24v system.
The Avtex STH2000 Aerial has diamond shaped stainless steel elements allowing reception of both Verically Polarised and Horizontally Polarised signals without the need to turn the aerial through 90deg as with conventional aerials. The elements being stainless steel means the aerial is robost.
