Triax UFO 170 Antenna
The most popular antenna for motorhomes and boats is Triax's UFO 170. It is a small-sized antenna designed for boats and motorhomes. Due to its 360° reception, the antenna receives signals from all directions. The integrated 28 dB amplifier requires a 5 ... 24 V power supply.

The antenna can be powered by a solar panel, TV, digital set-top box (5V), battery (12-24V), or an external power supply. The antenna is LTE700 & LTE800 protected and suitable for FM/UHF / DVB-T/T2 signal reception.

The Triax IFP 224 power supply unit is suitable for supplying power to the Triax UFO 170 antenna. The power supply is shielded against interference, and the cables are connected to the device with F connectors. The power supply is 24 V / 200 mA (@ 100-240 VAC) or 12 V / 200 mA from the battery. The power supply primarily draws power from the mains, and if the mains power is not available, it draws power from the battery. It is also suitable for use with solar panels because the voltage can vary between 12 - 24 V. It can be connected directly to two TVs or a TV and a radio.

The Triax UFO 170 is a small-sized antenna that can be installed in almost any location. The antenna is perfect for travel and can be easily installed on a boat, motorhome, roof, or balcony. The weather and wind-resistant, waterproof structure protects the antenna from corrosion caused by seawater. The product includes roof, mast, and universal brackets suitable for antenna installation.
