Antenna Positioner Peripheral Devices
LinkAlign-360POL-10
MSRP: $4,295
The LinkAlign-360POL-10 is a modular polarization rotator accessory that interfaces directly with most LinkAlign Series antenna positioners.
Standard LinkAlign software allows for the polarization axis to be enabled from the settings page and then operated from the main control page. A single cable is provided which connects to the polarization external connector that comes standard on all models that work with the 360POL.
Â
The LinkAlign-360POL is typically paired with 1 to 3 ft antennas, payloads up to 80 lbs (36.3 kg), and offers +/- 200° of polarizatoin range. Download the Interface Control Drawing (ICD) for more details

GPS Heading Unit (Standard)
MSRP: $6,750
The QPAR GPS Heading Unit (GHU) is a tool-less bolt on accessory which uses GPS technology to provide accurate heading when paired with a QLA antenna positioner.
Â
The standard model GHUÂ as developed to work with the QLA -EER, -FER, and -RPT Series of antenna positioner systems. Higher frequency line of sight radio and satellite links have antenna beam widths of less than a few degrees which can make the initial alignment process extremely difficult.
Â
This tool provides QLA antenna positioners with a more accurate heading to lace narrow beam line of sight and satellite antenna links on target. After the initial point using the GHU, the QLA antenna positioner ill use its built-in closed loop RF peaking tools to optimize and maintain the link.
Â
This GHU works with the EER, FER, and RPT Series of antenna positioners. QPAR Antennas also offers a GHU to work with the EBP series. If desired the GHU can be adapted to other QLA series antenna positioners. The GHU is the perfect solution for auto acquisition of high frequency narrow beam antennas.

GPS Heading Unit (EBP Series)
MSRP: $7,018
The QPARUSA GPS Heading Unit (GHU) is a tool-less bolt on accessory which uses GPS technology to provide accurate heading when paired with a QPARUSA LinkAlign antenna positioner.
Â
We developed this model GHU to work with the LinkAlign-60EBP Series of 70/80GHz E-Band antenna positioner systems. 70/80GHz E-Band line of sight radio links have antenna beam widths of less than 1 degree which can make the initial alignment process extremely difficult.
Â
This tool provides QPARUSA LinkAlign antenna positioners with a more accurate heading to place narrow beam line of sight antenna links on target. After the initial point using the GHU, the LinkAlign antenna positioner will use its built in closed loop RF peaking tools to optimize and maintain the link.
Â
This GHU works with the EBP Series of antenna positioners. QPARUSA also offers a GHU to work with the EER, FER, and RPT series. If desired the GHU can be adapted to other QPAR series antenna positioners.
The GHU is the perfect solution for auto acquisition of high frequency narrow beam antennas
