3-Channel UHF

4-Channel UHF

Multicoupler HC-UHF-4 is a 4-channel UHF TX/RX antenna combiner designed to allow four UHF repeaters to share a single antenna. Designed in the UK, the HC-UHF-4 delivers adequate TX-RX and TX-TX separation in a compact 2U rack-mount chassis. HC-UHF-4 can be deployed immediately using any 4 of 5 repeater frequencies from the immediately available Ofcom Simple Site Licence, or re-tuned to any frequency between 450 and 470 MHz with 5.5-10 MHz channel separation (wider separation "Model 2" is available by special order).

Innovative Engineering

Multicoupler HC-UHF-4 uses a bandpass duplexer, meaning only the intended signals pass through the combiner.

Custom designed dual stage transmit isolators ensure maximum TX-TX isolation and minimal intermodulation.

A high gain low noise amplifier (LNA) offsets insertion losses, ensuring receiver sensitivity is maintained, even when split 4 ways.

Designed for Shared Antenna Systems

Multicoupler HC-UHF-4 is a 4-channel hybrid TX/RX combiner, meaning it manages both transmit and receive in a single unit.

This allows two repeaters operating on adjacent frequencies to safely share one antenna while maintaining clean signal separation paths and stable operation.

Carefully engineered, the HC-UHF-4 minimises any de-sense and intermodulation between channels - making it ideal for 2 repeater installations.

Also available: 2 and 3 channel versions.

At a Glance

Combine two UHF repeaters into one antenna with minimal loss.
High TX-TX isolation (≥ 65 dB) for reduced intermodulation.
Integrated RX low noise amplifier to overcome combiner losses.
Wide UHF coverage (450–470 MHz) for maximum flexibility.
Wider separation and lower frequency version "Model 2" is available by special order.
Stylish and compact 2U rack-mount design for easy, neat and tidy installation.
12V DC powered – ideal for fixed sites or backup power systems
Cost-effective alternative to traditional cavity-based systems

Multicoupler HC-UHF-4 offers an ideal balance of performance, simplicity, and affordability. Designed for low to medium power multi repeater systems, HC-UHF-4 delivers adequate isolation and reliability. For two-channel sites looking to reduce antenna count, cable runs, and overall system cost, the HC-UHF-4 is a smart, space-efficient solution.
