The downconverter was used for long runs of cable typical use case was a high 
rise with data center in basement As I recall it converted the signal to a 
high level baseband and amplified that whic was good for a thousand feet or so 
of cable

 anything special.

 Boy I ran out to mr google and did a search and now I am wondering if some
 versions of the xl-dc just used a plain old GPS antenna. It sure looks like
 that could be the case. The manual does say down converter. Maybe it
 changed over time.
