1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The RT2047 VHF Radiotelephone has been designed to be used with the Compact 2000 Module
Programme.
The VHF RT2047 can either be installed and operated as an independent unit or in combination with the
other modules in the Compact 2000 programme. These modules include a complete range of SSB
transmitters and receivers, MF/HF Digital Selective Calling unit and/or radiotelex equipment, a scrambler
that ensures complete communication secrecy and a VHF Digital Selective Call (DSC) unit. The DSCunit features direct dialling and reception of ship to shore, shore to ship and ship to ship calls as well as
automatic distress calls etc.
The VHF RT2047 has been constructed to withstand the most extreme conditions experienced in small,
semi-open boats. Its compact, weather proof construction ensures a degree of resistance to sea spray.
The printed circuits, which have made possible a combination of compactness and exceptional
performance, are coated with a special, moisture-repellent lacquer.
In the design of this VHF radiotelephone, S. P. Radio have taken into account all conditions it will be
exposed to in day-to-day operation. However, even a product of this high quality requires regular service
and maintenance, and we recommend the user to observe the maintainence instructions in the instruction
book.
S. P. Radio is Europe’s leading producer of maritime radio communication equipment - a position which
has been maintained by means of constant and extensive product development. We have a world-wide

2.8 ANTENNAS
All common 50 ohm antennas, which cover the used frequency range with a reasonable standing wave
ratio, maximum 1.5, are applicable.
The antenna is connected to the set by means of a 50 ohm coaxial cable with low loss, e.g. RG213U. At
the cable end a PL259 plug is mounted.
The antenna must be placed as high and as free of obstructions as possible. The horizontal distance to
metal parts must be at least 1.0 metre.
S. P. Radio has an antenna with the necessary specifications available for purchase. The mentioned
antenna is characterised by small external dimensions. See the special brochure ‘VHF AERIALS’ for
particulars.
2.9 SPECIAL OPTIONS
K-SWITCH.
It is possible to change between standard functions and the German river boat functions by installing an
external switch.
SELCALL RELAY.
When the selcall has accepted a CQ or individual call signal, the selcall relay, RE1-9 on the Filter-unit will
turn on and short-circuit two wires, which can be used for remote alarm. Max. contact load: 100V AC/24V
DC - 2A. This option is available on the filter print.
AF TO INFORM. DECODER.
The circuit giving AF signals to the information decoder is turned on when the set has accepted a CQ or
individual call signal. The circuit is turned “ON” or “OFF” like the relay RE1-9. This option can be found
in connector P4-6 on the interface print.
AUX II.
When an information on certain channels is wanted, i.e. controlling a watch keeping receiver, the AUX
II information can be used. A relay RE2-9 on the Filter-unit is controlled through the buffer/inverted U11/
5-6 from the ìC U19-6. Max. contact load: 100V AC / 24V DC - 2A. The AUX II option is available on the
filter print.
OUTPUT TO RECORDER.
Through the connector P4-6 pin 1 and 2 on the INTERFACE UNIT (6) the AF signal to the telephone output
can be led to a tape recorder. This option is located in connector P4-6.
AUX 1
The option AUX I is for-either internal or external use. It is placed in P3-6 pin 1 on the INTERFACE UNIT.
Max. level on the output of the U11-6 must not be more than the battery level, because a diode is
connected to the supply pin in the IC.
DISTRESS CRY / INTERRUPT
Jumper P8-6 on the interface print leads either ‘Distress Cry’ or ‘Interrupt’ through the filter print to the
handset key connector. The Interrupt signal is required when RT2047 is used with the VHF DSC RM2042
and Distress Cry is used for scramblers CRY2001 and CRY2002.
PHONE PATCH / +13V
Jumper P34-9 is used for selecting if The ‘Phone Patch’ signal or if ‘+13V’ should be led to the handset
key connector. +13V is required when RT2047 is used with the VHF DSC RM2042 and Phone Patch is
used for the Phone Patch unit H2047.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
RT2047 can operate in duplex and simplex mode.
RT2047 is provided with built in duplex-filter for duplex communication with one antenna.
RT2047 includes all 55 international and U.S. VHF marine channels, and is prepared for up to 20 private
channels to be selected as simplex or duplex channels. As option up to 67 private channels can be
provided.
RT2047 has six scanning programmes, one standard programme, and 5 individually programmable
scanning programmes.
RT2047 has built in dual watch facility, which enables the operator to listen to two channels simultaneously (the selected channel and a preference channel - normally CH16.)
RT2047 is provided with quick selection of channel 16.
RT2047 is provided with selcall decoder. Selective calls (CALL) or all ships calls (CQ) from the coast
station will be decoded.
RT2047 receiver section is a double-conversion superheterodyne system, which makes use of a phase-
locked digital frequency synthesizer for frequency generation based on a single crystal to provide all the
standard channels and the private channels.
RT2047 transmitter section is a phase-locked phase-modulated signal generator with a solid state RF
power amplifier.
RT2047 is provided with two microcomputers, one for controlling the frequency synthesizer, reading from
and to EEPROMS, controlling the squelch and volume functions, and controlling the selcall filter. The
other µC is controlling the display drivers, the dual watch and scanning functions.
RT2047 is for 12 Volt DC supply. Voltage change-over from 24V to 12V is done by the switch-mode power
supply N418.
RT2047 employs the most modern circuit technology, housed in a corrosion resistant aluminium cabinet
with a green nylon finish.
RT2047 is provided with membrane switches for controls, easy to use, reliable and hard-wearing. Cutouts in the metal front serve as a safe finger-guide.
RT2047 is fitted with night illumination.
RT2047 has been prepared with a serial communication interface for DSC (Digital Selective Call)
operation together with S.P. RADIO’s VHF DSC RM2042. DSC is the globally adopted general purpose
system for selective calling in the ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore and shore-to-ship directions and can best
be compared to ordinary telephony, giving you direct access to the national telephone network in those
areas where the coast stations have the automatic services. DSC also enables you to make automatic
distress calls containing the ships position etc. complying with the international requirements stated by
IMO in the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System, known as GMDSS.
RT2047 is prepared for scrambled communication in conjunction with Scramblers CRY2001 or
CRY2002, both produced by A/S.

1.4 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
1.4.1 FREQUENCY GENERATION
The frequencies are generated from a crystal oscillator operating on 21 MHz. The 21 MHz is divided in
the REFERENCE DIVIDER to 2.1 MHz which is the input to the RX-REFERENCE DIVIDER and also the
clock-signal for the microcomputer on the Interface Unit. In the RX-REFERENCE DIVIDER the 2.1 MHz
is divided by 168 to 12.5 KHz which is reference for the PHASE DETECTOR. This makes it possible to
change the frequency from the RX-VCO with 12.5 KHz intervals.
The signal from the RX-VCO is divided in a PRESCALER which divides by 33 until the A-COUNTER has
reached zero and then it divides by 32. The N-COUNTER divides the output from the PRESCALER, and
the output is led to the PHASE-DETECTOR, and here it is compared with the 12.5 KHz. If there is a
difference an error voltage will be generated. This is integrated in the LOOP-FILTER and the output of
this filter controls the RX-VCO. The frequency of the RX-VCO is the receiving frequency minus the
intermediate frequency.
f
LO1
= fRX - f
1IF
= fRX -21.4 MHz
The output from the RX-VCO is mixed with the output from the TX-VCO which is in lock when it is 16.8
MHz above the RX-VCO. This means that the receiver always is 4.6 MHz above the transmitter, namely
21.4 - 16.8 = 4.6; and this difference is equal to the duplex distance. The 16.8 MHz from the MIXER is
divided by 32 to 525 KHz, which is compared with the 21 MHz divided by 40 in the REFERENCE DIVIDER.
The error voltage is integrated in the LOOP-FILTER, and the output of this filter controls the TX-VCO.
1.4.2 RECEIVER
The antenna-signal is led through the duplex-filter and the antenna relay to the RF-AMPLIFIER. The
bandpass filters are tuned by means of capacitor-diodes which are controlled by means of a DC-voltage
which is derived from the control-voltage to the RX-VCO. In the FIRST MIXER the antenna signal is mixed
with the output from the RX-VCO to the intermediate frequency 21.4 MHz. In the integrated IF circuit, the
first IF frequency on 21.4 MHz is mixed with a crystal oscillator signal on 20.945 MHz to reach the second
IF frequency on 455 kHz. This signal is filtered in the ceramic filter, before it is amplified and detected in
the integrated IF-circuit. The audio frequency signal is amplified and led through an active filter providing
the frequency response further to the telephone amplifier and the AF power amplifier.
1.4.3 TRANSMITTER
The microphone signal is led through the MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER where the necessary amplification,
limiting, and filtering takes place. The limiting is done by a clipper. The signal from the MICROPHONE
AMPLIFIER is led to the LOOP-FILTER, where the phase modulation of the transmitter takes place. As
the TX-VCO oscillates directly on the transmitting frequency, the signal only has to be amplified. This is
done in the TX-BUFFER, PA-DRIVER, and the PA-POWER AMPLIFIER. The power supply for the PAdriver is adjustable, and is used for adjusting the output power. The harmonics of the output is filtered in
HARM-FILTER , before it is led through the ANTENNA-RELAY and the DUPLEX-FILTER to the antenna.
1.4.4 THE MICROCOMPUTERS
The µC on the Interface Unit is taking care of calculating the dividing figure for the synthesizer, reading
from and to the EEPROMs, controlling the squelch and volume functions, and controlling the selcall filter.
The µC on the Keyboard Unit is taking care of the keyboard scanning, the input from the handset key and
the display drivers as well as the Dual Watch and Scanning functions. The keyboard µC is also handling
the serial SP VHF-BUS communication with external devices such as the VHF DSC - RM2042. The
communication between the two µC’s is accomplished by a RS232C -type serial connection.
