1.INTRODUCTION
The RT2048 VHF radiotelephone has been designed to comply with the increasing demands of a highly technological
product, which means high quality, small size, etc.
The RT2048 is furthermore designed to fit into the Compact 2000 module programme.
The RT2048 can either be installed and operated as an independent unit, or in combination with other elements of
the Compact 2000 programme. These include a Duplex VHF radiotelephone, a coast telephone station with a 400W
PEP SSB transmitter and an SSB receiver with built-in FM and AM bands, and a scrambler which ensures complete
communication secrecy.
The VHF RT2048 has, by means of the latest technology in casting technique, been constructed to withstand the
most extreme conditions experienced in small, semi-open boats. The printed circuits inside are designed with a high
degree of compactness and exceptional performance.
In the design of this VHF radiotelephone, S. P. Radio have taken into account all the circumstances it will be exposed
to in day-to-day operation. However, even a product of this high quality requires regular servicing and maintenance,
and we recommend a close observance of the directions contained in the instruction book.
S. P. Radio is one of Europe’s leading producers of maritime radio communication equipment - a position which has
been maintained by means of constant and extensive product development. We have a world-wide network of dealers
with general agencies in fifty countries. All our dealers are well-trained and able to service all S.P. Radio products

Reduced Power
In harbour areas or in the close
vicinity of another vessel,
transmissions should be with
reduced power.
When the display shows 1W,
the transmitter output power is
reduced from 25W to 1W
Where two stations are close
together, this reduction can
improve communication quality.

In the USA a number of the
international duplex channels
are used as simplex channels.
Ships sailing in American waters
must therefore be able to select
these channels as simplex channels.
The appearance of "US" on the

1 INTRODUCTIONRT2048
1.4.PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
FREQUENCY GENERATION
All the internal frequencies are referenced to a crystal oscillator, running on 14.85 MHz.
The 14.85 MHz is divided by 4 in the REFERENCE DIVIDER, to generate a 3.7125 MHz signal, which is the input
to the PLL-reference divider and clock-signal for the microcomputer.
The local oscillator signal for the first mixer in the receiver and the transmit signal are generated in a phase-locked
loop (PLL). To generate the needed frequencies, which are specified as follows:
139.1 MHZ
159.0 MHz
< fLO1 < 148.45 MHz; 154.5 MHz < fTX NORMAL < 159.15 MHz
< fTX SPECIAL << 163.75 MHz
a bandshift is performed in the VCO.
The loop reference frequency - and so the resolution - is 12.5 kHz, derived by dividing the reference divider output
with 297.
The VCO output frequency is divided down to 12.5 kHz after the dual-modulus principle with a PRESCALER dividing
with 32/33.
The phase detector output controls the CHARGE PUMPE feeding the loop filter integrator.
If there is a difference in phase/frequency between the inputs to the phase detector. An error current from the charge
pumpe will be integrated in the loop filter, producing the needed voltage for the VCO.
RECEIVER
The antenna signal is fed to the RX AMPLIFIER through the RX/TX relay.
The bandpass filters around the RX amplifier are tuned by means of capacitor diodes, which are controlled by a DCvoltage derived from the VCO control voltage in the PLL.
The received signal is converted to the first intermediate frequency on 15.3 MHz in the FIRST MIXER, using the VCO
signal from the RX BUFFER AMPLIFIER as local oscillator signal.
The signal is filtered and amplified before down-conversion to 450 kHz in the SECOND MIXER. The crystal oscillator
signal is used as local oscillator signal.
After filtering in the SECOND IF FILTER, the signal is amplified and detected.
The AF signal is passed through a mute switch before undergoing appropriate amplification and filtering to get the
right frequency response.
Besides, the detected output is filtered in the SQUELCH FILTER before it is amplified, detected, and compared with
a reference level to get a logical level for the microcomputer, which controls the mute circuit.
The telephone amplifier and the AF power amplifier produce the wanted output levels for the earpiece and the
loudspeaker.
TRANSMITTER
The signal from the microphone is passed through a PRE-EMPHASIS network before appropriate amplification and
compression in the AF AMPLIFIER COMPRESSOR.
This signal is filtered before it is fed to the VCO, where the modulation of the transmitter signal takes place.
As the VCO oscillates direct on the transmitting frequency in TX-mode, the signal only has to be amplified. This is
done in the TX BUFFER AMPLIFIER and the TX POWER AMPLIFIER.
The power supply for the TX power amplifier is regulated by a feed-back loop via the POWER SENSE circuit to
maintain constant output power level. Switching between full and reduced output power level is made by means of
the PA-REGULATOR.
To reduce the level of harmonic components in the output signal it is passed through a HARMONIC FILTER before
it is led to the antenna via the RX-TX-RELAY.
MICROCOMPUTER
The microcomputer on the interface unit is taking care of various functions, among these the user interface, which
means reading of the keyboard and readout to the LED-display via the DISPLAY-LATCHES.
Moreover the computer calculates the appropriate division figures for the PLL, controls the transmitter power level,
the AF mute circuits, and reads and writes to the EEPROM’s.
When a selcall unit is installed, the microcomputer also controls the selcall switch capacitor filter.
The serial interface is only for factory production use.

3.1.MAINTENANCE
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
If SAILOR RT2048 has been installed in a proper way the maintenance can be reduced to an overhaul at each visit
of the service staff. Then inspect the set, the antenna, cables, and plugs for mechanical damages, salt deposits,
corrosion, and any foreign material. Owing to its traditional structure, the SAILOR RT2048 has a long lifetime, but
it must always be carefully checked at intervals not exceeding 12 months - dependent on the conditions under which
the set is working. The set must be brought to the service workshop to be tested.
Along with each set a TEST-SHEET is delivered in which all the measurements, made in the test department of
the factory, are listed. If the control measurings made in the service workshop should not show the same values
as those listed in the test-sheet, the set must be adjusted as specified in the ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE.

3.6.TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting should only be performed by persons with sufficient technical knowledge, who have the necessary
measuring instruments at their disposal, and who have carefully studied the operation principles and structure of
SAILOR RT2048.
The first thing to check is whether the fault is somewhere in the antenna circuit, the power source, the handset,
or in the transmitter - receiver unit.
In order to help you during troubleshooting, the section 5. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION contains diagrams, principal
descriptions, and drawings showing the location of the individual components. Typical values for the DC and AC
voltages are indicated in the diagrams, and also the test points are indicated in the diagrams.
SAILOR RT2048 has a number of trimming cores and trimmers, which must not be touched unless adjustments
as specified in section 3.5. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE can be made.
When measuring in the units, short-circuits must be avoided as the transistors would then be spoiled.

5.2.INTERFACE UNIT (MODULE 2)
5.2.1. +5V POWER SUPPLY
The internal power supply for the logic circuitries is generated from the internal +8V power supply, by means of the
integrated voltage regulator U09. The input voltage for U09 is fed to pin 3 via D01, which secures an appropriate
voltage decay on C12 when the set is switched off.
5.2.2. BATTERY SENSE/RESET CIRCUIT
When the set is switched on, U07/1 which is coupled as a comparator will generate an appropriate reset signal for
the microcomputer U03.
U07/2 is configured as a comparator circuit sensing the level of the internal +13V supply voltage. When this voltage
drops below a certain level determined by R27, R20, R54, and D11 a „voltage low“ signal is generated on pin 1.
This action is detected by the microcomputer U3 which in turn will block the key function.
5.2.3. INDICATOR SUPPLY
The LED read-out intensity is controlled by means of a four-step voltage supply. Transistor Q02 acts as the emitter
follower buffer transistor. The base voltage level of this transistor, and so the output voltage, is controlled by means
of U08/4 and the programming resistors R07, R49, R47, and R55.
5.2.4. DISPLAY LATCHES
The display segments and the display power supply control inputs are buffered by means of three serial to parallel
registers included in the integrated circuits U04, U05 and U06. The information is latched-in by means of the internal
serial data bus controlled by the microcomputer.
5.2.5. READ-OUT
The information read-out is made by means of two seven-segment LED-displays D06, D07 and three individual
diodes for 1W, TX and US-mode 003, DID, and D12.
5.2.6. EEPROM-MEMORIES
The two IC’s U01 and U02 constitute the internal programmable memory. These circuits are controlled by the
microcomputer via the internal serial bus. The memories are used for set identification codes, private channel
programming etc.
5.2.7. MICROCOMPUTER
All the internal control signals are supplied by the microcomputer U03, either by means of the internal serial bus
or by individual control signals like the key function, power level etc. Besides the microcomputer reads the keyboard
information via the connector J01.
When a selcall unit is installed via J02, the control functions for this module and the alarm generation are created
by the microcomputer. The audible alarm is coupled to the loudspeaker by means of resistors R26, R40, and R46.
5.2.8. SERIAL INTERFACE
For use in the factory production, a serial interface to the microcomputer is implemented by means of U07/4 and
transistor Q01.
5.2.9. SQUELCH
The AF signal from the discriminator amplifier on RX/TX board is fed to the active squelch filter around U05/2, which
is a highpass filter with a roll- off frequency of 45 kHz. The signal is amplified about 6-8 dB.
The amplitude of the noise signal is adjustable from the front panel by means of the squelch potentiometer R10.
Q05 amplifies the signal to the squelch detector. If there is a noise signal (without carrier at the receiver), the
detector generates a DC voltage at pin 9 on U08/3. When this voltage increases to 0.6V, which is the same as the
voltage at pin 10 on U08/3, the comparator output goes low and the squelch mute message is generated via Q08.
The microcomputer U03 detects the message and generates the appropriate mute signals for the AF amplifiers.
5.2.10. AF FILTER/AMPLIFIER
The AF signal is led to the active filter around U08/1. The filter provides a frequency response of -6 dB/oct. in the
range of 0.3 to 3 kHz, and limits the signals outside this range.
Q04 is an emitter follower buffer amplifier, which supplies the earphone and the AF power amplifier. The uC controls
the mute function via Q06 and Q03. When Q06 is off the DC voltage at pin 3 and 1 is 8V and therefore Q04 is off.
The loudspeaker level is adjustable by means of the volume control R23.

5.3. SYNTHESIZER UNIT (MODULE 3)
5.3.1. VCO with Buffer
The voltage controlled oscillator, built around the Field Effect Transistor Q18, is oscillating either on the transmitting
frequency or on the first receiver local oscillator frequency, which means the receiving frequency less 15.3 MHz.
To reach this function, the oscillator is implemented with a bandshift by means of the bandswitch diode D6 and the
two capacitors C47 and C78.
In transmit mode, where the diode D6 is reverse biased, the oscillating frequency is mainly determined by C48, L9,
C49, C51, and D9.
In receiving mode the oscillator resonance frequency is lowered 15.3 MHz by switching D6 on and thus putting C47
and C78 in parallel with C48.
The oscillating frequency is varied by means of the control voltage fed to the capacitor diode D9.
The output voltage from the VCO is taken via a capacitive tap C52, C53 on the source of Q18 and fed to the common
buffer amplifier, built around Q15. The power gain of this stage is adjusted by means of potentiometer R98. The
gain is adjusted so that the output level from the TX buffer amplifier is 200 mW measured at the output connector
J4.
5.3.2. loop Buffer Amplifier
The output from the common VCO buffer is fed to the divider chain via the stage around Q7, which secures the
needed amplification and the reverse isolation between the digital parts and the VCO.
The amplifier is a fixed tuned broad band amplifier with 11, C24, and R47 forming a low Q tuned circuit.
5.3.3. 32/33 Prescaler
The integrated circuit U4 is a two modulus prescaler based on the ECL technique.
From the Control logic in the programmable divider U3 pin 12, a high or low level is led to the prescaler U4 pin I.
A high level at U4 pin 1 causes the prescaler to divide by 33 and in turn a low level at pin I sets it up for dividing
by 32.
The resistor R20 and the diode D4 work as a speed-up and overdrive protection circuit.
5.3.4. Reference/Programmable Divider and Phase Detector
The integrated circuit U3 comprises both a programmable divider for the reference input and a programmable
divider with control logic for use in conjunction with a dual modulus prescaler. Besides, the IC includes two phase
detectors and a lock detector of which only one of the phase detectors is in use, the output pins located at pin 15
and pin 16.
Both dividers are programmed via the serial bus from the microcomputer. The coding structure of the serial data
stream includes the needed information for the on-chip decoder to detect the kind of the reached division figures.
The reference division ratio is constant as the input of 3.7125 MHz is derived from the X-tal oscillator.
In the beginning of a counting period the prescaler U4 starts dividing by 33. After a few counts the modulus control
pin changes level and the prescaler will finish the dividing cycles with a division ratio of 32, ending up with the correct
total division ratio.
The pulse frequency out of the reference divider is 12.5 kHz. If the VCO frequency is correct the pulse frequency
from the variable divider is also 12.5 kHz and in phase with the pulse from the reference divider. The on-chip phase
detector compares the phase of the two pulses. If they are out of phase the detector creates correction pulses to
the Charge Pumpe for correction of the VCO frequency/phase.
However, the synthesizer circuit is made with a small constant phase error, forced by the current drawn through
R58, to avoid phase detector non linearities to degrade the loop performance. So the phase detector is sending
small correction pulses to transistor Q4 with a frequency of 12.5 kHz.
5.3.5. Charge Pumpe
The charge pumpe, mainly consisting of Q4, Q5, and D2, converts the pulse with modulated phase detector outputs
of U3 pin 15 and 16 to a DC current flowing into or out of the loop amplifier.
Assume that the VCO frequency has decreased from its nominal value. The phase detector will produce a negative
correction pulse on pin 16, turning Q5 on, resulting in current being drawn out of the loop amplifier.
This action will cause the output voltage to increase, thus increasing the VCO frequency to the nominal value.
An increase in VCO frequency from its nominal value will in turn cause a correction pulse on pin 15, turning Q4 off,
resulting in current flowing into the loop amplifier through the diode D2. This means the output voltage will decrease,
forcing the VCO frequency to decrease.
Because of the current drawn through R58, a small correction pulse of about 500 nsec. will always be present at
pin 15 on U3 with a frequency of 12.5 kHz.

5 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION AND SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMSRT2048RT2048
5.3.6. Loop Amplifier/Filter
The loop amplifier is realized as a discrete operational amplifier with transistors Q10 and Q11 forming the input
differential pair and Q8, Q9 the output stage.
The loop dynamic performance is mainly controlled via the feed-back components in the loop amplifier, this means
capacitors C29, C30, C31 and R49. The output from the loop amplifier is further filtered in a low pass filter formed
by C36, L2, C34, and C35, to reduce the level of the reference frequency sidebands on the VCO output.
5.3.7. RX Buffer Amplifier
When receiving, the bandswitch diode D8 is turned on, and the output from the VCO buffer amplifier is further
amplified in a single tuned amplifier formed around Q16 with L8, C70, and C73 forming the tuned circuit. The output
is attenuated and impedance matched by means of resistors R93 and R94. The typical output level at connector
J3 will be 5 mW.
5.3.8. TX Buffer Amplifier
When the set changes to transmit mode, the band switch diode D7 will be turned on and the output from the VCO
buffer amplifier will be fed to the two stage amplifier circuit.
The level is amplified to about 30 mW in Q14 and the final stage with Q13 boosts the level to about 200 mW
measured at connector J4.
The first stage is working as a class A amplifier with the base on Q14 biased through R80, D7, R79, and R86. The
output stage is working as a class C amplifier with a small base bias through resistors R72 and R73.
5.3.9. X-Tal Oscillator
The oscillator is of a Colpitt type and the oscillator transistor Q1 is oscillating by means of a 14.850 MHz crystal
X1.
The trimmer capacitor C77 is for fine adjustment of the oscillator frequency.
RF signal for the second mixer in the receiver is taken from the collector of transistor Q1, connector J1. The oscillator
signal is buffered and amplified in transistors Q2 and Q3 before it is fed to the reference divider.
5.3.10. Reference Divider
The fixed divide by four reference divider U2 divides the X-tal oscillator frequency down to 3.7125 MHz before it
is fed to the microcomputer via connector J2 and the phase locked loop reference divider included in U3.
5.3.11. RX Filter Control Amplifier
This variable slope DC amplifier made by means of an operational amplifier U1 converts the VCO control voltage
to an appropriate control voltage for the variocap. diode tuned filters in the receiver front-end.
The maximum output voltage is adjusted by means of potentiometer R95.
5.3.12. Preempbasis Network
Capacitor C18 in conjunction with R35 and R96 introduces the needed 6 dB/oct. response of the AF input signal.
The input sensitivity is adjusted by means of R96.
5.3.13. AF Amplifier/Compressor
This circuit, formed around two operational amplifiers in U1, comprises both an amplifying and voltage limiting
function. Amplifier No. 3 is a fixed voltage amplifier, the output of which is sensed by means of the comparator made
by amplifier No. 2. When the peak output voltage exceeds a certain level, adjusted by means of potentiometer R97,
the comparator will turn on transistor Q6, which in turn will charge capacitor C14. So the gate-source voltage on
transistor Q17, acting as a variable resistor, will decrease and also the AC resistance between pin 10 on U1 and
ground, which in turn will reduce the input level to the amplifier.
The rise-time of the compressor is mainly determined by resistors R38, R31, and capacitor C14. The decay-time
by C14 and R30.
5.3.14. AF Post Filter
This second order active filter, built around operational amplifier No. 4 in U1, secures an appropriate high frequency
roll-off of the AF signal. Resistors R64 and R65 give an appropriate attenuation of the AF signal before it is fed to
the modulating diode D6 in the VCO.

5.4.RX/TX UNIT (MODULE 4)
The RX/TX unit comprises the following circuits:
The receiver including detector
AF power amplifier
RF power amplifier
Harmonic filter
RF power control
8V power supply
5.4.1. RECEIVER FRONT-END
The RF amplifier covers the frequency range 154.400 MHz to 163.600 MHz and consists of the low noise
Dual Gate Si-Mos-FET Q11 surrounded by two high Q double-tuned bandpass filters.
From the aerial the signal is led through the aerial relay to the receiver input bandpass filter. The input
bandpass filter as well as the intermediate bandpass filter are controlled by a DC voltage on the tuning diodes.
This DC voltage derives from the RX VCO control voltage and secures an optimum filter response in the
whole frequency range of the receiver.
The two bandpass filters create the necessary attenuation of unwanted signals.
5.4.2. FIRST MIXER
The balanced mixer has good large signal properties, securing good intermodulation characteristic.
The mixer transistors Q08 and Q09 are of the J-FET type.
The signal is led to the balanced input transformer TR2 and then to the gates of the J-FETS, which are
switched by injecting the first LO signal into the sources. The mixed signals are fed to the balanced output
transformer TR1 where the wanted signal on 15.3 MHz is selected by the tune circuit consisting of TR1 and
C75.
R06 and R01 create the necessary impedance matching the IF crystal filter.
5.4.3. CRYSTAL FILTER
The receiver adjacent channel selectivity is maintained by means of the crystal filter FL2 in co-operation with
the ceramic filter FL1. R57 and R39 give the impedance matching the crystal filter output.
5.4.4. IF AMPLIFIER
The transistor Q10 amplifies the signal to the 2nd mixer, which has a tuned drain circuit consisting of L04
and C32. R34 creates the impedance matching the 2nd mixer.
5.4.5. SECOND MIXER, CERAMIC FILTER, DETECTOR AND AF AMPLIFIER
The second LO signal 14.850 MHz is amplified in Q02 before it is delivered to the mixer.
The signal out of the mixer (450 kHz) is fed through the ceramic filter to the limiter amplifier and discriminator
in U03.
The phase shift network to the quadrangular discriminator consisting of R11, L06, C33, and a 10 pF capacitor
inside the IC.
AF output is led through a lowpass filter consisting of R36 and C74, which removes the high frequencies (450
kHz).
An internal operational amplifier amplifies the AF signal to 250 mV, which is adjusted by R20.
5.4.6. AF POWER AMPLIFIER
The AF power amplifier is capable of delivering 6 Watt in the internal loudspeaker (4 ohm) and 6 Watt in an
external loudspeaker 4 ohm.
The gain of 34 dB is fixed by the resistors R07, R08 and R09.
The AF power amplifier is muted (pin 11, 0 = off, 1 = on) about 1.25 sec. after the squelch is closed.
5.4.7. RF POWER AMPLIFIER
The power amplifier covering the frequency range 154.4 MHz to 163.6 MHz consists of a module with 50 ohm
terminations and 2 amplifiers. The first amplifier is the driver which has a gain of up to 12 dB, depending
on the driver voltage from Q01. The input is about 200 mW.
The second amplifier has a gain of 10 dB.
5.4.8. HARMONIC FILTER
The harmonic filter is realized as a seventh order Chebyscher filter, which at the same time will provide the
necessary attenuation of the harmonic generated by the power amplifier and a low insertion loss at the carrier
frequency.
The output is fed to the antenna relay.
Page 5-10
5 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION AND SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMSRT2048
5.4.9. RF POWER CONTROL
The power adjustment loop consists of Q04, Q03, Q05 and Q1.
Q04 is the power detector which together with Q03 forms a differential circuit.
The differential circuit controls Q05 and Q01 which are made as a Darlington transistor.
C22, R17, and R15 make a feed-back in order to slow down the loop.
Q12 controls the on/off function through the differential resistor R18.
Q06 is the power indicator transistor which gives the microcomputer information about power on the output from
the RF power amplifier.
This information is active about 0.3 Watt.
Q13 controls the 1 Watt/25 Watt change-over transistor Q07. If the power is lower than about 15 Watt in the 25 Watt
position the power indicator transistor Q06 will make a smooth change-over to 1 Watt position through resistor R61.
The 25 Watt adjustment is done on R21 and the 1 Watt adjustment is done on R19. The 25 Watt has to be adjusted
first because it has influence on the adjustment of 1 Watt.
5.4.10. 8V POWER SUPPLY
The regulator U01 is supplied from the internal 13V supply.
The adjustment of the voltage is done on resistor R04.
The 8V supply is divided into 2 more supplies in the antenna relay, the 8V TX supply and the 8 RX supply.

5.5.SELCALL UNIT (MODULE 5)
The input to the selcall is taken from the telephone output. The signal is first amplified and limited in U04/
2 and then it passes the bandpass filter. Finally the signal is rectified and compared with a reference level
in the comparator U04/1.
3.7125 MHz is divided in the programmable counter U06. The output of, this is divided by 2 and turned into
a square wave in the flip-flop U03/2. The outputs of the flip-flop is connected to the switches U02. The
frequency, at which the switches around the capacitors C03 and C04 are working, determines the resonance
frequency of the filter. Thus by changing the dividing figure to U06, it is possible to change the resonance
frequency of the filter.
With R01 it is possible to fine adjust the resonance frequency of the filter (see the adjustment procedure).
When the radio is switched on the dividing figure, corresponding to the first figure in the selcall number, is
shifted out on port B0 on the uC at the interface unit which is connected to the input of U07. U07 is a serial
to parallel shift register which converts the signal to the dividing figure U06. If the correct tone is received
the output of the comparator U4/1 goes low. This output is connected to the uC’s SEL-DET. pin. When the
tone disappears again the uC will put out the dividing figure corresponding to the next figure in the selcall
number.
If all five tones are received correctly, the port C06 (EXT. ALARM) on the uC goes high. This port is connected
to pin I on the connector to the option board at the RX/TX unit. At the same time the uC will send out an alarm
tone from D06 via the volume control and power amplifier to the loudspeaker. The alarm tone lasts for 10
secs after an individual call, and after an all call it lasts until the selcall has been reset. If the SELCALL
T/R button is activated the alarm circuits and indicators are tested.
