SAILOR COMPACT 2000 PROGRAMME

VHF RT2047

ENGLISH

The SAILOR RT2047 VHF radiotelephone has been designed to be used with the SAILOR Compact 2000 module programme. The SAILOR RT2047 can either be installed and operated as an independent unit, or in combination with other elements of the Compact 2000 module programme. These include a coast telephony station with a 400 Watt PEP SSB transmitter, an SSB receiver with built-in FM and AM bands, and a scrambler which ensures complete communication secrecy. The SAILOR VHF RT2047 has, by means of the latest technology in casting technique, been constructed to withstand the most extreme conditions experienced in small, semi-open boats. Its compact, weatherproof 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, SAILOR 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. SAILOR 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 distributors, represented in approx fifty countries. All our distributors are well-trained and able to service all SAILOR products.

OPERATING

The operating panel is provided with the so-called membrane switches instead of the traditional pushbuttons. These require only a light pressure and are extremely reliable. Keyed operations appear instantly on the large, liquid crystal display in conrmation of the keys which have been operated. The read-out thus functions as a positive checking device. All operating facilities are tted with night illumination.

SIMPLEX COMMUNICATION

All ship/ship and some ship/port communications are carried out in the simplex mode. This means that the handset key switch is depressed while the message is delivered, ending with the word „over“ The switch is now released, allowing the other party to reply.

PRIVATE CHANNELS

There is standard provision for the programming of up to 20 private channels. However, it is possible to increase the total to 67 private channels.

A private channel is indicated on the display with a “P“ in front of the channel number.

Private channels include shing and leisure channels as well as the special channels allocated by post and telegraph authorities.

DUPLEX COMMUNICATION

All shipicoast station communications and some ship/port communications are in the duplex mode This is two-way communication where the handset switch is depressed throughout thus making it possible to hear the other party whilst one is speaking - just as on an ordinary telephone.
