Introduction
The Wulfsberg "2000" family of Flexcomm products are comprised of the P-2000 panel mount transceiver and the
RT-2000 remote mount transceiver which is controlled by the C-2000 control head. The P-2000 and RT-2000 are
capable of being populated with one or two ITM's (Internal Transceiver Modules) covering any combination of the
following frequency bands: VHF 136-174 MHz, UHF -1 (403-470 MHz), UHF -2 (450-520 MHz) and UHF800
(806-870 MHz). For applications where multiple points of user operation are required, one or more C-2000's can be
added.
For purposes of this manual the term "P-2000" shall be used to describe a P-2000 or C-2000/RT-2000 installation.
The features and user interface are identical in both systems.
Features
The P-2000 provides a host of powerful features, including:
• Multi-band operations: One or Two ITM's covering any combination of the following frequency bands:
• 136 - 174 MHz (10/1 Watt Transmit Power)
• 403 - 470 MHz (10/1 Watt Transmit Power)
• 450 - 520 MHz (10/1 Watt Transmit Power)
• 806 - 870 MHz (3/1 Watt Transmit Power)
• Clear and bright Color LCD display showing Active/Standby channel selection along with other critical
operational information.
• 255 Preset channel memory in each internal transceiver module.
• The powerful yet incredibly simple user interface that allows the user to select channels using the firm tactile
feedback keypad or rotary knobs.
• Modulation types available in the P-2000 include FM analog, P25 Digital conventional, P25 Trunking and
Motorola 3600 Baud Trunking. Transceivers are capable of operating on 12.5 kHz, 20.0 kHz, and 25.0 kHz
channels depending on options.
• Multiple types of encryption are available as options (AES, DES, DES-XL, DES-OFB, DVP and DVI). In
addition, MDC1200 OTAR and P25 OTAR are standard in all models that include encryption capability.
• One or Two microphone/headset interfaces are supported. This provides retrofit applications the ability to use
both transceivers even if only one microphone/headset port is available on the aircraft audio panel system. If
two microphone/headset ports are used, the P-2000 is capable of independent operation of each ITM. In other
words, one user can be operating on FM1 while the other user independently uses FM2.
• Advanced multi-radio modes, such as Relay, Simulcast and Relay-Simulcast.
• Programming port on the front of the panel allows for computer loading of channel information and encryption
key loading.
• Wulfsberg's exclusive QMEM (Quick Memory) function allows for fast access to preset memory channels.

Transceiver Overview
The Wulfsberg 2000 family of radio products is a group of FM Tactical transceivers that incorporate one or two
transceiver modules and control functions into a single panel mount unit (P-2000) or a panel mount control head
(C-2000) and remote mount RT-2000 Transceiver.
the following frequency bands: 138-174 MHz, 403-470 MHz, 450-520 MHz, and 806-870 MHz. Each transceiver
module, with the exception of the 806-870 MHz band, can transmit with either 1 or 10 watts transmit power. The
800 MHz unit produces either 1 or 3 watts transmit power. The P-2000 can operate by itself or in conjunction with
the C-2000 control display acting as a remote slave control. Input voltage is 28 volts DC and the keypad is backlit
from either 28VDC, 5 VDC or 5 VRMS AC.
The Wulfsberg C-2000 is a control display unit that can be used as a slave control head with a P-2000 panel mount
transceiver, or as either a primary or slave control head for the RT- 2000 remote transceiver. Versions of the
C-2000 include black faceplate and options for either Standard or NVG compatible displays. Input voltage is 28
volts DC and the keypad is backlit from either 28 VDC, 5 VDC or 5 VRMS.
The Wulfsberg RT-2000 is a remote mounted transceiver that incorporates one or two transceiver modules in a
remote mounted unit. It must be controlled by at least one C-2000 control head. Additional C-2000's can be added
to the system for multi-positional control of the transceiver.
The P-2000 or C-2000/RT-2000 systems operate identically with the exception of the PC/Keyloading interface. For
a P-2000 the interface is located on the front of the P-2000. In a C-2000/RT-2000 system, the connector on the
RT-2000 is used for PC/Keyloading functions. The connector on the C-2000 is not currently used.
Part number variations of the unit exist for any combination of
NOTE:
For the purposes of this operator’s manual the use of the phrase “P-2000” will be used to cover
both P-2000 and C-2000/RT-2000 systems.

The Home Page
The HOME PAGE is the primary operational page of the P-2000. The HOME PAGE becomes visible when the
P-2000 is ready for user input, immediately after the power up and initialization sequences have completed. When
viewing the HOME PAGE, Radio 1 (Also called FM1 or Transceiver #1) is always displayed on the top section.
Radio 2 is always displayed on the bottom section. All keypad-initiated operations are performed on the active
radio. The active radio easily distinguished by the bright blue color. The cursor is the square box that is located
either around the channel number or around the channel alpha identifier. It can be quickly toggled between the
channel number and alpha identifier using the Select Knob.
The following illustration is an example of what the HOME PAGE looks like.
CURSOR
FM 1 Discreet Indicators
FM 1 Information
ACTIVE Channel
STANDBY Channel
FM 2 Information
Channel Alpha Identifier
System Status Information
The home page is divided into 3 areas – FM 1 information (top), FM 2 information (middle), and an area for system
status or system prompts (bottom). Notice in the picture above that the area in blue contains the information for FM
1. FM 1 will always be on the top. The names “FM1”, “FM2” can be changed in the system setup so that users can
change it to something more meaningful to their use such as “VHF” or “MAIN”.
ACT/SBY - The normal operating mode of the P-2000 is very similar to most ATC COMM radios. The user tunes
the Standby channel and then “flip-flops” it into the Active channel position using the TRANSFER button. The
radio is loaded with Active channel. The standby channel is ONLY used as a scratchpad for selecting the next
channel.
As an alternative to using the ACTIVE/STANDBY mode, the operator can press and hold the transfer button for 3
seconds and the STANDBY channel will disappear and now the user can tune the active channel directly. Either
mode can be selected in the System Setup Mode as the default mode of operation.
Notice the square box (CURSOR) around the SBY channel number 104. This indicates the system will tune the
Standby channel number. The cursor can be moved around the Alpha Identifier and channels will be selected
alphabetically.
STATUS LINE - The status line is located on the very bottom of the display and it is where the user will be
prompted to either input more information via the keypad. It is also used to display the Message Indictor used to
show there is a system message to view. In this case the user should put the MSG button to show the Message page.

Turning the System On and Off
To power-on the P-2000, press and hold the PWR button (push in the TUNE Knob) for approximately one second
and release. Several version number and copyright pages appear on the display while the unit performs a self-test
and initializes the attached radio systems. When initialization is complete, the HOME PAGE will appear on the
display.
To power the P-2000 OFF, press and hold the PWR button for 3 seconds. The following message flashes on the
display several times:
Continue to hold the PWR button until the message stops flashing and the display turns off.
If aircraft power is removed while the P-2000 is in operation, the P-2000 will store the following information to
memory so that when power is re-applied the system will be at the same operating point:
1. Current active and standby channels for FM1 and FM2.
2. Current volume levels for FM1 and FM2.
If the operator releases the “PWR” button prior to 3 seconds elapsing, the display will return its previous state.

Setting the Display Brightness
When the user presses the DIM button, the display brightness adjustment display appears. When the Tune Knob is
turned clockwise, the display brightness increases in intensity. When the Tune Knob is turned counter-clockwise,
the display brightness decreases in intensity. The Brightness display disappears when no Tune Knob activity has
been present for more than 2 seconds.
Setting the Volume Level
When you first power on the P-2000, the volume levels for both transceivers will be reset to the level that was active
when the unit was powered down. You can change the volume level as follows.
When the user turns either of the volume knobs, the volume adjustment display will appear. When the upper
volume knob is turned, the volume adjustment display will appear on the upper half of the screen, and will adjust the
volume on FM1 transceiver. Likewise, when the lower volume knob is turned, the volume adjustment display will
appear on the lower half of the screen, and will adjust the volume on FM2 transceiver. The display below depicts
the volume adjustment display when the upper volume knob has been turned. Turning the volume knob clockwise
will increase the volume level, while turning the knob counter-clockwise will decrease the volume level. The
current volume level will be displayed within the display. If the volume is turned all the way down to the off
position, the bar will turn red and the Mute indicator will be displayed on the main page.
To test the current volume level, press the volume knob and noise should be heard in the headset. The volume
adjustment display will automatically disappear if when no knob turning activity has occurred for more than 2
seconds.

Wulfsberg Electronics P-2000 and C-2000/RT-2000 Operator’s Manual
Selecting the Active Transceiver
To make FM1 or FM2 the “active transceiver” means that the keypad/rotary knobs will perform operations on that
transceiver. The active transceiver is always highlighted in a bright blue color. As shown in the picture below, FM1
is the active transceiver.
FM #1 Select
To make FM1 the active transceiver: Push the FM #1 SELECT BUTTON (shown above). Pushing the FM #2
SELECT BUTTON will make FM2 the active transceiver and the blue highlight will be moved to the FM2 area of
the display (shown below).
FM #2 Select
When the P-2000 operating in MODE 1 (only one headset shared between two transceivers), the active transceiver is
the one that will be used for transmitting. In MODE 1, the transceivers (FM1 and FM2) will have their receive
audio summed together and sent to the headset. The operator must choose which transceiver will be used when they
want to transmit.

Wulfsberg Electronics P-2000 and C-2000/RT-2000 Operator’s Manual
Selecting a Standby Channel Using the Cursor/Tune Knob
When the P-2000 first powers on, the selected channels will be set to those that were active when the unit was
powered down. To select a different preset channel, do the following:
Using the Select Knob, put the square cursor around the channel number. Turn the Tune Knob until the channel is
your desired channel. If you wish to make this your active channel, push the transfer button.
Selecting a Channel Using the Keypad
Occasionally, it is desirable to select a preset channel by entering its number via the keypad, rather than dialing it in
with the Select/Tune knobs. This can be performed as follows.
When the user presses the CHAN key, the keypad channel entry mode will begin. This mode allows the user to tune
a channel by inputting the desired channel’s number into a field via the keypad. The figure below depicts this mode
of channel tuning. If no keypad input is received for more than 4 seconds, the operation will automatically cancel.
Pressing the HOME key operation will also cancel the operation. When the user presses the ENTER key, the
channel with the number input into the field will be loaded. If the input channel number is invalid, an error tone will
sound, and the previous “good” channel will be reinstated.
