FEATURES

Marine HF Radio

Marine HF Radio

Simplified Operation

  1. Large, clearly labeled Group and Channel knobs allow quick and intuitive channel/frequency selection.
  2. Each function button performs a single dedicated role, reducing operational complexity.
  3. A large easy‑to‑read display shows current channel or frequency and operating status at a glance.

Powerful Data Operation Capability

  1. High‑power transmitter delivers up to 150 W (PEP) for below 24 MHz bands, ensuring reliable long‑range communication.
  2. Transmitter power remains strong under heavy data use such as RTTY (radio teletype) or email transmission.
  3. On bands above 24 MHz, power output is typically reduced (e.g., around 60 W PEP).

Wideband Reception

  1. Wide coverage reception from 0.5 MHz up to 29.9999 MHz, enabling reception of multiple bands and signals, including weather information and general marine communications.
  2. Displays full frequency coverage with fine tuning around memory channels.

External Equipment Integration

  1. Two DIN connectors allow connection to external devices such as linear amplifiers, FSK terminals, email modems, and more.
  2. Includes an NMEA 0183 interface for integration with navigational and data systems.
  3. Optional built‑in 2‑tone alarm provides audio alert capability depending on version.

Optional Automatic Antenna Tuning

  1. Compatible with optional automatic antenna tuners (e.g., AT‑140 or AT‑130) to match the transmitter to various antenna types for optimal performance.
