6801-S Mk2C

  An all solid state 120 watt PEP unit meeting

Third Schedule of Commonwealth Navigation

(Radio) Regulations.

 

Approved for limited coast station use and may be remotely controlled

 

This latest C series transceiver is electrically identical to the now superseded B series but new finish colours and front panel styling changes have been introduced to match other equipment in our product range.

A mute facility, operator selectable, effectively eliminates background (atmospheric) noise in the absence of a signal.

An impulse noise limiter, when selected, virtually eliminates interference from ignition and other sources during signal reception periods.

An optional alarm signal generator, internally fitted, complies with both international and Australian Department of Communications specifications.

Broadband block filtering design techniques in the transmitter output circuitry ensure that the unit can be inter-changed between installations without technician adjustment. Thick film and flow soldering ensures high reliability.

The transceiver case is effectively isolated from the primary source—no electrolysis problems.

The equipment is designed for easy maintenance and rapid installation and is backed by a 12 months warranty—service is available from an Australia-wide distributor network with Codan product expertise firmly established over many years of experience. This product is produced by Codan, the largest manufacturer in Australia of HF single sideband communications equipment and one that has achieved worldwide recognition with export to over 70 countries.

 

Antennas

A comprehensive range of operationally proven loaded marine whip antennas is available. The transceiver may also be used with conventional end-fed long wire (e.g. back-stay) antennas. Either antenna type must be installed and operated in conjunction with a suitable antenna tuner.
