THE TOTAL SYSTEM
SOLUTION FOR YOUR TACTICAL
HF COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS

RT7000 Transceiver

The EiKa-Tronic RT7000 Series is an advanced transceiver system which

provides the total system solution for all your tactical HF requirements.
The system is rugged, reliable, and easy to use. It provides long distance voice and data transmission
capability over the 1.6-30 MHz high frequency (HF) range at power levels up to 1000 W. The
knowledge and experience gained from 20 years in the HF radio business was used to develop this
completely new product family which utilizes the very latest in electronic and packaging technologies.
Using multiple microprocessors and new technologies such as Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and
Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS), the RT7000 provides built-in features such as Automatic Link
Establishment, Voice Enhancement, and Encryption. These powerful technologies and features have
been carefully balanced with the need for ease of operation, high reliability, simple maintenance, and
affordability.

12- and 28-Volt Models

The RT7000 is available in both 12- and 28-V models for use in both
military and commercial vehicles. Full protection is provided against
reverse polarity over/under voltage, power surges and spikes.

BITE Capability
Automatic BITE capability with fault isolation to the lowest repairable
unit (LRU), is standard in the RT7000. BITE status messages, which
cover a variety of possible failure modes, are presented on the display

Reliable Multi-Level Power Amplifier

Output power is conservatively rated at 125-W PEF, 100-W average,
in continuous keydown operation. Three front-panel-programmable
levels are available which default to 5, 20, and 125 watts. Complete
VSWR protection is provided.

Advanced Receiver Design

Designed to cope with today's crowded, noisy HF spectrum, the
RT7000's receiver performance is on a par with most dedicated
surveillance receivers.

Microprocessor Control
Two high-performance processors are used to control the operation of
the RT7000.

Direct Digital Synthesizer

An advanced fast-switching DDS circuit is the heart of the RT7000
synthesizer. It provides a low-noise and spurious output, and permits
fast scanning and high resolution. Although 10-Hz channel spacing is
standard, the synthesizer is capable of operating in 1-Hz steps for
special applications.

This allows even unskilled operators to troubleshoot the radio easily at

the field level.

RT7000 Options
Remote-Control Capability
A variety of remote-control capabilities are offered. An extended front
panel control can be used as a controller for short distance operation.
Full-function remote control is available using either the ISDN protocol
(medium distances) or FSK tones (unlimited distances) over any
voice-grade 2- or 4-wire line. The RT7000 is also capable of full
computer control utilizing a variety of interface standards.

Dual ALE Capability Options

In addition to the widely used and cost-effective TRANSCALL system,
the RT7000 also offers a full FED-STD-1045 (MIL-STD-188-141A)
compatible Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) system which
provides advanced features such as high-speed scanning, sounding,
link-quality analysis, and send/receive orderwire message capability
Both of these ALE options provide selective calling as well as "bestavailable-channel" selection.

DSP Voice Enhancement

The

Enhancement option reduces the effects of various types of noise and

interference on voice communications.

High Level Encryption Option

This plug-in option provides high-level digital encryption of both voice
and low speed data communications. It is interoperable with the
popular TCC 9000 series.
