INTRODUCTION
The RT7000
The RT7000 transceiver provides a complete range of voice and data operation
over the entire 1.6 to 30 MHz HF spectrum. The RT7000 is microprocessor-
controlled and features a state-of-the-art DDS-based synthesizer. An LCD
provides channel and frequency data, feedback on other front panel control
functions, BITE information and order-wire text messages.
The RT7000 has continuous tuning and up to 1000 memory channels that can
be arranged in multiple scan groups. It has simplex and half-duplex capability
and a full alphanumeric keypad for frequency or text entry. The RT7000 is
packaged in a rugged, waterproof housing designed to withstand harsh
environments.
This manual describes the RT7000 including its installation, operation and
organizational maintenance features. For complete technical information, refer
to the RT7000 HF Transceiver technical manual (RT7000-MS).
