RT2048
1. INTRODUCTION
The RT2048 VHF radiotelephone has been designed to comply with the increasing demands of a highly technological
product, which means high quality, small size, etc.
The RT2048 is furthermore designed to fit into the Compact 2000 module programme.
The RT2048 can either be installed and operated as an independent unit, or in combination with other elements of
the Compact 2000 programme. These include a Duplex VHF radiotelephone, a coast telephone station with a 400W
PEP SSB transmitter and an SSB receiver with built-in FM and AM bands, and a scrambler which ensures complete
communication secrecy.
The VHF RT2048 has, by means of the latest technology in casting technique, been constructed to withstand the
most extreme conditions experienced in small, semi-open boats. The printed circuits inside are designed with a high
degree of compactness and exceptional performance.
In the design of this VHF radiotelephone, Thrane & Thrane have taken into account all the circumstances it will be
exposed to in day-to-day operation. However, even a product of this high quality requires regular servicing and
maintenance, and we recommend a close observance of the directions contained in the instruction book.
