SECTION 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This publication provides operating and installation information on the TDFM-7000 airborne
transceiver. The exact configuration depends on which and how many RF modules are
installed.
1.2 DESCRIPTION
The TDFM-7000 transceiver is an airborne multi-band radio capable of operation in
conventional analog and P25 digital FM systems, SmartNet/SmartZone trunking systems
and P25 9600 trunking systems.
Type I
RF modules are available in VHF, UHF-LO, UHF-HI
and 800 MHz bands.
Type II
RF modules support additional optional features not available in
type I modules and are currently available in VHF, UHF-LO, UHF-HI and 700/800 MHz.
These optional additional features include P25 9600 trunking that may be combined with
AES and/or DES-OFB encryption with OTAR in any of the available modules. The factory
will normally install only type II RF modules as the type I modules have limited availability.
However type I modules are fully supported and either some or all of the TDFM-7000’s RF
modules can be type I. If a unit is built with both types, two different programming
software packages will have to be purchased.
The TDFM-7000 is not normally frequency agile. In order to have the ability to change the
frequencies at the front panel, the FPP (front panel programming) option must be ordered
for each band. FPP is only available on the VHF and UHF modules. The FPP option precludes
trunking and limits available channels to 240 (15 zones/16 channels) on that module instead
of 1000 channels. Please note that all 240 memories must be filled if FPP is ordered.
1.3 MODEL
VARIATION
There are several variations of the Model TDFM-7000 Transceiver. Each variation offers
different features and performance based on the type of RF modules and options installed.
Irrespective of module type the bands are numbered 1, 4, 5 and 8 for VHF, UHF low, UHF
Hi and 800/700 respectively. The transceivers part number indicates whether Type I (-1, -2)
or Type II (-3, -4) modules are installed along with which type of modules are installed.
The following part numbers represent typical TDFM-7000 model variations:
