1-2 RT7000-MSOP
The RT7000-12 is powered from any DC source providing +13.8V at a
maximum of 25A. Good performance is achieved when the input voltage is in
the range of 11 to 15.5V. The RT7000-28 is powered from any DC source
providing +28 Vdc at a maximum of 15A (a range of 22 to 30 Vdc).
The RT7000 is used with broadband 50 ohm antennas or narrowband antennas
in conjunction with an automatic antenna tuner.
The RT7000 can be programmed and operated from its front panel or from an
external computer (if the ALE option is installed) utilizing a wide variety of
interface standards including RS232, 422 and 485.
Audio accessories available for use with the RT7000 include a heavy-duty
