GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION
The RT2047 VHF Radiotelephone has been designed to be used with the Compact 2000 Module
Programme.
The VHF RT2047 can either be installed and operated as an independent unit or in combination with the
other modules in the Compact 2000 programme. These modules include a complete range of SSB
transmitters and receivers, MF/HF Digital Selective Calling unit and/or radiotelex equipment, a scrambler
that ensures complete communication secrecy and a VHF Digital Selective Call (DSC) unit. The DSC-
unit features direct dialling and reception of ship to shore, shore to ship and ship to ship calls as well as
automatic distress calls etc.
The VHF RT2047 has been constructed to withstand the most extreme conditions experienced in small,
semi-open boats. Its compact, weather proof construction ensures a degree of resistance to sea spray.
The printed circuits, which have made possible a combination of compactness and exceptional
performance, are coated with a special, moisture-repellent lacquer.
In the design of this VHF radiotelephone, S. P. Radio have taken into account all conditions it will be
exposed to in day-to-day operation. However, even a product of this high quality requires regular service
and maintenance, and we recommend the user to observe the maintainence instructions in the instruction
book.
S. P. Radio is Europe’s leading producer of maritime radio communication equipment - a position which
has been maintained by means of constant and extensive product development. We have a world-wide
network of dealers with general agencies in fifty countries. All our dealers are well-trained and will be able
to service all products.
