SMPLUS - Station Manager + | ||||
datasheet | manual | price each: $299 |
Description |
The Station Manager+ (SM+) was designed to combine, into one enclosure, an assortment of amatuer radio accessories such as a wireless microphone/headphone, phone patch, audio mixer, CW ID'er and other devices and switch boxes to optimize integration of a station. To employ a full duplex wireless microphone/headphone of the wireless telephone type(Jabra GN9350E), an interface jack (RJ22)is provided. To maintain compliance with governmental requirements for periodic identification, a programmable CW ID'er is included with unique chromatic features. A mixer with gain controls are included to mix the ID'er audio with the wireless mic audio before it is directed to the transceiver mic audio input. To use two transceivers to implement a dual watch/dual diversity receive system requires an interface using a switch and steering diodes to control the secondary transceiver so it mutes during transmit on the primary transceiver. Also, to keep track of operator talking and receiving habits, i.e. the Talkometer feature was included. It is a periodic timer/counter that responds to on-the-air time and keeps track of talk time in respect to receive time. Also included is an AC line voltage monitor to track line voltage so the operator may check for high line voltage conditions which may be harmful to equipment such as amplifier tubes. The DC monitor keeps track of the voltage of any battery backup or DC power supply that the operator may employ. It also includes a programmable amplifier tuning pulser. All menus and settings are accessed through the menu buttons on the front panel. A 2 X 16 Character back lit LCD display is used to indicate all the settings and time keeping operations as well as the voltmeters. Six memory locations are available to store all the different settings for later recall.
