R&S®XK2100L HF Transceiver

The R&S^®XK2100L 19" desktop, 150 W HF transceiver for the 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz frequency range can be operated locally as well as remotely via an integrated, multistandard serial interface. For the local mode, a user-friendly, large backlit LCD display is provided, delivering a bright picture together with function-assigned softkeys. These control elements allow programming of approx. 1000 channels as the well as complete operation and configuration of the transceiver via user-specific menus (incorporated as firmware).

The R&S^®XK2100L can also be operated remotely. Same as from the front panel, all settings of the transceiver can be made via the RS-232-C/485 interface (integrated and configurable).

The following remote control units can be used:

• R&S^®GP2000 remote control processor
• R&S^®GB2000 remote control unit
• Terminal
• PC with RS-232-C/RS-485 interface

The R&S^®XK2100L base unit comes with free slots at the rear to take up user-specific interface options for matching the system or user units.

R&S^®XK2100L base unit is powered from a nominal 26.5 V DC source (21 V to 31 V).

For AC operation of the transceiver an external power supply (R&S^®IN4000A) with autoranging to the available power line (90 V to 2654 V) is used. Moreover, a 24 V standby battery can be connected to the R&S^®IN4000A for interrupt-free operation of the transceiver in the event of a power failure.

If the transceivers are operated in DATA mode, i.e. continuously at full transmit power, the use of the blower unit option (R&S^®KL2100) mounted at the rear is mandatory.

The R&S^®GVxx, R&S^®FK21xx, and R&S^®GS21xx interface options that are plugged in at the rear of the R&S^®XK2100L transceivers allow easy connection or matching to external options such as a system processor, HF modem, detached duplex or emergency receiver (GMDSS).

Up to four interface options can be inserted into the free slots at the rear.
