The FS2570 is a MF/HF radiotelephone that is fully capable of
GMDSS operations. In addition to standard radio operation, it can
operate as DSC (Digital Selective Call) on general communications
and as a DSC Watch Receiver on all distress and safety frequencies
in MF and HF bands. A telex modem (NBDP) accompanies the transceiver
unit for general message transfer and distress message/maritime
safety information handling, satisfying the carriage requirements
for GMDSS A3-A4 sea areas.
The FS2570 maintains a continuous watch on a distress call, even
while you are exchanging normal voice messages. The DSC channels can
be individually set or all selected channels can be automatically
scanned. When a DSC message is received, the radiotelephone gives
audible and visual alarms. It works on all authorized transmit
frequencies between 1.6 and 27.5 MHz. Receiver frequencies are
selectable between 100kHz and 30Mhz in 10Hz steps. The transmit and
receive frequencies can be selected separately or in pair. The
digital frequency synthesizer provides high frequency stability for
DSC and NBDP as well as telephony operation.
IB583 Terminal
The IB583 is a 10.4" color LCD display for use with RC1800 series
GMDSS consoles. The IB583 displays messages at 72 characters/line
with 25 lines/screen. File management, text editor and utility
programs ensure easy operation. The terminal also comes with a disk
drive.
INMARSAT-C MES FELCOM 15
The Inmarsat-C system provides a quality two-way telex and data
link between ships and other parties at sea or on land. The Felcom
15 provides all functions and services of the Inmarsat-C system: EGC
(safety NET/FleetNET), distress message handling, two-way digital
store-and-forward messaging including polling, data reporting,
E-mail, etc.
Distress alerts are initiated by the remote distress alert unit.
The distress message including own ship's position is easily edited.
The distress alert button is incorporated in the display for
emergencies. Data files and utility programs on floppy disks are
easily loaded into the processor through the front loading disk
drive in the display unit
