Connect a remote control Getting a second operation controller onboard is easy. Connect a second MF/HF controller to the transceiver and position the controller at a secondary location on the ship. The second MF/HF station is fully operable and you can transfer saved channel data to optimize your operation. Unified design The MF/HF controller design allows you to carry out all operations simply by using the same unified keyboard layout as found in JRC’s VHF radiotelephone. The keypad is solid and responsive, which allows for precise operation. The keys are also backlit, making it easy to operate in low-light settings on the bridge. NBDP (telex) option Complement your MF/HF with the NBDP* kit for telex communcation with shore radio stations and with other ships. It includes a10.4-inch data terminal equipment featuring a color display with a variety of color backgrounds. The LCD gives you a bright picture with excellent color consistency, even when you are viewing the display from the side. USB The USB 2.0 port located on the front panel allows you to connect a mass storage device to save and load messages. Flexible installation All MF/HF models are minimum configured as standard, consisting of a MF/HF controller+handset, transceiver and antenna tuner. The 150W model can be applied for non-solas vessels, but also configured with necessary options up to GMDSS A4 area. In contrast to the other two models, the 150W version has a smaller transceiver and antenna tuner which allows for a more flexible installation approach in confined spaces. High power models When more power output is required, simply select the 250W or 500W version. Additionally, the new 250W and 500W version come with a redesigned antenna tuner, transceiver and power supply designed to fit into an optional 19 inch rack :NCU-515A. Antenna tuner Outside mounting available as standard. Built-in antenna grounding circuit. Same mounting dimensions as preceding model (JSS-296/596). GMDSS console The MF/HF models can be installed together with a set of Inmarsat-C: JUE-87 in the optional GMDSS console: NCU-531A. Optionally the controller and handset of VHF radiotelephone: JHS-770S/780D can be installed in the same console.
