SEA 235 150W HF/SSB Digital Radiotelephone

Instructions

• The SEA 235 is one of the first MF/HF SSB radiotelephones with Digital Signal Processing (DSP) as its fundamental architecture.
  • DSP end-user benefits include:
  • More talk power than radiotelephones with equal power ratings
  • Virtually error free transition for voice and data
  • Clear audio with enhanced clarity and reception
  • Receives future enhancements and improvements through software upgrades
  • Flexible application filters configured through software
  • Increased reliability over analog filters
  •  Email and Data capability
  • Amateur bands with HAM/MARS operations
  • Frequently used channels are pre-programmed from factory using alpha-numeric names for easy recall
  • True AM receiver for clear undistorted reception
  • Large easy to read LCD & backlit silicone keypad
  • Optional 2350 Remote Control Heads (up to 3)
  • Interfaces with SEA 1612C automatic antenna tuner
  • Interfaces to PACTOR II and ALE Controllers
• The SEA 235 is an MF/HF SSB radiotelephone designed and built on a fully digital platform. This revolutionary radio is unequaled in performance, price, reliability, and flexibility for use in numerous special applications.
• Digital architecture makes the SEA 235 more reliable. It is also smaller and lighter than most MF/HF Single Side Band radios in the Marine marketplace.
• The SEA 235 design has proven to be extremely reliable and capable of sustaining high performance communications in harsh environments and under extreme signal conditions.
• Flexible SEABUSS interconnection supports multiple devices, balanced/unbalanced audio lines, and simplifies PACTOR and ALE controller interfaces.
• SEA has consistently provided competitively priced HF/MF SSB radiotelephones for more than 30 years.
• SEA MF/HF SSB radiotelephones have won numerous awards for excellence.
• SEA COM CORP has a worldwide service network to support all of its products, ensuring backup support almost anywhere in the world your ship is operating.
