R&S®GS2110 RX/TX Interface
For controlling a detached receiver or transceiver in various applications
The optional RX/TX Interface R&S® GS2110 can be used for the following three applications:
- DSC-NMEA interface for transceiver control
- Control interface for a detached receiver (R&S® EK895)
- Control interface for a detached transceiver (R&S® XK2000)
NMEA-183
For naval applications in line with GMDSS regulations, an external DSC (digital selective call) controller drives an HF transceiver of the R&S® XK2000 family via a standardized NMEA-183 interface. It is thus possible to receive emergency calls using an external receiver, to evaluate them and to answer or send emergency calls at HF distress frequencies in accordance with internationally accepted GMDSS procedures.
The second application of the RX/TX Interface R&S® GS2110 is the control of a detached receiver from the transceiver or receiver/exciter of the R&S® XK2000 family. A typical application is duplex operation involving the simultaneous transmission and reception at two frequencies. The receiver (R&S® EK895) up to 2 km away is controlled via this interface, and the received AF is available in the transceiver.
The third application is transceiver control/audio/data from a detached control device.
Plug-in interface with 2 Cannon connectors
- NMEA-183: DSC-R&S® XK2000 control interface
- REMOTE RX/TX: RS-232-C serial control and receiver audio, to/from R&S® EK895, R&S® GX2900.xx or transceiver (R&S® XK2000)
