500W HF Transceiver for Reliable Communications

T-500 500W HF TRANSCEIVER

The Sunair T-500 500W MF/HF Transceiver (500W HF Transceiver) is the hallmark solution for mission-critical communications applications requiring hemispheric coverage.

The 1 kW HF transmitter system combines solid-state RF power amplification and control technology to produce a failsafe high power solution, and operates in a frequency range of 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz.

Maximum power output of Sunair T-500 500W MF/HF Transceiver (500W HF Transceiver) is 500W (500W average power) to facilitate long-range hemispheric communications when coupled with the appropriate antenna.

TheSunair T-500 500W MF/HF Transceiver (500W HF Transceiver) System is supplied as an integrated system consisting of the Sunair T-9000E Software-Defined Next Generation HF SSB/ISB Transmitter, the F-9810 Post-selector, and the LPA-9500 500W Power Amplifier. Maximum power output of Sunair T-500 500W MF/HF Transceiver (500W HF Transceiver) is 500W at 100% duty cycle to facilitate long-range communications when coupled with the appropriate antenna system. Output power is reducible to 500 W.
Standard input voltage is 115 / 230 Vac ±15 %; 50 / 60 Hz; single phase, with a modest power requirement of ≤ 4.6 kVA.

The amplifier architecture consists of four RF/PS modules producing over 300 W each, allowing the LPA-9500 to deliver conservative averages of 500 W. The radio, whether a T-9000E or RT-9000E, actively monitors system balance and performance, providing power control and safety shutdown in the event of internal module failure, system failures, or external failures such high antenna VSWR (as well as antenna short or open circuit) Advanced built-in-test (BITE) capability reports the status of the Sunair 500W System down to the Lowest Replaceable Unit (LRU) level providing English messages on the display of the radio, whether T-9000E or RT-9000E, and then to a remote site when configured. Individual LRU fault indication and the system’s intuitive modular design allows for ease
of maintenance and upgrade throughout the equipment life cycle at minimal expense.

Rack Mounting

Either Sunair system can be rack mounted into your existing racks using offered rackmount kits. Another option is for Sunair to provide a portable rack that is completely wired and set up to install the components at the destination site. Or, you can specify a rack and Sunair can prepare it for your system.

These high-performing niche products are in daily service as integral components of critical strategic communications solutions for leading defense, peacekeeping, and aviation agencies around the world.
