  • 500 kHz to 30 MHz continuous receiver coverage
  • 1.8 MHz to 30 MHz transceiver coverage within legal spectrum allocations
  • 80 channel memory fop frequency, mode and RF power setting
  • Simple to operate with lapge LCD display and memory channel scan
  • Adjustable RF power output in 4 increments 15W, 25W, 50W and 100W
  • lnternal and external antenna tuner options
  • Data Communications capable up to 300 bps AFSK/FSK
  • Optional Selective Call System (with optional KPE-1)
  • VOX capability with optional Phone Patch interface


OTHER FEATURES 

The TRC-80's/TK-80 design combines a high-performance HF transceiver with elegant user simplicity, all rolled into a tough, compact package that will deliver many years of dedicated field service.

The large backlit LCD display provides high visibility in most lighting conditions, with alphanumeric channel designations up to 7 characters, frequency, memory channel number, mode, signal meter, and transmit indicator.

80 Memory channels are available for custom set-up of transceiver and monitoring frequencies.

Memory Channel Scan features carrier-operated and time-operated modes; receive threshold for both can be dynamically controlled by adjusting the squelch volume.

Selective Calling System is an option (KPE-1 required) that enables individual, group or open calling, and is ideal for distributed networks of HF transceivers.

VOX (Voice Operated Xmit) is another feature that makes the TRC-80/TK-80 convenient and easy to use.  And with the optional PC-1A Phone Patch Interface it provides telephone patch capabilities as well.

Data Mode at the touch of a button allows computer communications on USB/LSB at up to 300 bps in AFSK or FSK modes.  Useful for data acquisition, text-based file transfers and other low-speed data communications applications.

Tough aluminum monocoque chassis provides reliable performance year after year in adverse climatic conditions, from the Antarctic to the Amazon.  Meets MIL-STD 810D specifications.

All mode General Coverage receiver from 500 kHz through 30 MHz continuous for easy monitoring of all HF bands.

100 Watts output with an antenna tuner gives you the punch needed to drive any antenna system.  The RF output is adjustable in 4 steps, 100W, 50W, 25W and 15W, which can be assigned to any memory channel.  The maximum output is also dealer-adjustable down to 50W, 25W and 15W.

lnternal or External Antenna Tuner options gives you a flexible range of antenna choices.  The internal KAT-2 does not increase the size of the radio, and is ideal for yagi, ground plane and dipole type antennas.  The external KAT-1 is for mounting at the base of a periodic antennas such as whips and long wires.

Advanced Intercept Point (AIP) feature expands dynamic range and minimizes cross-talk interference (dealer setting).  In addition, the Noise Blanker cuts pulse-type noise and the optional 500 Hz CW filter (YK-107C) reduces interference for morse code operation.

CW full and semi break-in can be set with the key delay time control.

The Clarifier allows fine adjustment of receive frequency for best audio clarity, set up by the dealer in either 10 Hz or 1Hz steps.
