terrance.lee.florek 4/1/94 For sale: HAL ST-7000 HF packet modem. This is a superior front end for use on HF packet, rtty, and amtor. It has inputs for an HF and VHF radio and outputs for ttl, rs232, and tnc audio. This device can be used in front of any tnc that has a ttl external modem input (many tncs have one). It can also be used with a tnc that does not have the external modem input by using the tnc audio output. The rs232 output is intended for use with the HAL RPC-2000 pc interface card but since it is rs232 it can be used in many ways. When used with a PK232, the ttl output matches up perfectly and the unit provides a superior front end filtering. Cables to mate with the pk232 are provided. The nice feature about this unit is that it can be used with a standard VHF tnc such as the PK-88 or MFJ-1270 to provide very good HF packet operation. When used this way, The ST-7000 will convert the tones used on HF packet to the tones used on VHF packet and allow you to work HF packet without buying a new tnc. You can also thread the audio from your VHF receiver through the ST-7000 so that when it is powered, you are on HF and when it is shut off you are on VHF packet. It automatically does the switching between HF and VHF. All you need to do is set the Hbaud on your present tnc to 1200 for VHF operation and 300 for HF operation. This unit is supplied with cables for all inputs and outputs except the rs232. A very good manual and a technical paper describing the design theory is also included. I have used this unit on HF packet, rtty, and amtor with excellent results. It has a front panel tuning indicator and threshold adjustment. It is in excellent condition as is the documentation and cables. Asking $225.00 shipped. For more info call Terry WB9QDM at 317-842-9349 evenings or 317-845-6157 days.
