INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL FEATURES
The Racom Model 1402 is a sophisticated state of the art Morse
Code Station Identifier which is designed with the professional
communications specialist in mind. The 1402, when optioned
correctly, will interface easily to any communications system,
and will provide years of maintenance-free service. Low-power
consumption, high noise immunity CMOS logic circuits and
microprocessor are used throughout for dependable operation in
areas where RF radiation can cause havoc with lesser equipment.
Usage of a microprocessor approximated signwave completely
eliminates key clicks that are common to most identifiers. All
CMOS circuits have protected circuitry against static damage.
Racom products are built on 1/16" thick glass-epoxy printed
circuit boards, with all ICs mounted in sockets for ease of
service. The strict usage of name brand top quality components
and high degree of craftsmanship make RACOM the name to know in
the communications field. As a further assurance, RACOM station
identifiers are subjected to a pre-inspection, electronic
calibration, performance tests, a 48 hour cycling test (burn-in),
and a functional operation test prior to shipment.
USAGE OF THE RACOM 1402 IDENTIFIER
The 1402 identifier is capable of producing any Morse Code call
sign that has between one and twelve alphabetical or numerical
characters. The 1402 may be programmed with the Morse Code
characters A through Z, 0 through 9, the symbols / and - and a
"space" (no audio). Any of these Morse characters, in any
desired order, can be accessed by proper setting of a series of
subminiature switches located on the printed circuit board. The
twelve call letters may be optionally proceeded by "DE" (meaning
from).
The standard Model 1402 is capable of several distinct operating
modes which comply with FCC part 81 and 90 regulations. With a
wide variety of external hookup schemes, the 1402 can easily
function in these situations:*
1) Paging operations
2) Business Radios (mobile or base stations)
3) Local and remote control stations (repeaters)
4) Amateur radio stations
5) Marine Applications
6) Unmanned test stations or warning systems
7) Public Safety or emergency radio systems
* Always check specific FCC qualifications for your particular
station before using an automatic identifier.
