Interoperability 
Datron offers a complete line of HF transceivers covering 
the 1.6 to 30 MHz frequency band.  Its 7000-series 
transceivers are used throughout the world and are 
admired for their functionality and versatility.   Included 
in this family are the RT7000, a rugged, MIL, 125W 
transceiver for mobile or fixed-station usage, the 
TW7000, a 125W professional base-station transceiver, 
and the TW7000F, a transportable 125W unit with remote 
control head and deployable automatic antenna tuner.  
Datron also offers the PRC1099A, a 20W waterproof 
tactical manpack radio for either manpack or mobile 
usage. 
 
All of these transceivers are interoperable with one 
another, and all have available a comprehensive line of 
optional internal features that add considerable 
functionality to the standard product.  A list giving the part 
number of each option and a description of its 
functionality is shown in Figure 1 (the description of the 
option indicates which transceiver(s) the option works 
with).  All of the options listed can be ordered either with 
the radio or added on later as a simple field upgrade to 
units already in use.  The options are all contained on 
individual PC assemblies and can be installed in the field 
using standard tools.
 
 
 
Option Name Option Description   
7000ALE or 
1099ALE The ALE option (available for both the 7000-series radios and the PRC1099A) 
provides all the functions of FED-STD-1045A ALE including high-speed scanning, 
sounding, link quality analysis, selective calling, and orderwire (AMD) message 
capability.  All channel and ALE parameters can be programmed into the radios either 
from the front panel or using Datron’s custom RC2 radio control software program.  
The radio keypad or external PC-style keyboard can be used for message 
composition.  All messages, whether transmit or receive, are displayed on the radio’s 
custom LCD display and stored in memory. 
7000ACH  A 7000-series option that increases the number of available programmable memory 
channels from 256 to 1000. 
7000ENCR  A 7000-series option that provides high-level digital encryption of all voice 
transmissions.  A three-tiered key system with provision for up to 200 locals encryption 
keys programmable either from an external keyfill device or from the front panel of the 
radio.  A separate crypto management system is available to allow user selection and 
programming of encryption keys from an external PC.  (Note: the PRC1099A has an 
external encrypted handset (DSP9000HS) that is completely interoperable with the 
internal 7000-series PC module.)  
						

							Option Name Option Description   
7000HS  A 7000-series option that provides a reference frequency stability of 0.1 parts per 
million.  It replaces the standard reference with a precision OCXO.  (Note: the standard 
frequency stability of the 7000 transceivers is 0.5 ppm) 
7000NB  An impulse-type noise blanker that is designed to allow operation of the 7000-series 
transceivers in a high-noise environment, as in the presence of vehicle ignition noise.   
The noise blanker circuitry can be externally controlled from the front panel. 
7000RS  The 7000-series radios have two external COM ports, both of which are configured for 
RS232 operation.  The 7000RS option allows configuring the second port for 
RS422/423/485 protocols depending on the user requirements for external control of 
the radio by a computer. 
7000VEM  A DSP speech processing module for the 7000-series radios that improves the quality 
of received speech signals.  It allows the operator to select one of two available signal 
enhancement modes, either adaptive peaking or spectral subtraction, designed to 
remove less coherent forms of noise and/or subtract extraneous signals from the 
received audio to improve the overall signal-to-noise ratio. 
7000WB1  A 7000-series option that adds a second IF filter specially designed for the passage of 
data.  This is a wideband, 300 - 3300 kHz filter with specially tailored group delay 
characteristics (meets the requirements of STANAG 4285).  The filter is selectable 
from the front panel of the radio (data mode). 
7000CW  A 7000-series option that adds a narrowband IF filter specially designed for the 
passage of CW. 
7000GPS  An internal GPS receiver option. All GPS data can be displayed on the front panel of 
the radio. 
7000RF  An FSK modem for the 7000-series radios that allows communication with an external 
FSK remote control head. It permits control of the radio either locally from the front 
panel or remotely from the RT7201F Control Console over an audio 2-wire or 4-wire 
pair (with the radio being the “master”). Used when long-range remote control is 
required.  This option is standard in the “7000RF” models of the transceiver and 
permits “remote-only” operation. 
7000RI  An ISDN modem for the 7000-series radios that allows communication with an external 
ISDN remote control head. It permits control of the radio either locally from the front 
panel or remotely from the RT7201I Control Console.  When installed, it permits 
reliable “real-time” remote control up to 2 km. This option is standard in the “7000RI” 
models of the transceiver and permits “remote-only” operation. 
7000AIRSELCAL  Permits the 7000 radios to operate with the Motorola N1304 SELCAL device and 
Datron power amplifiers. It allows compliance with the ICAO-mandated Ground-to-air 
SELCAL 3-tone system. The operator selects the aircraft’s ID on the N1304, and 
presses the call button automatically placing the radio in transmit mode and initiating 
the sending of the appropriate call sequence to unlock the squelch of the target 
aircraft’s HF radio. Once the sequence is set, the radio returns to normal SSB mode. 
1099AAME  A PRC1099A option that allows the radio to operate in AME mode (Note: 7000-series 
radios have this feature built-in as standard). 
1099IBC  A PRC1099A option that permits charging of an attached NiCd battery from an 
external 11- 30 Vdc source.
