Introduction

The SKANTI TRP 1150 is a new generation of highly integrated MF/HF radiocommunication
systems for GMDSS. These systems comply with the latest requirements within maritime
MF/HF communication.
The TRP 1150 is a general purpose 150 W transceiver designed for maritime applications
covering the frequency range 1.6 – 30 MHz. The equipment offers simplex and semi duplex
radiotelephone communication with the built-in DSC fulfilling the GMDSS requirements for
MF equipment including the recommendations and specifications of the IMO and ETSI as
well as relevant national specifications.
The equipment consists of three main units:
- The compact Transceiver Control Unit (TCU 1150) with integrated DSC operation.
- The 150 W Transceiver Unit (TU 1150) with integrated DSC modem and DSC watch
receiver.
- The ruggedized weatherproof automatic Antenna Tuning Unit (ATU 1150)
Easy operation is one of the key features of the TRP 1150. This has been achieved by
making the operation similar to that of the associated SKANTI VHF 1000 DSC. Operation of
the TRP 1150 is very easy with guided DSC operation.
