  • Notes
  • Marina 150, 150 W HF, AM Marine Transceiver.

    • 150 watts input to give 100 watts aerial power output now permitted on all medium and H.F. marine channels.
    • Models available for 12v or 24v battery supply.
    • Maximum range with excellent modulation and reliability achieved through high-efficiency transmitter and fully transistorised receiver.
    • The complete transceiver has 24 transistors, 18 diodes and 4 valves.
    • Simplicity of transmitter tuning any one of eight crystal locked pre-tuned channels selected by one knob. One vernier control knob sets absolute maximum output power when required for extra long range transmission.
    • Output meter and tuning light show level of radiated signal. In addition, the meter also indicates voltage of battery.
    • Non-corrosive chassis and case made entirely from anodised aluminium with attractive and functional anodised aluminium control panel ensures long life under all conditions.
    • Eight crystal locked receiver channels plus continuously tuneable receiver from 1.6 to 10 MHz covers all medium and H.F. marine channels, other radio-telephone services, also local and overseas short-wave stations. In addition, the receiver tunes over the entire broadcast band.
    • Highly efficient automatic noise limiter and in-built filters cut engine noise underway and greatly reduces manmade and atmospheric static for reception in difficult areas.
    • Automatic audio volume control limiter keeps both weak and strong signals to near uniform level.
    • Particularly prevents extremely high volume and receiver overload from transceivers in boats anchored nearby.
    • Provision for external speaker, remote microphone, remote aerial tuning units and connection of additional monitor or broadcast receiver to transceiver aerial.
  • Net weight (2.2 lb = 1 kg)
  • 27 lb 0 oz (27 lb) / 12.258 kg
