Skanti TRP 8255 S

Origin:

Transceivers TRP 8255 S were built by Skanti (Denmark) as professionel Navy radios.

Plessey used them in radio containers under the name of Plessey 8255 as part of a semi automatic Communication systems for the GB Army.

The coputer systems of the radio containers (not the radios themselves) proved to be notoriously unreliable, so this communication system finally was scrapped.
That is why the high-quality transceivers are sold with very few operational hours. (This radio was used for 10 hours).

The components are:

Transceiver [ <-- Click ]

in duplex mode (simultaneous transmitting and receiving on different frequencies).


All operational steps are entered via the keyboard.

Frequency steps can be 10 hz, 100Hz, or 1 kHz , likewise any different frequency step can be chosen by the operator.

Operational element [ <-- Click ]

Usually the operational element is screwed to the top of the transceiver.
There are far kmore possibilities to operate the radio:, for example.:

Operation as a stand olone radio;

Remote control by computer via telephone line;

remote control only by telephone line;

Remote control by remote operational element.

PSU P 8250 (optional) [ <-- Click ]

The PSU can use 110, 120, 220 or 240V AC. It provides the
32 V DC needed for the transceiver.
