Top of the Line Controller
This is the Cadillac and the Corvette of data controllers rolled into one.
Work satellites, HF, VHF, even Gateway between HF and VHF. The DSP-2232 with two
simultaneous ports, provides a new level of performance and versatility in data
controllers.
Built for the Future The great advantage
of having Digital Signal Processors in your data controller is that new modems
or modes only require new software. Unlike an analog modem which usually
requires that new hardware be installed. In addition, DSPs provide filtering
that analog machines just can't match.
All Proven Modes PACTOR, VHF/HF Packet,
AMTOR/SITOR, Baudot, ASCII, Morse, TDM, and NAVTEX. As new modes become
available, all you need are replacement EPROMs. Satellite and all the modems
that made the PK-232MBX a legend are included, plus the K9NG and G3RUH
compatible 9600 bps modems. For specific modems included, see below.
Full MailDrop You get the latest version
of MailDrop with selective control of third party traffic and bulletin board
system (BBS) compatibility so messages can be automatically forwarded.
True Gateway & Dual Ports The
DSP-2232 has the ability to create a gateway from packet-to-AMTOR, packet to
PACTOR, and of course, packet-to-packet. Since you have dual simultaneous radio
ports, the DSP-2232 allows cross-mode gateway operation. Packet users connecting
to Port 2 have the ability to monitor and link to other AMTOR, PACTOR, or even
packet stations using your HF radio on Port 1. The dual ports also offer
simultaneous HF and VHF monitoring, or running two VHF packet radios at the same
time. You can also listen to your local DX node while working AMTOR on an HF
frequency.
LCD Readout The unique LCD read-out on
the DSP-2232 displays the mode and diagnostics for both radio ports, giving you
information on connect and system status. On packet, the LCD displays the call
sign of stations heard. On RTTY, AMTOR, and PACTOR, text received on the air is
displayed. This is true for both radio ports of the DSP-2232
TDM Capability As with all AEA
multi-mode data controllers, these DSPs will decode Time Division Multiplex
(TDM) signals. TDM is a mode resembling FEC AMTOR used in commercial
applications. TDM uses one sub-carrier, but assigns separate data channels to
different time slots.
A Satellite Workhorse The satellite
modems included make the DSP-2232 the premier satellite data controller on the
market. The automatic Doppler correction keeps the signals coming in clear.
Up/down Doppler shift for PSK modems and outputs for up/down frequency stepping
to control the radio's frequency included. The onboard 9600 bps modem lets you
bounce packets off satellites and communicate with terrestrial stations at a
blazing rate. With the optional AEA WeFax 256, receive real-time, true grayscale
images from either NOAA HF WeFax Service or the NOAA APT Satellite Service. Take
a look at the Satellite modems available to you and you will see how AEA has
engineered the DSP-2232 and DSP-1232 to be the best tool for working the
satellites.
