TR 6 SW

Transverter Switch Unit

DC ... 146 MHz

The switch unit TR 6 SW is the gateway between your transceiver and the Kuhne electronic transverters of the TR Tranverter series or the Microwave Transverter modules. Up to 6 Transverters can be used with one HF – transceiver. The switch unit controls the IF signals and the PTT signals of the HF - transceiver. All connected transverters can be selected manually or via the remote control feature. The remote control connector is on the rear panel of the case.
