Description
The SCU-17 Interface Unit can be used for CAT control of the transceiver with a computer via a USB connection, and for communications using SSTV, RTTY, and PSK digital modes.
The SCU-17 provides CAT communication through the USB terminal when a PC does not have an RS-232C connection.
The SCU-17 is equipped with a USB audio system device, so the TX and RX audio system signals are accessible to the SCU-17 via the USB cable. Therefore, the supplied USB cable is the only connection needed between the SCU-17 and the PC.
The SCU-17 is equipped with a two-channel USB serial device and allows for different transmission modes and CAT communication simultaneously.
The SCU-17 operates via USB bus power; no external power supply is needed.
For RF isolation, the SCU-17 features photo-MOS relays for the PTT/FSK terminals. AF transformers are used in the AUDIO IN/OUT lines to provide excellent ground isolation.
The SCU-17 is equipped with TX and RX audio controls on the front panel, for convenient level adjustment.
LED indicators on the front panel of the SCU-17 monitor the PTT and FSK commands. Operating conditions can be quickly confirmed.
