Harris SSB Radio

Has Noise Blanker —Literature Available

An optional accessory, now avail- able with the Harris RF-3200 HF-

SSB radio, removes unwanted inter- ference and provides clearer, static- free reception.

The noise blanker is designed to improve the received signal-to-noise ratio in environments which are prone to impulse-type interference.

It is especially useful on boats with gasoline engines, auxiliary genera- tors and motor-driven deck equip- ment, which often create high levels of static in HF receivers.

The Harris RF-3200 noise blank- er automatically self-adjusts for changes in received signal strength and is immune to false triggering by out-of-band signals. The noise blanker is controlled by a conven- ient front-panel switch. The option can be factory installed at the time of order, or the radio can be up- graded in the field by a Harris ser- vice dealer.

The RF-3200 is a 125-watt single sideband (SSB) radio introduced by

Harris late last year. It is readily expandable to accommodate other new features and options as they become available. Advanced tele- communications capabilities, such as Digital Selective Calling and

ARQ modem interface, can be added by simply inserting printed circuit boards into empty slots built into the transceiver.

The recent delivery in South Kor- ea of the 2,505-TEU CGM La Pe- rouse by Samsung Shipbuilding and

Heavy Industries marked an impor- tant stage in the evolution of French containership design. Operating systems on the 31,000-dwt vessel, which is the new mainstay of Com- pagnie Generale Maritime's (CGM) participation in the Europe/

Australasia trade, were conceived for a minimum level of manning, said to be unprecedented in a

French-owned ship of this type and size.

Automation aboard the La Pe- rouse includes an integrated control, alarm and monitoring system, a computerized Con-air control and monitoring system, and a micropro- cessor-based ship management sys- tem. Her bridge outfit and layout, including a fully integrated naviga- tion system from Japan Radio Com- pany, makes the CGM La Perouse among the most advanced ships of her type. The 20.5-knot, Panamax vessel is powered by a seven-cylin- der model of the largest bore two- stroke engine from Sulzer's RTA range. It is the first of three new- buildings for European partners in the Anzecs consortium. •< For literature on Aeroquip products, circle the appropriate number of the reader ser- vice card: Hose & Fittings—Circle 121; T-J
