More Plain Talk about sophisticated communications.

If you have a new ship on the ways, or an old one that's costing you a bundle every trip for radioroom re- pairs and message costs, check out this ENS 600 Radio Station/STB 750

Telex package.

You'll have a lot working for you. 1500 watts of clean antenna power that lets you contact anyone, any- time, anywhere in the world. Auto- tuning that lets you make the contact much faster. Unattended round-the- clock telex monitoring and copying.

With automatic error detection and correction. In dialogue mode, broadcast, phone, CW, you name it.

Which means you'll be able to get your message through, anytime, from anywhere, to anywhere.

Accurately. Immediately. Plus: '0 ft f $ •**•" o

Philips STB 750 Telex Full CCIR compliance.

Real savings. Telex has the lowest cost-per-word of any marine elec- tronics communications system, and the ENS 600/STB 750 package makes that cost a lot lower. Much lower than what you now pay for Morse tele- graphy. So low that even with moderate ship/shore traffic your telex could easily pay for itself within the first year. And then start paying off for you. More. Your master will receive, say, your diversion message just about as soon as you send it. So there's no time wasted, or fuel burned, going in the wrong direction for hours. And the world- wide range means you can use your local coastal stations, so land rates —both ways—will be a lot less.

ENS 600 synthesized frequency control saves you even more, be- cause there's no expensive new equipment to buy the next time some international conference decides to allocate new frequencies.

Real privacy. Your business is nobody else's business. So we've designed a real privacy option.

When you send a private directly addressed message to one of your ships, nobody else — not even the other ships in your fleet —will be able to receive that message, if that's how you want it. You can even have a Philips PACT 200 teleprinter in the master's quarters for situations

Teleprinter where top secrecy is desired. With your choice of paper tape or elec- tronic memory.

Real flexibility. ENS 600 offers you your choice of synthesized SSB, high power, high performance transmit- ters. With a remote control option that lets you operate your transmitter and telex directly from the bridge.

Or locate them anywhere up to 100 meters from the console, for privacy and convenience. A broad selection of other options lets you equip your ship with the features you want, without having to pay for features you don't need.

Real reliability. ENS 600 has triple redundancy back-up circuitry that takes over if your oscillator fails, so you won't lose any sleep about losing your signal. And STB 750 unattended round-the-clock monitoring means you'll always get your message right. Right away.

The package is state-of-the art, designed and manufactured by two world leaders in sophisticated marine electronics. So we're not just talking specs, but real reliability, proven day in and day out, on thousands of ships at sea. And at 30 major coastal stations which have chosen Philips STB telex for their operations.

Real convenience. Neat uncluttered console layout, eye-level instrumen- tation, and conveniently located controls make it a pleasure to work your ENS 600. The STB 750 panel mounts in the console. The PACT 200 teleprinter can be located anywhere

ENS Radio Station:

Fully Flexible you choose. And you don't have to be an engineer to operate the telex.

Real plain talk. The ENS 600/STB 750 package is not inexpensive. But it will do a lot more — and cost a lot less — than any comparable system.

And it's backed up by two exten- sive world-wide service networks.
