Receiver By Raytheon

Information and specifications are now available on a new auto- matic facsimile receiver by Ray- theon Marine Company.

The RAYFAX 300 receiver fea- tures a four-band, crystal-con- trolled, single-sideband radio with push-button station selectors which can be set for any eight of the more than 50 facsimile sta- tions worldwide. The RAYFAX 300 will receive high-definition weather charts, wave height charts, sea ice conditions, hurri- cane tracks, storm warnings, sat- ellite cloud pictures, surface tem- perature, and other facsimile data transmissions. All are reproduced on dry, odorless, 12-inch-wide aluminized recording paper.

According to Raytheon, special features of the RAYFAX 300 in- clude controls for fine-tuning the antenna for peak reception and for precise positioning of the re- cording on the chart paper. The chart recorder portion is available separately, for use with any suit- able wide-band receiver, or with the eight-channel receiver.

The compact, 29-pound recorder is designed for table-top mount- ing. The 8-pound receiver may be secured on top of the recorder or mounted in a remote location.

Connection to the 24V d-c power source and an HF long-wire or whip antenna completes the sim- ple installation. Provision is made for a second receiver if desired.
