Government To Charge

Cruise Lines For

Sanitary Inspections

According to a recent report, be- ginning this month, charges from $1,075 to $4,300 will be levied by the

U.S. Government for each required sanitary inspection of a passenger cruise ship.

Several cruise lines objected to the fees, contending that the charges violate international under- standings and were unreasonably high. The lines even contended that the government lacked the authori- ty to impose such fees, which are based upon a ship's gross registered capacity.

The Public Health Service an- nounced that they will allow private companies to perform sanitation in- spections in place of the govern- ment. The PHS asked for offers from companies interested in pro- viding the inspection service. The

PHS planned to publish a synopsis of the proposed contract on which offers were to be based in the Com- merce Business Daily. f

New Harris HF-SSB Radio

Offers Operating Simplicity

The latest product from the Har- ris Long Range Radio Division is the

RF-3200, a new generation HF-SSB radio that incorporates many tech- nical innovations.

The outstanding difference be- tween the RF-3200 and other HF-

SSB radios is the operating simplic- ity of the Harris unit. A single con- venient knob tunes all frequencies and channels.

Pushbutton entries are kept to a minimum. It has nine different pro- grammable scan groups, with no practical limit on the number of channels in each group. All data is protected in non-volatile memory so it is not necessary to reprogram or re-enter data every time power is disconnected.

Another important technical ad- vance is the use of a single multi- plexed coaxial cable to the antenna coupler, which eliminates the re- quirement for the usual multi-con- ductor control cable. This coax sup- plies electrical power to the coupler and also provides two-way digital communication between the coupler and transceiver. This saves time and money in installation and, more im- portantly, improves performance in the field.

The RF-3200 operates in the 1.6 to 30 MHz range. It can also be tuned to receive down to 500 KHz for monitoring Navtex broadcasts.

Standard output is 125 watts. With the addition of an optional solid- state linear power amplifier, the unit can provide 1 kw power out- put.
