Hull Electronics Debuts SSB

Radio

Hull Electronics intro- duced the 1000SSB, a 1,000-watt HF SSB ra- dio which the manufac- turer reports is the high- est-powered, farthest reaching SSB radio in the marine industry, ideal for cargo vessels, commercial fishing vessels and yachts.

The unit has a 4.5 to 27.5 MHz range covered at the 1,000 watt level, and as per FCC regulations, the 1.6 to 4.5 MHz frequencies are automatically covered at a 150-watt level.

Hull's fault-monitoring features are de- signed to ensure proper function, and a power amp balance helps avoid transis- tor overload.

Two-way HF weatherfax and SITOR communications are possible through the unit's internal and external modems.

Reduce Vapor Emissions with Elliott

Vapor Tight

Valve Operators

Elliott vapor tight operators eliminate vapor leakage through existing reach rod packing glands.

Barge and tanker operators coping with vapor recovery regulation #46CFR Part 39 should know Elliott Manufacturing has an installed base of noncorrosive, nonmagnetic vapor tight valve control products throughout North America.

Over 500 Elliott vapor tight systems have been installed on 17 oceangoing and inland tank barges operated by one major

U.S. barge operator alone. The company to talk to about vapor recovery is Elliott.

Elliott systems offer you a cost- effective solution to vapor control.

By specifying Elliott, you will: • Reduce emissions now with QC- tested, vapor tight, sealed systems • Save money—these operators can be replaced without gas-freeing • Save time with quick installation and easy changeovers • Eliminate reach rod corrosion at packing glands • Simplify maintenance

While most systems are custom- engineered, stock operators may be available for immediate delivery.
