Aerial-51's new ALT-512

An improved version of the SKY-SDR transceiver.

The ALT-512 is a very High-Performance Ham-Band transceiver, purpose built for hams demanding the highest receiver performance on crowded ham bands.  Dedicated Bandpass Bilters (BPF) for the ham bands assures rejection of strong out-of-band shortwave broadcast stations, or other near-by strong stations trasmitting on other ham bands!

New features and changes include:

• 4m Band

• 2.4 in. Color Display

• Improved receiver pre-amplifier

• 2 transistors in the transmitter PA (was 1)
  • Output Power up to 10 W. (band-dependant and voltage-dependant)

• Waterfall in addition to the Pan-Adapter Bandscope

• 4 additional front-panel buttons

• User friendly front-panel adjustment of often used parameters        (formerly embedded within the software menu)

• CW Decoder

• Contest-Mode for SSB (enables sending canned voice message from the logging software.

• TUNE mode, for adjusting external ATU

• 2-Tone generator for measuring SSB IMD

• FULL TS-2000 command set implementation (enables seamless integration to software applications).

• Built-in Sound Card;  Digi Modes run using only one USB-2 cable connected to the PC.  No additional hardware or driver required.

*AVAILABILITY:  First Units will ship on or about 15-MAY-2019
