This is the US made SunAir military HF SSB transceiver model RT-9000. This particular one has the ALE option and the high-stability OCXO option installed. SunAir main customer is the US Cost Guard, and that is also where this radio has seen service as a base station (not on a ship). The RT-9000 is one of the most professional HF transceivers I have ever operated, like only the Americans can make them. See the video for the details. Excellent job from SunAir, a well known and long-time established manufacturer of military and professional radio equipment located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Salient detail: I bought my first SunAir radio in 1975, in a surplus store long gone since - the T-10-R. I still own it! See here: www.sunairelect...

This is my dream radio. I only use Motorola gear for 2 Meters and 440 and I would love a Micom for HF but the Sunair seems much better suited for band scanning. Hopefully I can sell one of my kidneys someday so I can buy one as nice as this! All kidding aside, I love overbuilt gear. I fell in love with Sunair gear when I saw my first GSB900 at Fair Radio Sales back in the early 90s. Thanks so much for posting this! 73, Wes/W9YYH

Used to repair these in the Coast Guard. Went through school in 1980. That date's it for you.

LCL/RMT is local remote. There’s probably an additional head available to allow operation from a remote area on board a ship. The other button is the lighting for the display. Very nice video and thanks!

I am very surprised for a costly radio that is fails to incorporate an active digital noise blanker that less costly radios have.

It is a power radio with freq hopping, it can add a data card to transfer pictures, even data stream with Windows Notebook . in the 1997 Taiwan strait crisis, it is only a useful communication tool for ROC.

I can only imagine what price these go for. It's equipped with a crystal oven oscillator, I can't imagine a scenario in SSB/AM transmission where you would need a more accurate reference frequency. It can also be used as an illegal AM transmitter.

Would this have Spread Spectrum communications electronics which makes the unit jump up and down and you are unable to follow it.

@whitesmotoadv 7 жыл бұрын

DAVID GREGORY KERR they do have spread spectrum as an option as well as encryption, ALE and a Boat load of other special features. I have one at home with Sunair's 1k amp and long wire tuner.

so if you transmit digital hf ssb would it be 3khz or 12.5khz?

@LifeIsTooShortForQRP 3 жыл бұрын

Depends on the speed, but radio modems designed for HF SSB should limit the used bandwidth to 3 kHz. As an example, the SCS PTC modems do not exceed used-bandwidth beyond 2.7 kHz, even for their latest Pactor-IV mode. www.scs-ptc.com/de/Home.html

Very nice radio I've never seen a Sunair radio before but it looks very professional for a military radio and I wonder how many watts does it push out? if you could please tell me then that would be great I'm just wondering that's all. Thanks and best 73's cheers. Stephen M3SNV 73's.

THE VIDEO IS 5 YEARS OLD SO THIS SET MIGHT BE 10 YEARS OLD. SUN AIR PRODUCTS ARE VERY HIGH QUALITY. THE SIZE AND WEIGHT ARE ON HIGH SIDE. THE PERFORMANCE IS OF COURSE UP TO THE THEN LATEST STATE OF ART. ONE POINT AS A FOOT NOTE, YOU COULD SHOW INSIDE BY TAKING OFF UPPER COVER AS IT WAS EASY TO DECLIP. WHAT IS THE SLOT OF TIME IT WAS MADE AND WHAT IS THE WEIGHT OF THE SET. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT CRYSTAL REFERENCE. IS IT SYNCHRONIZED WITH WORLD FREQUENCY STANDARD REFERENCE THAT IS 5, 10 OR 15 MHZ. DOES IT HAS AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNNER. THANKS AND REGARDS AP2KD

RT-9000E is SDR, quite amazing. I I am sure the U.S. Government pays $100,000+ for them each.

hi bro..what type of dummy load your use in this rt 9000?

@VicGreenBitcoin 4 жыл бұрын

Did I see wrong or can this beast transmit even in the FM band!?

@LifeIsTooShortForQRP 4 жыл бұрын

You mean the FM broadcast band? That band covers 87 MHz to 108 MHz. This SunAir radio covers 1.6 MHz to 30 MHz, so to answer your question: No, it does not cover the FM broadcast band. Cheers.

since its military im guessing its going to transmit out of band??

@LifeIsTooShortForQRP 7 жыл бұрын

That really depends on the user. If the user would put in 14.200MHz (20m HAM band as an example), he is legal. If he would put in 27.385MHz (CB band), he violated the law as a misdemeanor. If he would put in 27.515 MHz (freeband) and starts to transmit with an antenna attached instead of a dummy load, he is committing a crime.
