[Premium-Rx] RF-7110/7120A/7241A

[eugene at hertzmail.com]

Hi there Chuck et.al., 

 

Thanks very much for the information.  I am hoping it can help me
remotely control my 590H and 1310. I know the 7405 was the normal
controller for that, but if I can set rx/tx freq and mode it would be
useful.  That would allow me to go in another room away from the
RF-110A's fan! And its just another neat harris piece to add to the
collection from that VFD era.

 

I don't really have much use for ALE, but I got a "deal I couldn't
refuse," so I thought I ought to pick it up just for kicks.

 

Thanks again for the links. I'll have some good reading to do now
Eugene

Eugene,
You have a very nice Harris RF-7210A Mil Spec ALE (Automatic Link
Establishment)  controller with the latest software upgrade.  It was
designed to work with a RF-1310A exciter and RF-590A premium RX.  I
understand that this controller cost the Fed. about $15,000 to $20,000.
It started life as a RF-7110 controller which is an obsolete early form
of ALE called  AUTOLINK which is Harris only.  It was them upgraded to a
RF-7210A Mil Spec AUTOLINK II called MIL-STD-188-141B.  Go to the
following sites for additional info.

http://tsc-60.cellmail.com/tsc-60/harris/index.html
(This site has manuals for the RF-7210 controller - very close to what
you have)

Also visit the following site for a ham based PC driven view of ALE for
emergency operations.

Bottom line - "you did good".  It is probably the best of the best
external standalone ALE controllers.

Hope this helps,
Chuck

Hello there. I just acquired an interesting unit. 

On the front, it says RF-7120A

On the rear it says RF-7110

On the rear it also says "this unit has been modified using the RF-7241A
upgrade kit. See the RF-7210A manual for details" 

I should mention that I did see the 7210A manual and didn't see
reference to this upgrade kit.

Here are some photos of what I got:

Does anyone know what the heck I've got!?

My thought is that it started life as a 7110 but this upgrade kit turned
it into a 7210A, but I'd love to hear what you guys think.

Thanks very much

Eugene
