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
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Hey, I have one of these TR-900, with a Sunair LPA-9600 Kilowatt Solid state linear power amp and the CU-9150 1KW antenna coupler. What are they worth? I have cables manuals, all are in just like-new condition.
@@LifeIsTooShortForQRP Yes, I would like to sell it. I'm in Minnesota. I obtained it with a business I purchased. The Transceiver, Amplifier and antenna coupler.
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.

God bless you.
I have one for sale
Used to repair these in the Coast Guard. Went through school in 1980. That date's it for you.

the nicest hf radio I have ever seen
Thanks!
LifeIsTooShortForQRP the Cadillac of hf lol
I am very surprised for a costly radio that is fails to incorporate an active digital noise blanker that less costly radios have.
Un Gran radio, esta precioso, bonito video
Muchas gracias
LOVE your videos! You consistently come up with the coolest, most interesting rigs.
Thanks

Great rig and review.
Thanks for sharing.
I was about to type "dial/screen light" but you got it first.

Wonderful Transceiver
Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
Soylent Green your name is very familiar did you ever get on Zello.

I keep seeing these but have no idea how to obtain one. Where do you look for one of these?
This is amazing!

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

RT-9000E is SDR, quite amazing. I I am sure the U.S. Government pays $100,000+ for them each.
Would this have Spread Spectrum communications electronics which makes the unit jump up and down and you are unable to follow it.

hi bro..what type of dummy load your use in this rt 9000?
Stabil
Fantastic!!
Did I see wrong or can this beast transmit even in the FM band!?
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.
Meroket Ke Bintang , see here: www.radiomanual.info/schemi/Surplus_Civil/Sunair_RT-9000B_serv_user.pdf
They would go for about $14,000.
will it do 27 mhz 11 meter ??
Yes, it will - but I can think of cheaper CB radios though
Same here but i think itd make a kickass base station cb with hifi microphone setup
Sorry, but nobody has the pinout for a D104 Lollypop.
is this 4sell

im looking for the antenna coupler if you have one
@@MrMras-me3es Sorry, sold the entire setup 3 years ago.
Hi, I also have RT 9000b, but I do not have such a handle on a wolfander. Is it an original pen or homemade pen?
I don't get it - What is a "wolfander" ? What pen?
Hello, this is a tuning pen. I meant her. I have another one. My version is 9000 B with ale.@@LifeIsTooShortForQRP
Lamborghini Countach at the expense of the taxpayer, marvelous ^^ 73/51
what's the website you found this HF rig at?
Fleabay :-)
since its military im guessing its going to transmit out of band??

RT-9000C
Is that radio for sell?
there all for sale online
