Timewave DSP-599zx Noise & QRM Filter

• Hyper-speed DSP Processor 36.8 MIPS WITH 80 KB Ram

• Field upgradeable design keeps you up to date

• LCD display for Visible Memory^TM and Calibrated Filters^TM

• Wideband filter for AM and FM (VHF & UHF)

• Continuous filter tuning up to 5 kHz using optical encoders

• Voice Lowpass, Highpass, from 100-5.0 kHz wide

• CW and Data 10 Hz - 600 Hz wide

• Audio Test Instrument Generator, Millivoltmeter, & Tone Decoder

• Manual notch Heterodyne Eliminator

    Featuring a bright LCD display, new high-speed CPU and DSP processor, pushbutton function selection, and continuous fine-tuning optical encoders, the DSP-599zx offers unparalleled performance as well as field upgradability for future features.

    For voice and music, a continuously-adjustable optical encoder can be tuned up to 5000 Hz. Lo/Hi pass voice filters from 200-5000 Hz or CW/data filters from 10-600 Hz may be selected as well. Filter skirts are razor-sharp without ringing.

    The Data filters support RTTY, AMTOR, PACTOR, G-TOR, HF Packet, SSTV, WEFAX, SITOR, and Clover. For transceiver use, the RTTY Remodulator mode detects and regenerates the mark and space tones going to your Multi-Mode Controller (KAM, PK-232, MFJ-1278, Etc.), giving it the benefits of a DSP front-end. The RTTY Modem mode provides a complete RTTY Terminal Unit when used in conjunction with a PC and appropriate software.

     Additional functions include a manual notch tone eliminator, two-tone audio sine-wave generator (20 Hz-10 kHz), true rms (peak, dBV, and dBm) millivoltmeter (20 Hz-10 kHz, 1 mV sensitivity), and CTCSS (“PL”) tone encoder/decoder with squelch-switched output to activate a tape recorder or other auxiliary device.

Required Accessories for use:

12-16 Volt dc power supply capable of providing a minimum of 1 ampere. Most commercial power supplies produce 13.8Vdc and are rated as 12 Vdc.

Two-conductor cable to connect between power supply and DSP-599zx.

Cables to connect DSP-599zx with your unit speaker output, PTT output, external speaker and multimode controller.
All cables will need a RCA type connector on the end that attaches to the DSP-599zx. The other connector will vary with the equipment on the other end. Consult your owners manual.

External speaker and/or headphones. You will need at least on of these devices to connect to the DSP-599zx to hear the audio signal. The DSP-599zx will accept either stereo or mono headphones with a 1/4" plug.

In some data modes you will need a cable from the 8-pin DIN connector to your unit. You may also need a 9-pin serial cable to connect to your computer.
