Fixed Stations in the 1980/90s

F490 Series


1980

The F490 series 8th generation fixed station equipment was based on the Pye M290 mobile solid-state technology platform.

This was a compact, low-cost, mobile based wall-mounted equipment, suitable for use in remote control or extended local control applications.

A number of versions were available including VHF AM or FM, UHF FM and also a UHF point-to-point link variant.

Transmit output powers of up to 25-Watts were available.

F4000 Series

1983

The F4000 series of fixed stations were a re-design of the earlier F400 series to give increased performance, while retaining the compact mechanical construction of the original design.

This was a 9th generation equipment.

The receivers were improved by the use of the technology platform from the Pye M206 mobile, which had the highest performance receiver ever produced by Pye Telecom.

New frequency bands were also introduced, as the frequency spectrum available to Private Mobile Radio systems was widened.

F5000 Series

1989

The F5000 series of VHF, and UHF FM fixed stations were 10th generation modular, frequency synthesized equipment, built using a range of plug-in units.

Although the frequency synthesiser technology was similar to that utilised in the FM1000 mobile of the time, in essence, the F5000 was the result of all new design work.

Both PMR fixed station and radio link versions were available and the transmit output power available was up to 50-Watts.

It was a rack and panel construction although a dual version in a stand-alone cabinet was designed for certain government systems.

PRF10 Series


1990

The PRF10 series 10th generation fixed station equipment was based on the FM1000 mobile solid-state technology platform.

This was a compact, low-cost, mobile based wall-mounted equipment, suitable for use in remote control or extended local control applications.

A number of versions were available including VHF FM, UHF FM and also a UHF point-to-point link variant.

Transmit output powers of up to 30-Watts were available.
