The frequencies were set in 100 Hz steps, up to 128 frequencies were pre-programmable. Modes were SSB as well as A1 and A2H. The antenna tuning was roughly preprogrammed, the fine tuning was done with just one controller. A 2-tone alarm was installed, the international distress and call frequency 2182 kHz could be switched directly. The power supply was provided by the 110/220 V electrical system, but the system could also be operated from a 24 V battery. Manufacturer of this radio was Skanti, which sold the system as TRP 5000.
