1.2 RT1200 and RT1400
The Simrad fixed VHF range consists of two models - the RT1200 and RT1400. Both are available
with either a fistmike or telephone handset, and offer the same features including channel scan,
channel memory, dual watch etc. The details in this owner’s manual apply to both models.
The RT1400 model features an additional watchkeeping receiver, allowing it to use the Digital
Selective Calling (DSC) system for routine and distress calling on VHF channel 70. For this the
RT1400 will need to be linked to the Simrad DSC control unit
DSC1400
(DSC Class D). DSC com-
patibility is not available with the RT1200 model
.
This manual describes all operating features available to the RT1200 and RT1400 models, includ-
ing channel scan, which is not permitted in certain countries. Therefore this feature may not be
available on the set supplied if it was purchased or configured for one of these countries.
