T7F

The T7F is one in a series of fast 70cm data transmitters which have hit the market end of the 1990s. I decided to purchase it on Ebay when I understood that using my TS-790A as a packet radio station is like shooting birds with cannonballs.

Actually, I have two of them:

• I bought my first T7F somewhen end of 2007. I gave it away because I could not get it running fine. It didn't have the optional control interface in front and was nothing but the transceiver board. Due to missing measurement equipment in combination of a lack of time, I had to state that I was not able to get it running. There are downsides of hobbys, and the lack of resources may kill one or another project from time to time. So I gave it away to some friends who might be more lucky to get it running.
• Almost a year later, end of 2008, I bought another T7F, this time with the LCD display in front. I'm not yet 100% clear what I will do with it, but since I have two other data transceivers, I will probably do some more experiments with 9k6 data links. The only thing that's still missing is another 9k6 modem.
