Transceivers Recommended for Use With PCALE
Member Store

PCALE will function with almost any amateur or commercial HF radio. For rapid channel scanning, PCALE uses the computer-to-radio CAT interface to control the transceiver frequency and mode. 

Some transceivers are better suited to ALE service than others, for various reasons.


The following transceivers have internal circuitry that is optimum for fast Quiet Relay Scanning and Sounding with PCALE:

ICOM
IC746, IC746PRO, IC7400, IC756PRO (Milspec 1030E-DSP), IC756PRO2, IC756PRO3, IC765, IC775, IC781, IC7800 (except mixer relays), PA relays handled by use of SPLIT VFO, all support up to 2 ch/sec scan rate, newer models at 9600 baud up to the 5 ch/sec and those that can do 19,200 baud at 10 ch/sec scan rate
KENWOOD
All Kenwood models after, but excluding the TS-440, PA relays handled by use of SPLIT VFO, all support up to 2 ch/sec scan rate, newer models at 9600 baud up to 5 ch/sec and those at 19,200 baud at 10 ch/sec scan rate
YAESU
FT-920, FT-990 with SPLIT VFO (FT-890 with special QS/S modification) all can do up to 2 ch/sec scan rate.
HARRIS
Harris RF-350 family: RF-350, RF-350K, RT-1446 URC, AN/URC-119, AN/URC-121(V) PA relays handled by BYPASS command, supports up to 2
ch/sec scan rate.

Note: PCALE can also function with radios that do not have CAT control, but have channel memory. Select Hardware Pulse from the radio type menu. Connect the RS-232 port TXD line via a transistor interface to the radio's "Up Channel" mic button line.
