1.2 RT62 and RT64
Both the RT62 and RT64 are available with either a fistmike or
telephone handset, and offer the same features. The details in
this owner’s manual apply to both models.
The RT64 features a second watchkeeping receiver, allowing it
to use the Digital Selective Calling (DSC) system on VHF chan-
nel 70. For this the RT64 will need to be linked to the Simrad
Class D DSC control unit DSC1400.
NOTE The RT62 is only available for applications that do not require
DSC functions.
This manual describes all operating features available to the
RT62 and RT64, including channel scan which is not permitted
in certain countries. Therefore this feature may not be avail-
able on the set supplied if it was purchased or configured for
one of these countries.

operator.

1.1Introduction
The RT62 and RT64 fixed VHF radios are designed by Simrad
and manufactured at our modern factory facility in the UK.
The radio is designed to meet or exceed stringent International
Regulations including ETS300-162 and EN301-025.
The RT62 and RT64 are robustly constructed using a pressure
die cast aluminium case for effective heat dissipation, ensuring
maximum transmission performance even after many hours
constant use.
Please note that VHF regulations vary from country to country.
Simrad sets are approved specifically by the countries in which
they are sold and consequently there may be differences in the
programming of sets bought in different countries. If using
outside the country of purchase, it is vital to check that the set
conforms to local regulations before use.

ucts without notice.
