“BASIC-S” Single Channel Duplex Controller

The Basic-s is a blending of the Linker IIs and the original “Basic” controllers from ICS with refreshed audio paths and simplified radio interfacing options, including moving to the standardized DB-9 pinout.

The processor chip is the same as the Linker IIa/Linker IIs so configurations will remain familiar to existing Linker IIa users

• Uses the ICS operating system
• Values entered in volts, seconds, WPM (Even Fractional Values)
• Uses More, Good, Bad, indications when programming in values and parameters
• All programmable data stored in on-board EEPROM
• 40 functions available DTMF Control System DTMF for programming and control 20 DTMF programmable code / Function memories
• Each DTMF code can be programmed to be from 1 to 5 digits
