Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 System Diagram

The figure below shows the system diagram for the RC-1500-1T. Equipment are controlled
using FURUNO’s own radio interface system called MIF (see note below).

The type and number of the component differ from set to set.

Note:

MIF is a handshaking type signal exchange system developed by FURUNO for remote

control of our radio equipment. In the RC-1500-1T, for example, the DSC-60 can automatically
set the frequency on the FURUNO SSB Radiotelephone.
