General Notes

Note

QST, Jan 1975, p. 167. QST, Aug 1975, p. 175. QST, Mar 1977, p. 124. The RVD-1005 offers operation at 60, 66, 75, and 100 wpm, manual line feed and letters shift controls, selectable letters-shift-on-space control and automatic carriage return/line feed on line feed (non over-print). New features include display format of 25 lines, 40 characters per line; automatic carriage return; and speed indicator. The automatic carriage return will line feed on space when space is received after the 34th character. Prevents splitting of short words (will not split words of six characters or less). The speed indicator times the incoming signal and causes an LED to light, showing the operator which speed switch to select. This is especially helpful when tuning unknown commercial stations.
