Rohde & Schwarz EK070 Receiver
The PLL synthesized VLF - HF all wave receiver Rohde & Schwarz EK070 has been introduced in 1979. It's digital frequency readout has an accuracy of 10 Hz. The R&S EK070 has been one of the earliest shortwave receivers with direct keypad frequency entry, thirty electronic memories and the possibility of beeing remote controlled by a computer or a secondary controller BG 170.
Here the description [930 KB]
how to connect the Rohde & Schwarz EK070 with the built in V.24 serial board to the PC in order to control the EK070 with OmniRig and Pegasus from N4PY. Carl did a software upgrade to control the EK070 with his software Pegasus version v4.42D.
