TW7000 SERIES HF TRANSCEIVER section 4 Note: If the RAT1000C is being used with an older version of radio, then the radio must have 701BC firmware or higher (radio) and 312C firmware or higher (ALE Card). If the radio doesn’t have these revisions of firmware, then the P/N 701-312-UPD kit must be ordered for the radio. Note: Since the TW7000 is a +12Vdc model radio, the RAT1000P-110 (RAT1000P-220) must be used in a 500W or 1000W system with the tuner to provide the +28Vdc for the tuner.
