Wulfsberg Electronics P-2000 and C-2000/RT-2000 Operator’s ManualDocument 150-041102 Revision A Page 3 of 37IntroductionThe Wulfsberg "2000" family of Flexcomm products are comprised of the P-2000 panel mount transceiver and theRT-2000 remote mount transceiver which is controlled by the C-2000 control head. The P-2000 and RT-2000 arecapable of being populated with one or two ITM's (Internal Transceiver Modules) covering any combination of thefollowing frequency bands: VHF 136-174 MHz, UHF -1 (403-470 MHz), UHF -2 (450-520 MHz) and UHF800(806-870 MHz). For applications where multiple points of user operation are required, one or more C-2000's can beadded.For purposes of this manual the term "P-2000" shall be used to describe a P-2000 or C-2000/RT-2000 installation.The features and user interface are identical in both systems.FeaturesThe P-2000 provides a host of powerful features, including:• Multi-band operations: One or Two ITM's covering any combination of the following frequency bands:• 136 - 174 MHz (10/1 Watt Transmit Power)• 403 - 470 MHz (10/1 Watt Transmit Power)• 450 - 520 MHz (10/1 Watt Transmit Power)• 806 - 870 MHz (3/1 Watt Transmit Power)• Clear and bright Color LCD display showing Active/Standby channel selection along with other criticaloperational information.• 255 Preset channel memory in each internal transceiver module.• The powerful yet incredibly simple user interface that allows the user to select channels using the firm tactilefeedback keypad or rotary knobs.• Modulation types available in the P-2000 include FM analog, P25 Digital conventional, P25 Trunking andMotorola 3600 Baud Trunking. Transceivers are capable of operating on 12.5 kHz, 20.0 kHz, and 25.0 kHzchannels depending on options.• Multiple types of encryption are available as options (AES, DES, DES-XL, DES-OFB, DVP and DVI). Inaddition, MDC1200 OTAR and P25 OTAR are standard in all models that include encryption capability.• One or Two microphone/headset interfaces are supported. This provides retrofit applications the ability to useboth transceivers even if only one microphone/headset port is available on the aircraft audio panel system. Iftwo microphone/headset ports are used, the P-2000 is capable of independent operation of each ITM. In otherwords, one user can be operating on FM1 while the other user independently uses FM2.• Advanced multi-radio modes, such as Relay, Simulcast and Relay-Simulcast.• Programming port on the front of the panel allows for computer loading of channel information and encryptionkey loading.• Wulfsberg's exclusive QMEM (Quick Memory) function allows for fast access to preset memory channels.
Wulfsberg Electronics P-2000 and C-2000/RT-2000 Operator’s ManualDocument 150-041102 Revision A Page 4 of 37Transceiver OverviewThe Wulfsberg 2000 family of radio products is a group of FM Tactical transceivers that incorporate one or twotransceiver modules and control functions into a single panel mount unit (P-2000) or a panel mount control head(C-2000) and remote mount RT-2000 Transceiver. Part number variations of the unit exist for any combination ofthe following frequency bands: 138-174 MHz, 403-470 MHz, 450-520 MHz, and 806-870 MHz. Each transceivermodule, with the exception of the 806-870 MHz band, can transmit with either 1 or 10 watts transmit power. The800 MHz unit produces either 1 or 3 watts transmit power. The P-2000 can operate by itself or in conjunction withthe C-2000 control display acting as a remote slave control. Input voltage is 28 volts DC and the keypad is backlitfrom either 28VDC, 5 VDC or 5 VRMS AC.The Wulfsberg C-2000 is a control display unit that can be used as a slave control head with a P-2000 panel mounttransceiver, or as either a primary or slave control head for the RT- 2000 remote transceiver. Versions of theC-2000 include black faceplate and options for either Standard or NVG compatible displays. Input voltage is 28volts DC and the keypad is backlit from either 28 VDC, 5 VDC or 5 VRMS.The Wulfsberg RT-2000 is a remote mounted transceiver that incorporates one or two transceiver modules in aremote mounted unit. It must be controlled by at least one C-2000 control head. Additional C-2000's can be addedto the system for multi-positional control of the transceiver.The P-2000 or C-2000/RT-2000 systems operate identically with the exception of the PC/Keyloading interface. Fora P-2000 the interface is located on the front of the P-2000. In a C-2000/RT-2000 system, the connector on theRT-2000 is used for PC/Keyloading functions. The connector on the C-2000 is not currently used.For the purposes of this operator’s manual the use of the phrase “P-2000” will be used to coverboth P-2000 and C-2000/RT-2000 systems.NOTE:

Wulfsberg Electronics P-2000 and C-2000/RT-2000 Operator’s ManualDocument 150-041102 Revision A Page 7 of 37The Home PageThe HOME PAGE is the primary operational page of the P-2000. The HOME PAGE becomes visible when theP-2000 is ready for user input, immediately after the power up and initialization sequences have completed. Whenviewing the HOME PAGE, Radio 1 (Also called FM1 or Transceiver #1) is always displayed on the top section.Radio 2 is always displayed on the bottom section. All keypad-initiated operations are performed on the activeradio. The active radio easily distinguished by the bright blue color. The cursor is the square box that is locatedeither around the channel number or around the channel alpha identifier. It can be quickly toggled between thechannel number and alpha identifier using the Select Knob.The following illustration is an example of what the HOME PAGE looks like.The home page is divided into 3 areas – FM 1 information (top), FM 2 information (middle), and an area for systemstatus or system prompts (bottom). Notice in the picture above that the area in blue contains the information for FM1. FM 1 will always be on the top. The names “FM1”, “FM2” can be changed in the system setup so that users canchange it to something more meaningful to their use such as “VHF” or “MAIN”.ACT/SBY - The normal operating mode of the P-2000 is very similar to most ATC COMM radios. The user tunesthe Standby channel and then “flip-flops” it into the Active channel position using the TRANSFER button. Theradio is loaded with Active channel. The standby channel is ONLY used as a scratchpad for selecting the nextchannel.As an alternative to using the ACTIVE/STANDBY mode, the operator can press and hold the transfer button for 3seconds and the STANDBY channel will disappear and now the user can tune the active channel directly. Eithermode can be selected in the System Setup Mode as the default mode of operation.Notice the square box (CURSOR) around the SBY channel number 104. This indicates the system will tune theStandby channel number. The cursor can be moved around the Alpha Identifier and channels will be selectedalphabetically.STATUS LINE - The status line is located on the very bottom of the display and it is where the user will beprompted to either input more information via the keypad. It is also used to display the Message Indictor used toshow there is a system message to view. In this case the user should put the MSG button to show the Message page.ACTIVE ChannelSTANDBY ChannelSystem Status InformationFM 1 Discreet IndicatorsChannel Alpha IdentifierCURSORFM 1 InformationFM 2 Information

Wulfsberg Electronics P-2000 and C-2000/RT-2000 Operator’s ManualDocument 150-041102 Revision A Page 23 of 37Repeater ModeRepeater mode is not a specific mode of the P-2000 but an airborne repeater can effectively created bypreprogramming specific channels and then using the RELAY MODE. It is also necessary for the two transceivers,FM1 and FM2 to use the same band. In other words, you cannot perform a repeater function with a P-2000 that hasFM1 operating in the 136-174 MHz band and FM2 operating in the 800 MHz band.Say a P-2000 channel normally uses a repeater that is not working and an area is without communications on thatchannel. To act like an airborne repeater the operator must program a special preset channel with the receive andtransmit frequencies reversed. We suggest giving this channel a special ALPHA ID that helps the operatorrecognize it as a special repeater channel associated with the original channel. To operate as an airborne repeaterperform the following steps:• While on the HOME PAGE set the ACTIVE channel to the channel you normally use the repeater on FM 1.• Put FM1 in DIRECT MODE by pressing the DIR button.• Select the special channel associated with the repeater on FM2.• Go into the RELAY MODE.• If the operator wants to talk select FM2.You can always get back to the HOME PAGE by pressing the HOMEbutton one or more times.

Wulfsberg Electronics P-2000 and C-2000/RT-2000 Operator’s ManualDocument 150-041102 Revision A Page 37 of 37Steps to Successful Setup and OperationWhile we would like to pull products out of the box and immediately start to use them, this system is one that takesjust little work to get to that point. First READ THE OPERATORS MANUAL!!! This will familiarize you withthe buttons and display pages of the system. The following checklist will help installers setup the P-2000 orC-2000/RT-2000.1. Note all part numbers of components in your system..P-2000 Part Number = _______________________________________C-2000 Part Number = _______________________________________RT-2000 Part Number = _______________________________________Please write down the frequency bands of the transceivers inside the P-2000/RT-2000.FM #1 = ___________________FM #2 = ___________________2. Using the SYSTEM Programming page 2, select whether the unit will be operated in Mode 1(only onemic/headset port) or Mode 2 (two independent mic/headset ports). Review the other options and configure asdesired. Return to the HOME page.3. Put the P-2000/RT-2000 in CPS mode for FM #1.4. Connect a PC to the programming port of the P-2000/RT-2000 and run the Motorola CPS software.5. Using the CPS software, read the codeplug of FM #1. Save this first in case you need to return to factorysettings.6. Program personalities and Zones/Channels. It is very important to use good channel identifiers so operators canefficiently determine the purpose of the channel. Whenever possible, use the same channel name the groundunits use so that when calling out channel changes both the aircraft and the ground units can use the samechannel names. These steps require significant knowledge of the Motorola software. We encourage enlistingthe help of someone familiar with Motorola CPS software to successfully program the internal transceivers.7. Save the modified codeplug on the hard drive and then download it into FM1.8. Do the above for FM #2 if applicable.9. Upon the exit from CPS mode, the P-2000/RT-2000 will automatically go into “LEARN” mode. At this timethe unit is interrogating the internal transceiver modules for information about channels that were programmedduring CPS operations. Wait until the display indicates successful completion of this process.10. Validate that all channels programmed during CPS are now functional on both FM #1 and FM #2 transceivers.
