Alinco, a manufacturer that continues to shock the wireless industry with its originality, is pushing its own path in the world of digital simple wireless registration stations (dejikan). The digital card system was established in 2008, but Alinco entered the market in 2011, as development was delayed. Alinco is unique here as well. Alinco’s original communication standard, which is different from the common standard, was adopted.
Alinco’s digital card is a unique communication standard
While the advantage of digital cards was that they might communicate with other manufacturers’ products, Alinco released the “DJ-DP10” and “DJ-DP50H”, which adopted a unique communication standard that differed from the common standard. .
Alinco’s proprietary standard uses the RALCWI method for the codec, and although it cannot communicate with the AMBE method common to other companies, the sound quality is similar to analog FM mode, so it became a hot topic among frillers.
Although there are few stations that operate the RALCWI system, at mobile operation events, operation announcements are made on SNS, etc., and AMBE system calling channels say, “From now on, we will issue CQs using the Alinco method on 20 channels.” doing.
Alinco digitally for frillers
The RALCWI method can only talk between terminals of this standard. However, Alinco also released the compatible “DJ-DPS50” at the same time. These digital cards are first-generation machines with a bold, business-like look.
As the number of companies and organizations introducing digital cards increased, each manufacturer shifted to smaller, second-generation machines. While developing miniaturized products, Alinco has been sending out products for frillers like us.
That is the “DJ-DPS70” released in 2017. In anticipation of the original commercial use, it is equipped with a bar-type S-meter similar to amateur radio equipment and a frequency display function. When implementing these as standard functions, I really felt that Alinco listens to the voices of users. (Sentence / Digi☆KAN Taro)
