Introduction
The Wulfsberg "2000" family of Flexcomm products are comprised of the P-2000 panel mount transceiver and the
RT-2000 remote mount transceiver which is controlled by the C-2000 control head. The P-2000 and RT-2000 are
capable of being populated with one or two ITM's (Internal Transceiver Modules) covering any combination of the
following 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 be
added.
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.
Features
The 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 critical
operational 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 tactile
feedback keypad or rotary knobs.
•
Modulation types available in the P-2000 include FM analog, P25 Digital conventional, P25 Trunking and
Motorola 3600 Baud Trunking. Transceivers are capable of operating on 12.5 kHz, 20.0 kHz, and 25.0 kHz
channels depending on options.
•
Multiple types of encryption are available as options (AES, DES, DES-XL, DES-OFB, DVP and DVI). In
addition, 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 use
both transceivers even if only one microphone/headset port is available on the aircraft audio panel system. If
two microphone/headset ports are used, the P-2000 is capable of independent operation of each ITM. In other
words, 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 encryption
key loading.
•
Wulfsberg's exclusive QMEM (Quick Memory) function allows for fast access to preset memory channels.

Transceiver Overview
The Wulfsberg 2000 family of radio products is a group of FM Tactical transceivers that incorporate one or two
transceiver 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 of
the following frequency bands: 138-174 MHz, 403-470 MHz, 450-520 MHz, and 806-870 MHz. Each transceiver
module, with the exception of the 806-870 MHz band, can transmit with either 1 or 10 watts transmit power. The
800 MHz unit produces either 1 or 3 watts transmit power. The P-2000 can operate by itself or in conjunction with
the C-2000 control display acting as a remote slave control. Input voltage is 28 volts DC and the keypad is backlit
from 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 mount
transceiver, or as either a primary or slave control head for the RT- 2000 remote transceiver. Versions of the
C-2000 include black faceplate and options for either Standard or NVG compatible displays. Input voltage is 28
volts 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 a
remote mounted unit. It must be controlled by at least one C-2000 control head. Additional C-2000's can be added
to 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. For
a P-2000 the interface is located on the front of the P-2000. In a C-2000/RT-2000 system, the connector on the
RT-2000 is used for PC/Keyloading functions. The connector on the C-2000 is not currently used.
NOTE:
For the purposes of this operator’s manual the use of the phrase “P-2000” will be used to cover
both P-2000 and C-2000/RT-2000 systems.

The Home Page
The HOME PAGE is the primary operational page of the P-2000. The HOME PAGE becomes visible when the
P-2000 is ready for user input, immediately after the power up and initialization sequences have completed. When
viewing 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 active
radio. The active radio easily distinguished by the bright blue color. The cursor is the square box that is located
either around the channel number or around the channel alpha identifier. It can be quickly toggled between the
channel number and alpha identifier using the Select Knob.
The following illustration is an example of what the HOME PAGE looks like.
CURSOR
FM 1 Discreet Indicators
FM 1 Information
ACTIVE Channel
STANDBY Channel
FM 2 Information
Channel Alpha Identifier
System Status Information
The home page is divided into 3 areas – FM 1 information (top), FM 2 information (middle), and an area for system
status or system prompts (bottom). Notice in the picture above that the area in blue contains the information for FM
1. FM 1 will always be on the top. The names “FM1”, “FM2” can be changed in the system setup so that users can
change 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 tunes
the Standby channel and then “flip-flops” it into the Active channel position using the TRANSFER button. The
radio is loaded with Active channel. The standby channel is ONLY used as a scratchpad for selecting the next
channel.
As an alternative to using the ACTIVE/STANDBY mode, the operator can press and hold the transfer button for 3
seconds and the STANDBY channel will disappear and now the user can tune the active channel directly. Either
mode 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 the
Standby channel number. The cursor can be moved around the Alpha Identifier and channels will be selected
alphabetically.
STATUS LINE - The status line is located on the very bottom of the display and it is where the user will be
prompted to either input more information via the keypad. It is also used to display the Message Indictor used to
show there is a system message to view. In this case the user should put the MSG button to show the Message page.

Selecting the Active Transceiver
To make FM1 or FM2 the “active transceiver” means that the keypad/rotary knobs will perform operations on that
transceiver. The active transceiver is always highlighted in a bright blue color. As shown in the picture below, FM1
is the active transceiver.
FM #1 Select
To make FM1 the active transceiver: Push the FM #1 SELECT BUTTON (shown above). Pushing the FM #2
SELECT BUTTON will make FM2 the active transceiver and the blue highlight will be moved to the FM2 area of
the display (shown below).
FM #2 Select
When the P-2000 operating in MODE 1 (only one headset shared between two transceivers), the active transceiver is
the one that will be used for transmitting. In MODE 1, the transceivers (FM1 and FM2) will have their receive
audio summed together and sent to the headset. The operator must choose which transceiver will be used when they
want to transmit.

Selecting a Standby Channel Using the Cursor/Tune Knob
When the P-2000 first powers on, the selected channels will be set to those that were active when the unit was
powered down. To select a different preset channel, do the following:
Using the Select Knob, put the square cursor around the channel number. Turn the Tune Knob until the channel is
your desired channel. If you wish to make this your active channel, push the transfer button.
Selecting a Channel Using the Keypad
Occasionally, it is desirable to select a preset channel by entering its number via the keypad, rather than dialing it in
with the Select/Tune knobs. This can be performed as follows.
When the user presses the CHAN key, the keypad channel entry mode will begin. This mode allows the user to tune
a channel by inputting the desired channel’s number into a field via the keypad. The figure below depicts this mode
of channel tuning. If no keypad input is received for more than 4 seconds, the operation will automatically cancel.
Pressing the HOME key operation will also cancel the operation. When the user presses the ENTER key, the
channel with the number input into the field will be loaded. If the input channel number is invalid, an error tone will
sound, and the previous “good” channel will be reinstated.

Selecting a Channel by Alphanumeric Identifier
To change the standby channel using the Alpha Identifier, use the Select Knob to move the cursor square around the
alpha identifier as shown below. Turn the Tune Knob until the channel is your desired channel. Notice that
channels change alphabetically.
Using the Direct/Repeat Feature
The P-2000 supports both direct and repeat modes of operation. Any preset channel that has identical transmit and
receive frequencies is considered a direct channel. If the transmit and receive frequencies are different, the P-2000
considers the channel a repeater channel. Repeater channels can be temporarily changed into direct channels by
pressing the DIR button. This will temporarily copy the receive frequency into the transmit frequency. The direct
mode indicator will light. The following illustration shows radio 1 in direct mode.

transmit indicator will light, and the channel’s transmit frequency will be displayed. The following illustration
depicts FM #1 transmitting.
Receiving
The P-2000 is constantly monitoring its radios for reception. When a signal is received, the P-2000 will light the
receive indicator for the receiving radio, and route the audio to the operator’s headset (assuming the associated
intercom switch is selected). The following illustration depicts FM #2 receiving.
TX Indicator
RX Indicator
Enabling/Disabling Transceivers
Transceivers cannot be individually powered off on the P-2000, however the volume level of either transceiver can
be reduced to zero, effectively turning off the transceiver. The screen below shows what the display looks like when
the audio level of a transceiver is set to zero. Notice the mute indicator is displayed and the level indicator turns red.

Changing Transmit Power
The P-2000 supports the selection of high and low transmit power. Normally high power is used, however, if
interference or other transmit issues are experienced, low power may be selected to help remedy the issue. If you
have a radio that supports multiple power levels, such as the RT-5000, you can alter the power setting from the
EDIT PAGE as follows:
•
Move the cursor under the transmit power field, as depicted below.
•
Rotate the TUNE knob clockwise once. The power indicator will toggle between high and low with each turn

Repeater Mode
Repeater mode is not a specific mode of the P-2000 but an airborne repeater can effectively created by
preprogramming 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 has
FM1 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 that
channel. To act like an airborne repeater the operator must program a special preset channel with the receive and
transmit frequencies reversed. We suggest giving this channel a special ALPHA ID that helps the operator
recognize it as a special repeater channel associated with the original channel. To operate as an airborne repeater
perform 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 HOME
button one or more times.

Steps to Successful Setup and Operation
While we would like to pull products out of the box and immediately start to use them, this system is one that takes
just little work to get to that point. First READ THE OPERATORS MANUAL!!! This will familiarize you with
the buttons and display pages of the system. The following checklist will help installers setup the P-2000 or
C-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 one
mic/headset port) or Mode 2 (two independent mic/headset ports). Review the other options and configure as
desired. 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 factory
settings.
6.
Program personalities and Zones/Channels. It is very important to use good channel identifiers so operators can
efficiently determine the purpose of the channel. Whenever possible, use the same channel name the ground
units use so that when calling out channel changes both the aircraft and the ground units can use the same
channel names. These steps require significant knowledge of the Motorola software. We encourage enlisting
the 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 time
the unit is interrogating the internal transceiver modules for information about channels that were programmed
during 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.
