This is the homepage of Silvertone Electronics in Sydney, Australia. Here you will find one of the most interesting and unique R/C sites in Australia, dedicated to bringing you the customer the best possible quality and service. Silvertone Electronics specialise in unique custom-built, non-computer radio control equipment for model aircraft, boats, cars, commercial and military applications. Units available range from 4 - 24 channels (AM or FM), on frequencies between 25 - 55MHz and transmitter output powers up to 6W, (for licensed operators), the Mark 22 R/C system is truly unique in the International R/C marketplace.

Silvertone UAV specialises in UAV aircraft and Navigation systems. Follow the Silvertone UAV link below for the complete Flamingo story.

Silvertone also invented and markets the Silvertone Keyboard System of Frequency Control. The Silvertone Keyboard system of frequency control is the Australian national standard frequency control system for all officially sanctioned R/C aircraft events in Australia. It is to our knowledge, the only variable bandwidth frequency control system available on the international market. It is also one of the few frequency control systems designed specifically to cope with intermodulation effects on frequency allocations that span over 455kHz in width. There are four versions of this very successful frequency control system available. In the old Imperial standard (0.1" = 1kHz), the Issue 1, 29/40MHz board; the Issue 6, 35MHz (UK) board; the two board Issue 4, 36MHz board. Finally there is the new half size Metric standard (1.27mm = 1kHz), single board, Issue 5, 36MHz model. An added advantage of this system is the frequency interlock capability which helps to prevent accidental frequency clashes caused by transmitters left on in the pits or TX pound.

The accessory section gives details of speed controllers, pulse generators, P.O.D. in-line fail-safe modules, an F3B module and an in-line mixer for receivers.

Bob Young, proprietor of Silvertone Electronics, contributes a monthly column to Silicon Chip magazine, a nationally distributed electronics magazine and a listing of almost ten years of contributions on a wide range of topics related to radio control are included on this site.

A new section has been added giving details of the latest addition to the popular Mark 22 range of transmitters, the Mark 22-C. This transmitter is designed specifically for advanced R/C projects. It features a BNC, 50 ohm coax antenna connector which makes possible the use of the internal telescopic antenna or a remote fibreglass, helical wound whip antenna. The Mark 22-C TX is also fitted with a 2.5mm DC battery connector configured to provide a quick change from internal to external power. Thus the Mark 22-C is ideal for advanced R/C projects such as van operated UAVs, robots or R/C record attempts.

Finally the long awaited first draft of the updated UAV section has been mounted ready for viewing. This unique and helpful section presents an in-depth look at how these mini marvels of modern technology actually work. Fully illustrated with block diagrams and a copious quantity of photographs there is something here for both the tryo and expert UAV enthusiast This section will be expanded regularly as new items become available. Silvertone has now been appointed Australian agent for the exciting new AUAV range of autonomous flight control components and systems. More on this story shortly.

We trust you will find something of interest at our site.
