hand-matched transistors used throughout; two sepa-
rate independent linear power supplies with toroidal
transformers isolate analog and digital circuitry pre-
venting crosstalk or interference.

stream type and adjusts mode.
LCD
window shows
decoding and signal information and error messages;
LED
indicators show button selections. Clean uncluttered
control layout.
