1.4  Features 

  VHF communication transceiver with 6W output power in 57 mm 

format 

  Frequency range 118,000 to 136,975 MHz 

  Automatic selection of 8,33/25 kHz channel spacing 

  4 microphone inputs (2 x standard, 2 x dynamic) 

  Voice controlled intercom for up to 4 microphones, can be 

deactivated for use with external intercom 

  Dual-watch technology, simultaneous monitoring of two 

frequencies 

  Auxiliary audio input 

  Memory for up to 100 user-definable named frequencies 

  User-defined frequency list exportable/importable to/from PC (via 

RS232) - PC software available at www.funkeavionics.de 

  Easy recall of the 10 last used frequencies 

  OLED display for best readability under all conditions 

  Configurable energy saving 

 

To avoid unintentional permanent transmission, the 
transmitter automatically stops transmission after two
