Description
The compact “clamshell” design mounts the
battery
on the rear, for optimum simplicity and portability. A
multi-function knob with concentric volume control
allows setting most functions, minimizing the need
for complex key sequences. The front half of the
case high-impact polycarbonate plastic, while the
transceiver chassis/heat sink is die-cast alloy. A
choice of 4 rechargeable Ni-Cd packs or a dry cell
battery case are available. Rubber gaskets protect
against dust and rain or spray. The LCD (display) has
selectable lighting modes, and shows all significant
frequency digits and most programmable functions,
plus relative signal strength and power output.
Two independent VFOs and up to 100 freely tunable
memories are programmable from the knob and key-
pad. The duplex mode allows split VFO operation,
and dual-watch monitors a sub-channel VFO or
memory while operating from the main channel.
USA versions include extended reception in the VHF,
UHF, FM broadcast, and 800 MHz bands (cellular
blocked). A separate squelch and bandwidth setting
is available to enhance FM broadcast reception.
Memory features include independent tx/rx frequen-
cies or programmable offsets, up to five pairs of
subband limits for band scanning, selectable scan
skip for busy channels, scan resume on carrier drop
or after 5-second pause, and independent instant-re-
call HOME channel for VHF and UHF. Memories also
