To the Service Technician:
The ASTRO-I02BX is a modern, top-of-the-line, sophisticated
Amateur Band Transceiver utilizing state-of-the-art techniques
and design. The features that today's Hams want are built into
the unit, not marketed as "add on" accessories at extra cost
dual PTO's, Passband Tuning, Full or Semi Break-in, VOX,
ew
Sidetone, RIT, Notch Filter, and more.
Whenever performance measured up to required standards, inte-
grated circuit technology was used in the design; where special
functions were required, or desired performance could not other-
wise be obtained, carefully designeddiscrete component circuits
were included, rather than accept compromised performance.
Every care has been taken to providelong, trouble-free life,
but the requirements of extra operating features, high perform-
ance design, and compact packaging demanded by today's Hams
results .in a unit necessitating a high degree of skill on the
part of you, the Service Technician.
Tc
assist you, this manual
has been painstakingly prepared. Take the time to thumb through
it; read and study the Theory of Operation section and the
Servicing Hints section; it will
he
time weIl spent, even for the
most highly qualified and experienced personnel.
It is you, the Service Technican, that will ultimately determine
how weIl or how poorly the radio will work, and therefore how
satisfied or dissatisfied our customers will be, in the long run.
If you have a suggestion or a problem, write or call our service
department. We'll listen, and help you all we can.
Sincerely,
CUBIC CO ICATIONS, INC.
