  • Page 2: General Description

    General Description This Model is a combination transmitter-receiver designed primarily for mobile use. It employs the very latest technology to provide 240channels of operation by me- ans of digital frequency synthesis with PLL (phase-locked-loop) circuitry. The use of PLL assures a precise on-frequency operation on every channel in bo- th transmit and receive mode.

  • Page 9 Front Cowl Mount Rear Deck Mount Roof Mount General rules for best mobile antenna performanc 1. Mount antenna on vehicle as high as possible. 2. The higher percentage of the antenna length mounted above rooftop, the better performance. 3.Centre antenna in middle of selected location (i.e., boot, gutter or roof ). 4.Install an antenna cable line away from noise sources (ignition system, gauges ,etc.).
  • Page 10 Channel Selection The transceiver is capable of operation on 240 channels which are divided into 6 groups of 40 channels - A,B,C,D,E and F. These groups are selected with the Band Selector switch as the following. Band switch Position Frequency Range 26.065 to 26.505 MHz 26.515 to 26.955 MHz 26.965 to 27.405 MHz...
