SL7000SERIES HAND HELD 3. THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION SL7000 is 256 channel portable FM transceiver constructed with a microprocessor controlled, temperature compensated Phase Locked Loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer. The radio features a double conversion receiver and a direct FM transmitter modulator. A special integrated circuit provides support to sub-audible signaling (CTCSS & DCS) and most of the receiving parts are switched off periodically in the power saver mode to reduce battery current drain during standby.
