SECTION 1
1. SINGLE-CONVERSION SYSTEM USING PLL
CIRCUITRY
The single-conversion system, with a unique Phase Locked
Loop circuit, FET balanced mixers and MOS FET's, assures
excellent spurious and intermod characteristics.
2. BUILT-IN DIGITAL DISPLAY
The digital display affords easy reading of operating frequen-
cy to an accuracy of 100 Hz on any band and any mode.
3. BUILT-IN IF SHIFT CIRCUIT (Passband Tuning)
An IF SHIFT system is built into the transceiver to allow shif-
ting the IF passband, thereby eliminating adjacent channel
interference.
4.3.5 ~ 29.7 MHz BAND
The transceiver is designed to operate on LSB/USB/CW in
the 3.5 ~ 29.7 MHz bands. As supplied, the 10, 18, and
24.5 MHz bands are for reception only. The VFO covers +
50 KHz above and below each band for near-MARS fre-
quenies. (with the DFC-230, + 100 kHz.)
5. IMPROVED TWO SIGNAL CHARACTERISTICS
High performance circuit elements in the front end and
optimum signal level distribution result in improved inter-
modulation and blocking characteristics.
6. BUILT-IN RF ATTENUATOR
Built-in 20 dB attenuator protects the RF amplifier and
mixer from strong signals or a strong interfering adjacent
signal. This also prevents cross modulation and blocking.
7, BUILT-IN SPEECH PROCESSOR
Built-in speech processor provides audio compression and
varies the ALC time constant simultaneously, resulting in
minimal degradation of sound quality.
8. AUTOMATIC SSB MODE SWITCHING
The SSB mode is selected automatically according to the
band selected. When the band selected is 10 MHz or
higher, USB is selected. When it is below 10 MHz, LSB is
selected. Mode selection can be reversed by setting the
mode switch to the REV position.
9. COMPACT, LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN
The TS-130SE has many advanced features, yet it is com-
pact and lightweight, suitable for mobile and field operations
as well as fixed-station operation.
10. EASY OPERATION
All controls and switches are carefully arranged for ease of
Operation, ensuring convenience and versatility.

11. ALL SOLID-STATE DESIGN
The all solid-state, compact unit features a wide-band final
stage, eliminating the need for peaking controls.
