Smaller than many conventional automobile broadcast band recei-
vers, the sophisticated 1С-28Н transceiver provides 45W of powerful
output on any frequency in the 2 meter band and contains an
internal speaker as well.
Front panel layout is extremely simple in spite of the great number
of functions available. The total. number of controls on the front
panel is significantly fewer than other models currently available
while, at the same time, new features have been added resulting in a
mobile unit that is safe and easy to use while driving without sacri-
ficing performance. 5 |
The LCD front panel readout features a particularly wide viewing
angle designed to enable the driver to easily see the display, even in
bright daylight, without changing position.
Variations in ambient light conditions pose no problems when using
the 1С-28Н since the built-in light sensor automatically adjusts a
dimmer circuit to control the backlighting of the display to suit the
time of day or night that you are operating. This feature is
particularly convenient for night operation to reduce eye fatigue
caused by overly bright displays.
The 1C-28H introduces a large capacity memory with 21 fully
programmable memory channels. These memory channels place a
variety of communications functions at the fingertips of the driver.
eFREQUENCY SCAN:
The entire band is searched continuously with frequency incre-
ments specified by the operator.
eMEMORY SCAN:
All memory channels are continuously checked.
With 38 different subaudible tones standard on the 1С-28Н (U.S.A.
version), maximum communications coverage is assured by allowing
full access to all your local repeaters.
Two new optional units specially designed for the IC-28H are ideal
for handling the crowded band conditions found on 2 meters in
many locations. Either the UT-28 or the UT-29 may be installed.
eUT-28 DIGITAL CODE SQUELCH UNIT:
Incorporating a system of digital coding and decoding, the UT-28
option allows a "personalized" squelch to be programmed using 1
of 100,000 different code numbers.
eUT-29 TONE SOUELCH UNIT:
The UT-29 is a subaudible tone encoder/decoder which may be
installed as an alternative to the UT-28 Digital Code Squelch Unit.
