Detail Information: The new DX models have retained the operating features of its popular predecessors, including programmable repeater offset and capabilities for a CTCSS tone option — great for increasing repeater activity on 10 meters — and receiver scanning for quick search of active frequencies. The units offer three methods of frequency selection, non-volatile memory to store and scan up to ten favorite frequencies, and front panel frequency selector lockout.
In addition, the DX Series offers an impressive array of design and performance improvements:
* An improved receiver: designed for increased sensitivity and image rejections.
* A double FET balanced mixer: for improved receiver inter modulation rejection.
* New pwr supply protection: and temp compensation for improved stability and reliability over wide temperature ranges.
* Surface mount components: for increased resistance to shock and vibration.
* Improved display lighting: for easy reading in a wide range of light conditions.
* Variable power output
