THICK-FILM INTEGRATED CIRCUITRY USED THROUGHOUT

An industry first is the generous use of inte­
grated circuits in the receiver, transmitter To add strength to the case

cuitry. A complete circuit module can be
changed in seconds — assuming it ever
needs replacing. The basic unit uses twelve
separate, easily-removable integrated cir­
cuit modules replacing more than 200 dis­
crete components. With options, up to
seventeen integrated circuits replace over
300 discrete components.

This pace setting personal unit receiver is
the first radio to use single conversion. This
greatly reduces spurious responses and
eliminates the generation of “tweet” fre­
quencies because there is no second local
oscillator. By using crystal IF filters and a
crystal discriminator, the kind of selectivity
is achieved which is significantly important
in metropolitan (or crowded radio) areas.

The handsome design and extreme rugged­
ness of this personal radio is achieved by
packaging the unit in a high-impact, mar-
resistant Lexan® housing. The texture of the
surface assures a firm grip on the unit even
if your hands are wet.
