Noise
• When reception frequencies fall in any one of the formula below, the unit may receive a
non-modulated signal.
This is due to the structure of frequencies of this unit and not a malfunction.
(Reception frequency on the left side VHF band – 21.7MHz) X 3 = UHF reception frequency
on the right side)
(Reception frequency on the left side UHF band – 21.7MHz) X 3 – (VHF reception frequency
on the right side + 30.85MHz) X 7 = 30.85 MHz
• When reception frequency is 3 times bigger than transmission frequency, transmitted voice
will be heard and [FREQ X3] appears on the display.
