RECEIVER*
Sensitivity (MDS),
500-Hz bandwidth
-136 dBm (typ.), preamp on. Note: Sensitivity rolls off significantly below 3.0 MHz
due to protective high-pass filtering. Preamp-on MDS is typically -105 dBm at 1.5
MHz, and -80 dBm at 1.0 MHz, sufficient for emergency AM broadcast signal copy.
Image and I.F. Rejection
55-70 dB typ. From 3 to 32 MHz (varies with filter settings, mode, and band). Image
rejection from 0.5 to 3.0 MHz is not specified.
Audio Output
Internal speaker, 0.3 W typ.; headphones/ext. speaker jack, 0.1 W/channel (stereo)
Receive Features
8 band RX EQ, tunable I.F. passband width/shift, audio peaking filter (APF), noise
reduction, noise blanker, automatic notch filter
