KDK FM-2016A - General Features

1. GENERAL FEATURES
YOUR KDK FM-2016A, (OR E), IS A TWO METER FM TRANSCEIVER USING THE MOST UP TO
DATE CMOS IC DIGITAL PLL CIRCUITRY FOR MOBILE AND BASE STATION USE. IT HAS
BEEN COMPACTLY DESIGNED WITH EMPHASTS ON MAINTENANCE OF HIGH QUALITY AND YET
BEING EASY TO USE AND INCLUDES THE MANY FEATURES DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING.
(A) FREQUENCY COVERAGE AND CHANNELS
144.000 - 148.995MHz, transmit and receive {(FM-2016A)
144.000 - 148.995MHz, receive, 144.000 - 145.995MHz transmit (FM-2016E)
Above in 10KHz steps plus 5KHz up capability for a total of 1,000 channels.
(FM-2016E - 400 channels, transmit)
(B) DIGITAL FREQUENCY DISPLAY
Direct readout of operating frequencies using large size LED displays. Full solid
state.
(C) AIRPLANE TYPE CO-AXIAL FREQUENCY CONTROLS
Operating frequencies selected by 10KHz, 100KHz, 1MHz and 5UP switches. Most
frequently used 100KHzand 10KHz switches mounted coaxially on one shaft. These
switches will not go below 0 or above 9 positions to facilitate frequency chang-
ing by feel only. Permits “eyes-on-the-road" at all times for mobile operation
safety and is also useful for hams with impaired sight.
(D) ELECTRONIC MEMORY
An electronic memory using CMOS RAMs (Random access memory ICs) is provided any
4 out of the 1,000 channel capacity may be written in (stored) the memory at any
time. A back up WICAD battery provided to retain memory contents while trans-
ceiver disconnected from any power source. Current drain only 25nA and inter-
nal automatic charging circuit keeps battery fully charged at all times.
(E) TRANSMITTER OFFSET FOR REPEATOR USE
+.6 and -.6MHz positions of the mode switch provide the normal + and - 600KHz
shift in the transmitter frequency. Positions 1T-2R and 3T-4R are provided for
utilizing the 4 channels of electronic memory to provide 2 pairs of non-standard
shifts. In these positions the operating frequency is switched between memory
chanels 1-2 and 3-4 automatically so that in position 1T-2R the set transmits on
the frequency set up in memory channel 1 and receives on the frequency set up in
memory channel 2 and likewise in the 3T-4R position. This feature provides for
operating on non-standard shifts, and is also convenient when using the FM-2016
in conjunction with an up-converter, etc., for operation on 430MHz and other bands.
(F) SCANNING
A scanning system has been included to increase the utility of the transceiver.
The four memory channels are scanned in one of two possible modes as selected
by the SCAN switch. In scanning for a closed channel, the scanner will stop at
the first channel in use encountered, and in the openscanning mode, it will stop
at the first channel encountered which is not in use. A scan-hold feature is
provided to permit immediate transmission after locating a channel by scanning.
