Dual receiver operation. A high performance two-meter transceiver (142 -150 MHz 1 ), plus a wideband receiver,(136 - 174 MHz and 420 - 470 MHz.) Both receivers feature dual VFO's and operate independently with dual volume and squelch controls.

bullet

Both receivers feature high dynamic range front ends to eliminate annoying inter modulation distortion interference.

bullet

Ergonomic design allows for frequency tuning via tuning wheel, up/down buttons, or direct keypad entry. A front mounted speaker assures quality audio.

bullet

Extensive LED backlit LCD display allows easy, instant reference of all operating and setup parameters.

bullet

All operating parameters, including repeater offsets, are factory installed for ease of use and immediate operation of the TR270. The operator may customize settings as desired.

bullet

A single RS232 interface provides complete transceiver control and configuration via a personal computer, as well as TNC270 and DEMOD270 communications.

bullet

Switchable IF filters (15 / 40 kHz) on the wideband receiver.

bullet

Transceiver output power, high/medium/low, is easily selectable from the front panel.

bullet

DTMF encoding and dialer and/or CTCSS tone encoding & decoding for both 2 meter and wideband (decode) receivers.

bullet

Designed and pre configured for optimum 1200/9600 packet radio performance with the optional Drake TNC270. The TNC270 comes with Windows® and DOS software and can be factory installed.

bullet

Multimode AM/FM fax/data operation with the optional Drake DEMOD270. This plug-in card provides demodulation of transmissions including NOAA APT, GOES, and HF WEFAX (additional equipment may be required) and ACARS, RTTY, and other facsimile type signals. Extensive DOS operating software and manuals come standard with the DEMOD270 and allow for integration with a personal computer.
