DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
The KY 96A and KY 97A VHF Comm Transceivers consist electrically of five sections:
receiver, transmitter, synthesizer, display circuitry, and the microprocessor board.
The transceivers are identical except that the KY 96A operates at 28 Vdc and the
KY 97A operates at 14 Vdc.
The KY 96A, KY 97A is currently available with 25 kHz receiver selectivity, 100 mW
into 500 ohms or 8 W into 4 ohms audio outputs (4 W into 4 ohms in the KY 97A), and
operating ranges of 118.000 to 136.975 MHz. See
tions of specific versions.
NOTE:
Previous versions were available with 50 kHz receiver selectivity; however,
it is not a current configuration.
The KY 96A, KY 97A has the capability of programming up to nine memory channel
frequencies for later recall. Channel frequency information is stored in non-volatile
memory so that when the radio is turned off and then back on, channel information is
retained. Both units also have the capability of remote transfer of Use and Standby
frequencies, and remote recall of channel frequency information.
