The unique 'S' meter (patent pending) provides ac-
curate reading without causing "'scale-out' even when
unusually strong FM signal comes in. By manipulating
the center meter switch, this meter functions as a
center meter for pin-point tuning of FM stations.
VOX operation is also available. The transceiver has
provision for connection of VOX-3 obtained from
KENWOOD as optional accessory.
The ON AIR lamp lights up when the transceiver shifts
into transmitting state.
The built-in RIT circuit is very useful during reception,
particularly in SSB and CW modes. It is designed to be
used for both VFO and fixed channel operations.
Besides the built-in oval speaker (9cm by 6cm), an ex-
ternal speaker can be used by connecting it to the
speaker terminal provided on the transceiver.
The transceiver operates on AC 120/220V or on DC
13.8V. It includes DC voltage multiplier of our own
development, contributing much to the space-saving
design of the model.
Significant improvements are embodied in the panel
design for making this transceiver much easier to con-
trol and use. Dials and knobs are of more advanced
type in visual and functional senses. Meter illumination
and pilot lighting are included assuming nighttime use
of the transceiver.
Visual aspects are taken as an important criterion in the
designing of this transceiver. Mechanical features too
have been treated similary, with particular emphasis on
their reliability.

For assuring easier access to the internals, the
transceiver enclosure or case is in two parts, complete
with special mechanical details to allow the front con-
trol panel to be detached. The final unit is also arranged
so that it can be removed from the rear panel.
A carrying strap is provided for convenience of carrying
the transceiver.
A high quality microphone is included among the stan-
dard accessories.
