background noise is just eliminated. Further clockwise rotation will increase the threshold level which a signal must overcome in order to be heard. Only strong signals will be heard at a maximum clockwise setting. 5. RF GAIN CONTROL: This control is used to reduce the gain of the RF (receive) amplifier under strong signal conditions.
REAR PANEL Figure 2-2 represents the location of the following connections: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device EXT.SP. PA.SP. does not cause harmful interference. +POWER− FCC ID : MEE−VX−129CN MODEL NO.
2.2 MICROPHONE The push-to-talk switch on the microphone controls the receiver and transmitter. Press the switch and the transmitter is activated, release switch to receive. When transmitting, hold the microphone two inches from your mouth and speak clearly in a normal voice. This transceiver comes complete with a low impedance dynamic microphone.
2.4 ALTERNATE MICROPHONES AND INSTALLATION For best results, the user should select a low impedance dynamic type microphone or a transistorized microphone. Transistorized type microphones have a low output impedance characteristic. The microphones must be provided with a four-lead cable. The audio conductor and its shielded lead comprise two of the leads.
CHAPTER 3 CIRCUIT TR-127GK/DX DESCRIPTION 3.0 INTRODUCTION This section explains the technical theory of operation for the TR-127GK or TR-127DX mobile CB radio. 3.1 PLL CIRCUIT The Phase Lock Loop (PLL) circuit is responsible for developing the receiver’s first local oscillator signal and the transmitter’s exciter signal.
