  • Fully Frequency Programmable
    • Rotary Switches
    • Direct Frequency Readout
    • 30 to 535 kHz (Steps of 0.1 kHz)
    • Minimal effort to change frequency
    • Frequency easily identified w/o binary conversions
    • No cost to change frequencies now or in the future
  • Common Modules on TC-10B and TCF-10B
    • Power Supply
    • Transmitter
    • Receiver
    • RF Interface
    • 10 watt Power Amplifier
    • Voice Adaptor
