- 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
