Product Details
This versatile radio operates seamlessly on either AC or DC power, catering to various base station setups. On the front panel, an intuitive multipurpose meter showcases four scales: an S-meter indicating up to 60dB over S9, a modulation percentage scale for AM usage, a power scale calibrated for both AM and SSB, and an SWR meter.
Moreover, a high SWR alert indicator alerts users to potential antenna system issues. Designed with flip-down feet, the transceiver allows for easy front adjustment, enhancing accessibility. With white LED channel and frequency display lights, it not only ensures exceptional performance but also enhances aesthetic appeal in any environment.
Equipped with a six-digit frequency counter, the radio enables precise tuning, ensuring consistent and stable SSB frequency performance for clear and reliable transmission. Powered by the latest main PC board, the RCI-29 Base delivers increased stability and sensitivity with each use, ensuring optimal performance.
Additional features include an echo function and switched talk-back feature, empowering users to customize their communication experience and exert full control over their interactions.
