*2
and P25
*3
modes on the main receiver, while the sub-receiver covers 50–1300MHz in AM, FM and WFM modes
*4
.
*1
Two antennas are required for dualwatch receive.
*2
Optional UT-118 required.
*3
Optional UT-122 required.
*4
Frequency range differs depending on version.
Diversity receive capability
The diversity receive
*
mode is useful for mobile operation where the received signal changes continuously. It compares the signal strength and chooses the antenna with the better signal to maintain good sound and receive quality.
* Two antennas are required. Available in FM/D-STAR/P25 mode between 50– 1300MHz only. Diversity reception is not available while using dualwatch.
Wide LCD display for independent band control
The wide LCD display shows both main/sub receiver settings in an easy-to-read symmetric side-by-side layout. The controller provides separate tuning, volume, squelch knobs and function buttons for the left (Main) and right (Sub) receivers. The LCD backlit color is selectable between
amber
and
green
for your preference.
Digital mode reception
The optional UT-118 D-STAR digital unit and UT-122 P25 digital unit provide the latest digital mode reception. Catch the action in digital communications!
