DX-70TH Alinco HF-50MHz Transceiver



Alinco have achieved a design that has been well received. The DX-70TH HF transceiver is packed with versatile features. Detachable front panel, operational modes SSB, CW, AM and FM, wide range general coverage receiver It’s well engineered and has extremely good transmit audio. Whilst primarily aimed at the mobile market it can also offer a compact alternative to the more traditional base station design. It does not have all the features of some of its competitors but then again this is reflected in the price.

HF bands + 50MHz operation - Covers 160 to 6m amateur bands at 100W output. Separate antenna terminals for HF and 6m.

Wide range general coverage receiver - The general coverage receiver covers 150kHz to 30MHz and 50 to 4MHz, SSB, CW, AM & FM.

AE-485S Albrecht Mobile 10m Transceiver


The Wireless Telegraphy (Citizen’s Band and Amateur Apparatus) (Various Provisions) (Amendment) Order 2000 (SI2000/1013) came into force on 1 May 2000. This replaced the original order designed to place restrictions on 27MHz CB equipment, and also effectively restricting commercial manufacture and importation of Amateur Radio equipment for the 28 to 29.7MHz (10m) band. This now allows the sale of single band 28MHz (10m) equipment, either manufactured in the UK or imported from the United States or Japan.

* 28-29.7MHz * 25W FM * 25W SSB PEP * 6W AM * c/w Mic, bracket & power lead

VX-5R Yaesu 6m/2m/70cm FM 5W Handy



Tiny but incredibly rugged, the VX-5R provides transceiver capability on three amateur bands (50/144/430MHz) and almost continuous reception from 500kHz up to 999MHz. Despite its small size it can deliver up to 5W on all three bands using an external supply or 5W on 6/2m and 4.5W using a Lithium-Ion battery. The Lithium-Ion battery supplies 7.2V at an incredible 1100mAh. Depending on the power levels used operating times of 6 to 12 hours are now possible. The supplied AC adaptor provides charging of the standard FNB-58LI in five hours or less. The VX-5R has many facilities including Smart SearchTM for automatic loading of memories as well as dual watch for monitoring a main channel and a secondary frequency. Spectra-ScopeTM for monitoring adjacent channels and the Automatic Range Transponder System (ARTSTM) which provides audible confirmation of “in-range” and “out-of-range” status with other ARTSTM equipped stations. CTCSS and DCS encoders/decoders are built-in as well as a menu-driven 1750Hz tone burst system.

IC-756PRO Icom HF Transceiver 100W All-mode


1.8 - 54MHz 100W SSB CW FM AM RTTY 12V Supply

The IC-756PRO places a whole range of new features within reach of the serious HF operator and DX enthusiast. It is a true HF+6m DSP transceiver with 32-bit, floating point, IF DSP. This refined level of processing improves noise reduction and provides auto-notch functions.

The 5in. TFT colour LCD used for the first time in a HF transceiver, improves a wider viewing angle and increased level of information, without cluttering the display area. Dual frequency display, memory frequency and memory name, IF filter bandwidth, RTTY tuning indicator and received characters, real-time spectrum scope and voice memory and CW memory keyer contents can all be displayed. The real-time spectrum scope has its own area and there are four selectable sweep ranges to choose from.

The dual watch facility enables reception of two signals on the same frequency band simultaneously - monitor a DX station while operating on another frequency.

There is a built-in RTTY demodulator and decoder circuit. Two peak frequencies can be selected by setting the shift width for RTTY operation. Received data is shown on the LCD.

In addition the IC-756PRO has several other built-in components including an automatic ATU (with 50MHz coverage), an electronic keyer and a memory keyer function. It also offers a triple band stacking register, manual notch (with 90dB of attenuation), variable rejection-level noise reduction and a microphone equaliser function, providing 121 different AF characteristics.

With such advanced features and superb quality Digital Signal Processing, this model will clearly be the new benchmark for HF transceivers.
