*1 Figure not approximate
*2 RF output power in DC-IN mode: Factory preset is 5W but for safety reasons, when the receiver is using an external power source in the high-power 430MHz range mode, it will automatically switch to 0.5W (approx.) if temperature in the main unit increases. The time for automatic switchover will vary according to ambient temperature; however, it should normally take approximately two to five minutes in continuous operation. For continuous operation, it is highly recommended that LOW power (approx. 2W) be used.

Except for sensitivity, specifications are guaranteed for Amateur bands only.
