Advertised as a "computerized" transceiver, the System 3000A transceiver featured 10 front panel programmable memory channels, a band scanner that covered 144-147.995 MHz in 5kHz steps, and completely flexible repeater offsets. The receiver had a 5-pole front-end filter, and a 10-pole filter in the IF. Output from the transmitter was 25 watts. It was manufactured by Edgecom, Inc. in Torrance, California.
Features
– Ten front-panel-programmable channels for storage of frequency, transmitter offset, and tone encoder/decoder mode/frequency.
– Built-in scanner for automatic tuning in user-selected one or four MHz bands. Scan speed 2.5 sec/MHz, adjustable pause.
– Priority channel silent monitor so you can operate on one frequency while monitoring another.
– Two frequency tone encoder/decoder provides two selectable, fully adjustable, subaudible tones for transmit and/or tone-coded squelch.
– Any transmitter offset without additional crystals.
– Audio/visual alarm to let you know when the monitored priority channel is occupied for when tone-coded squelch is activated.
– Advanced PLL synthesizer covers 144.000 to 147.995 MHz with full push-button tuning.
