The receiver is synthesized with what Clegg calls a Crytalplexer. The transmitter is crystal controlled.
The FM-27 is a solid-state mobile transceiver using what Clegg called a Crystiplexer tuner. To monitor any specific frequency the operator sets the two receiver controls to numbers corresponding to the desired frequency. To monitor 146.94, for example, the operator sets the first control to 9, and the second to 4.
Receiver selectivity is rated at 70-dB adjacent-channel attenuation. Sensitivity is rated at better than 0.35 uV for 20-dB quieting.
The transmitter portion of the new transceiver is 10-channel solid-state unit with 20-25 watts rf output. The entire transceiver weighs less than three pounds and is packaged in a rugged anti-theft case with a special locking-clamp mounting.
