General Notes

Note

QST, Dec 1976, p. 2. QST, May 1977, p. 2. to 1978 IC-245SSB Variable offset: Any offset from 10 KHz through 4 MHz in multiples of 10 KHz can be programed with the LSI Synthesizer. Remote programing: The IC-245/SSB LSI chip provides for the input of programing digits from a remote key pad which can be combined with Touch Tone* circuitry to provide simultaneous remote program and tone. Computer control from a PIA interface is also possible. FM stability on SSB and CW: The IC-245/8SB synthesis of 100 Hz steps make mobile SSB as stable as FM. IC-245E date unknown
