These all solid-state, double-conversion NBFM transceivers feature a 2-way 4-channel scan function alongside 23 manually switchable crystal-controlled channels. The 4-channel scanning feature scans both receive and transmit simultaneously. A transmit control crystal selected for simplex or repeater duplex switches with each electronically scanned position, allowing continuous, monitoring of favorite repeaters or stations. A manual toggle switch allows immediate break-in on any scanned channel.
Multi-11 covers 144–146 MHz or 146–148 MHz
Multi-U-11 covers 420–450 MHz (any 4 MHz segment)
Multi-7 covers 2 meters, but without scan fucntion
