Galaxy (DX 2517) - AM/FM/USB/LSB/CW/PA, Black
Description:
The new DX 2517 Base Radio replaces the DX 11B.
However, it is not simply an upgraded DX 11B. The DX 2517
does not have the familiar main PC board used in the DX
11B and all of our mobile radios. This is the first model
using the next generation main board.
ADVANTAGES OF THE NEW BOARD:
- Increased frequency stability for improved sideband
operation
- Increased sensitivity on both AM and SSB
- Conventional parts (instead of surface mount parts)
are still used for ease of service
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS MADE:
-
NOISE FILTER CIRCUIT - A unique Noise Filter
circuit increases signal-to-noise ratio on weak
signals. This circuit is in addition to the Noise
Blanker and Automatic Noise Limiter circuits.
-
TALK BACK CIRCUIT - Talk Back volume can be set
to any level or turned off altogether.
-
DISPLAY - Digits for both channel and frequency
displays have been moved forward for improved viewing
angle.
-
METERING - A modulation scale (for use on AM
only) has been added to the signal meter. Markings have
been added to the signal, power output and SWR scales
to make them easier to use. Also, positioning of the
two meters has been reversed for ease of use -- the
SWR/POWER meter is now on the left, and the
SIGNAL/MODULATION meter is on the right, closer to the
frequency display.
-
RX/TX INDICATOR - The LED above the power switch
is green during receive and red during transmit.
