This model features microprocessor control of not one but two amateur bands. The RCI-2970N2, rated at 200W PEP, is perfect for the recent band openings on 10 and 12 meters. Now you can upgrade your mobile Ham capabilities with a radio that is rich in features and reasonable in cost. This model retained the operating features of its popular predecessors, including programmable repeater offset and capabilities for a CTCSS tone option – for increasing repeater activity on 10 meters – and receiver scanning for quick search of active frequencies. The units offer three methods of frequency selection, non-volatile memory to store and scan up to ten favorite frequencies, and front panel frequency selector lockout. In addition, this model offers an impressive array of design and performance improvements: 1. Improved receiver: designed for increased sensitivity and image rejections. 2. Double FET balanced mixer: for improved receiver intermodulation rejection. 3. New power supply protection: and temperature compensation for improved stability and reliability over wide temperature ranges. 4. Surface mount components: for increased resistance to shock and vibration. 5. Improved display lighting: for easy reading in a wide range of light conditions. 6. Variable Power Output from 10 watts to 200 watts (RCI-2970N2).
