It has AM/NBFM/WBFM and FM stereo,
TV sound and video output as standard.
It has 2 Megabytes of RAM, which can store

home town can be searched for.
No more thumbing through
 scanning directories!
It can hold 54,700 entries,
each with 20 characters of text, mode,
frequency and receiver settings.
A 45 key TV-style remote is provided
for text entry,
or just plug a p.c. keyboard in the back.
It can link up to your personal computer,
 and we include a suite of software to import,
 process and edit most file formats
 to make it easy to gather information
from document scanners, the Internet
 and other sources. An editable database
is loaded into the receiver at the factory.
It has a built in digital sound recorder
and editor so a news flash or rare DX
can be recorded, or in contest working,
important details need not be lost.
It can also be a great help if you are
learning Morse or a new language,
and it can even record from another
receiver. Up to 4 minutes of sound
can be permanently stored!
