WEATHER BAND RADIO
The IC Chip supports weather band reception from 162.4 to 162.55 MHz.
The highly integrated IC Chip meets NOAA specification, receives all seven
NOAA specified frequencies, implements narrowband FM de-emphasis,
and supports 1050 Hz alert tone detection. In addition, the IC Chip provides
advanced features not available on conventional radios, such as an AFC
and a dynamic channel bandwidth filter. In WB mode the radio will
continually broadcasts weather radio. Fully extend telescoping antenna.
Radio receives 7 weather band (WB) frequencies:
Channel 1: 162.400MHz
Channel 5: 162.500MHz
Channel 2: 162.425MHz
Channel 6: 162.525MHz
Channel 3: 162.450MHz
Channel 7: 162.550MHz
Channel 4: 162.475MHz
AM RADIO
The highly integrated IC Chip supports worldwide AM band reception from
520 to 1710 kHz using a digital low-IF architecture with a minimum number
of external components and no manual alignment required. This digital low-
IF architecture allows for high-precision filtering offering excellent selectivity
and SNR with minimum variation across the AM band.
FM RADIO
The IC Chip FM receiver is based on the proven IC Chip FM tuner. The
receiver uses a digital low-IF architecture allowing the elimination of
external components and factory adjustments. The IC Chip integrates a low
noise amplifier (LNA) supporting the worldwide FM broadcast band (87.5 to
108 MHz).
