Magnum AlphaForce Operating Manual - page 4
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Magnum AlphaForce 10 meter FM/AM transceiver. The AlphaForce is
designed to provide years of enjoyment and trouble-free service. There are many features and functions
designed into this transceiver. To ensure that your investment is enjoyed to its fullest extent, please take a
few moments and thoroughly read this manual.
The Magnum AlphaForce is a microprocessor controlled, user programmable radio combining high RF per-
formance with a user-friendly environment. The AlphaForce is built rugged to withstand years of use in harsh
mobile environments. Although engineered with mobile use in mind the AlphaForce, with the addition of a
high quality 10 amp regulated power supply, may be easily adapted to fixed station operation.
Some of the features of the AlphaForce are; an advanced design liquid crystal display that provides the
operator with a full visual account of the transceivers operating status, automatic frequency scanning from
either the front panel or microphone, memory storage of your favorite frequencies, programmable frequency
resolution of either 1 kHz, 10 kHz or 100 kHz, and split (offset) frequency operation for repeater use. These
are just a few of the features that make the AlphaForce a pleasure to own and operate.
IMPORTANT:
The Magnum AlphaForce is designed for entry level amateur use. If the transmitter is oper-
ated in the United States or within it’s territories a licensed amateur radio operator must be present at the
station. The minimum license class to operate 10 meter phone is Novice/Technician. If you are studying for
your license and want to familiarize yourself with the operation of the radio, the receiver may be operated with
or without a licensed operator present. For more information regarding FCC licensing, contact your nearest
amateur radio dealer, or for complete details contact the American Radio Relay League.
