7. Other bhi Products.
bhi design and manufacture a range of Digital Signal Processing
(DSP) products to remove unwanted noise and interference leaving
only the speech. The amount of noise removed is dependant on the
filter level setting (65% - 98%). The resulting speech signal remains
virtually unaltered even when high levels of noise are present. If
thereis no noise present atall,thespeech passes throughunaltered.
The system is fully adaptive and adjusts itself continuously to
changing environmental conditions.
There are noise elimination speakers that fit into base station or
mobile environment, in-line modules that can be integrated into the
communications system, or PCB modules that can be retrofitted
internally into the equipment. The products work just as well in the
transmit or receive path.
VFO operation can be set as follows:
To swap VFOs A & B, A/B press the “.” (decimal) key
VFO A=B long press of the “.”(decimal) key
Split VFO mode by pressing the CLR key.
Pressing and holding the Ent key puts the Radio Mate into the tune
mode.
When in this mode, all the current modes of operation are read
from the radio and stored in the keypad. The radio is then put into
transmit mode for 10 seconds to tune an ATU. After the tune is
complete the radio is returned to its previous settings. If the tuning
operation completes after a few seconds, press the Ent key again
and the tune function will be stopped and the radio returned to its
previous settings.
