GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Your SOMMERKAMP TS-5680 transce ver has been désgnée! for cont nous heavy
duty portable appl cat on. It can be operated w th external antenna, power supply,
headset, telephoneset ncorporat ng automat c vo ce operated transm t/rece ve
sw tch ng, short type rubber antenna, external sélect ve call ng w th automat c
answerback and many more.
GENERAL:
The transce ver s des gned to operate w th nternal dry cells or rechargeable
n ckel-cadm um batter es such as N500AA set w th the 12360 charger, or w th
an external 12V DC power supply such as NT30, or w th an automob le battery.
To prevent exces ve battery dra n, th s transce ver has a stand-by sw tch n
comb nat on w th the operate and call sw tch, wh ch by a t m ng c rcu t and
a sw tch ng trans stor sw tches the rece ver on for 2 seconds and off for 10
seconds. Th s dev ce extends the battery l fe 6 t mes longer compared w th
cont nous squelched stand-by operat on. It s necessary, however, for a call ng
stat on to call by m n mum 10-15 seconds before rece pt on and contact s
poss ble.
RECEIVER SECTION:
The rece ver sect on s des gned to rece ve ampl tude modulated s gna s(AM/A3)
n the 26.965 to 27.855 MHz. (11 meter) c t zens band. The unque comb nat on
of low no se F eld Effect Trans stors (FET), double convers on, a comb nat on
of mechan cal ceram c, and L/C f lters, fully automat c nose l m ter and a h f
