Furuno, of South San Francisco,

Calif., is offering a new compact

SSB radiotelephone, the FS-1502.

This new, synthesized 150-watt transceiver offers many of the ad- vanced features found in Furuno's top-of-the-line SSBs, but with an economical price and compact size that is ideal for a variety of commer- cial and recreational vessels.

All frequencies from 1.6 MHz to 26.2 MHz can be utilized with the

FS-1502 across 192 factory-pro- grammed ITU channels.

The operator can also program up to 128 simplex, or 64 duplex, custom channels.

Standard features include an im- pulse noise blanker and squelch adjustment to help minimize noise when receiving and a two-tone alarm generator.

The FS-1502 is designed for easy operator use, with most important functions accessible via the front panel keyboard and frequency se- lection made with either the rotary encoder control or numeric touchpads. The distress/calling fre- quency (2182 kHz) is accessed with a single touchpad.

The unit's large, backlit LCD dis- play clearly provides all operating data, signal strength and RF output level.

An automatic antenna coupler and connector cable are standard with the FS-1502 and users can pair the SSB with the optional Furuno

RB-500 remote station.
