ALAN 95 D80 PLUS

Your 80 channel Mobile CB represents the state-of-the art in high-tech engineering.
Designed for 80 FM-12 AMchannel Citizen Band Mobile operation, this compact
package is big in performance. Compact unit, is a quality piece of electronic
equipment, skillfully constructed from the finest components. The circuitry is all a solid ­state, mounted on rugged printed circuit boards. It is designed for many years of
reliable, trouble-free performance.Your mobile CB has a built 80 FM/12AM Channel
Phase-Locked Loop synthesizer circuit.
The PLL circuit achieves a new technique for generating all the required frequencies
with fewer crystals. The result is much tighter frequency control and superior reliability.
