The unit measures a trim 1.3X6.3 inches and weighs just 2.8 pounds. The KY196A and KY197A are engineered for reliability, using the latest in digital technology.
Open construction provides easy access to all circuits and components for inspection or service.
Other capabilities of the two transceivers are the same. Both units incorporate solid-state construction, with a digital frequency synthesizer generating all COMM frequencies. Despite their wide range of capabilities, the KY196A and KY197A were designed to be easy to read and logical to operate. For example, the active frequency is clearrly distinguishable from the standby, with both displayed in separate, dedicated windows. This enables you to select the standby frequency while continuing to monitor the active frequency.
