  • Notes

  • This new Alan 48 named "Excel" has many new characteristics.
    First of all the general characteristics:
    Alan 48 Excel is equipped with the "ESP2" (noise reducer device) that reduces considerably the audio noises up to 95%, allowing a clear communication even when the signals is disturbed.

    Receiver: Double conversion superheterodyne.
    Sensitivity: 0.5 µV for 20 dB SINAD in AM/FM.
    Audio output power: 2 Watt at 8 Ω.
    .
    Transmitter: 4 Watt AM/FM at 13.2 V. (Some models only 1 Watt).
    Modulation: FM 1.8 kHz ± 0.2 kHz; AM 85 to 95%.
    Frequency response: 400 Hz ÷ 3 kHz.
    Output impedance: 50 Ω unbalanced.
    36 Transistors, 29 Diodes, 4 Zener Diodes, 7 ICs and 2 rectifier diodes, listed one per type and not all.
