Other "goodies" include programmable tuning-steps, IF shift, BFO and APF controls, voice squelch and a 1000-memory scanner. There is a RS-232C interface for computer control and with the optional UT-102 voice synthesizer unit it will even talk to you (it announces the frequency). There are three antenna sockets at the rear (HF 50 Ohm / HF 500 Ohm and one for VHF / UHF).

Modes available are USB, LSB, AM (wide / narrow / normal), FM (wide / narrow / normal) and CW (normal / narrow) assuming the relevant filters are fitted. This is the European version with continuous frequency coverage from 100khz to 2Ghz (the USA version has gaps in the frequency coverage) and 10Hz resolution. Information below for SWL / Radio "Ham" enthusiasts.
