Introduc tion T his Document written will help improve some of the shortcomings of the R anger R C I S S -158-E DX 12-10m band Multi-mode transc eiver, especially for use in UK and E U states where narrow fm is used more wildly. All mode 20dB R oofing F ilter to help resolve QR M\No ise F loor. F M A udio C lipper corrected waveform and helps impro ve audio punch on narrow F M mode F M receiver demodulator AF gain recovery increased for Narrow fm (based of E T S I\E N 9khz B\W 2.00khz deviation 100% max 60% dev= 1.2khz specs) Increased volume gain on lower fm narrow deviation levels at 60% level at 1.2K hz deviation suitable for Multi-Norm E uropean N arrow F M mode. LT 455G W -9.0K hz filter 455khz to widen F M bandwidth on receiver side. F m R eceiver audio quieting improved. G ain In\Out from E cho board equalised and improved.
