Funkwerk FSG8

Description

The FSG8 is the successor of the wellknown "yellow briquettes" FSG4 and FSG5 and complies with the reduced channelseparation of 8.33kHz . The transmitter and receiver unit of the FSG8 handheld radio is derived from the proven ATR model series. These have been thoroughly redesigned to meet the demanding requirements for a certification as a ground-based handheld VHF transceiver for aeronautical mobile services. The FSG8 has the same housing as its predecessor and is therefore just as robust.
