The SoundTracker TM System
While previous systems only “blanket out” or limit
noise in higher sound frequencies, the revolution-
ary new SoundTracker
TM System actually reduces
noise while leaving the signal intact in the recep-
tion mode. In the transmission mode, it actually
strengthens the signal,providing you with a
significant reduction in noise on reception
and transmission.
Sound clarity is measured by the ratio
of the signal level to the noise level.
The higher the signal-to-noise ratio,
the better the sound.
How SoundTracker TM Works
On Reception - “Cuts noise coming in”
With a normal CB, distant signals fall below
the squelch level and are unintelligible. With a
SoundTracker
TM CB, the noise level is cut up to
90%,which increases the signal-to-noise ratio
and dramatically improves signal clarity. This also
allows you to significantly reduce the squelch
level,which greatly expands your listening range.
On Transmission - “Strengthens signals going out ”
A SoundTracker TM CB strengthens the transmit
signal by more effectively using the available RF
power output of the CB. The result is improved
transmission signal clarity and an expanded
transmission range.
Note
SoundTracker™ gives you
clearer, cleaner reception to
improve CB communications
while on the air.
