TFM-566

This transceiver is able to tune in 2.5 kHz steps providing both 12.5 kHz (narrowband) or 25.0 kHz (wideband) operation in both bands. Additionally, the TFM-566 features a 2 channel, synthesized VHF high band guard receiver. This transceiver can be operated as a single radio (one band at a time) occupying a single audio controller position or it can be installed in “dual mode” to two audio controller positions (typically FM1 and FM2) allowing for simultaneous operation in both bands.

The TFM-566 can also act as a cross-band repeater and offers 400 memory positions (200 per band) each of which is capable of storing a transmit frequency, a receive frequency, a separate CTCSS tone and/or DPL/DCS digital squelch code for each transmit and receive frequency, and a nine-character alpha-numeric identifier for each channel. All data and software control functions are via the front panel 12-button keypad.

Operating frequency, alpha-numeric identifier and other related data are presented on a 96-character, four-line LED matrix display. The small size and light weight of the TFM-566 make it ideal for helicopter installation.
