PL-310

Functional Block Diagram

PL-310 is using DSP si4734 Microchips (from Silicon Labs in
USA) to digitalize the analog AM/FM broadcasting signal base
on the modern software technology and radio principles. It can
highly improve on radio's sensitivity, selectivity, S/N ratio and
anti-interference.

MW(AM) as well as the temperature in the degree of
Fahrenheit ( ) for the North America region.
In order to provide convenience to the end users, the
"10kHz" is default to be displayed with temperature in the
degree of Fahrenheit ( ) and for "9kHz" to be displayed
with temperature in the degree of Centigrade ( ) together.
If the display shows "10kHz" with degree of Fahrenheit ( ),
which means this radio is set to 10 kHz step for MW(AM)
