The new Star AM7 range of mobile radio telephones introduced by Standard Telephones and Cables complements the VHF FM series brought out in 1968. The AM7 has the same styling and appearance as the VHF range but covers all VHF frequencies available for use in Britain; there are low, midand high-band versions.
Main features of the Star UHF are incorporated in the AM7. They are completely solid state and have simple fullyrecessed controls, cushioned frontal design and a noise-cancelling microphone. A simple mounting tray with anti-theft catch simplifies fitting.
Excellent speech quality and high-performance ignition sup
pression are claimed for the Star AM7 and drain on vehicle batteries is said to be very low— less than a headlamp bulb when on "transmit". Controls consist of on-off, volume and ''squelch" (which suppresses no-signal receiver noise) while there is a "press-to-talk" switch on the microphone. In a four-channel version there is a channel-selection switch.
The AM7 measures Bin. by 7.25in. by 2in. and weighs 6Ib including the separate loudspeaker unit.
