Tristar 848 and 797 differences.

[Mudslinger]

Just wondering really, what is the difference between a Tristar 848 and a Tristar 797?

The both look the same and appear to have the same board in them.

Hello Simon

The difference between a Tristar 848 and a Tristar 797 is 240 cx or 200 cx





Same PCB PCMA001S

Thanks Claude, so in the real world no difference as the extra channels are unlikely to be used anyway.

I have the 848 and as far as I know it's just the addition of band F on the 848.

[Mudslinger]

So it got another 40 channels above the others, or did band E become F and the rest moved back 40 channels if that makes sense?

[Admiral]

I think F band is another 40 channels of 10m, 28.315-28.755. C band is generally the FCC 40 with these Cybernets, NATO2000 etc.

[Triple3]

The 848 has 6 bands and the 797 has 5 bands

The difference becomes apparent when you want to put a UK40 eprom in, one's easy, one isn't.

[Mudslinger]

I wont bother with an eprom. It covers the uk channels anyway with a twist of the clarifier.

[cubwolf]

The one with the extra blocks uses the channel switch and the pll to do the extra bands and actually uses less crystals.

[Mudslinger]

Cheers for that Info Dave. Which one would you say was better?

Sounds like the Swedish chef on "The Muppets" lol.

I think he's offering me a free 848 radio if I send him a picture of my wife.
Sod it, for that radio he can HAVE my wife

I've noticed that one of these radios has the PCMA001S board, where the other is PCMA001S-01. What is the difference that means that one is easy and one isn't. Is it to do with one of them only using three band crystals?
