Design featuresThe
Storno 7000 was constructed in three main parts, the radio housing and
baseplate assembly which had all the front and side button actuators and
contacts for the separate battery. The internals consisted of the front
shield which carried the LCD display, speaker, keypad membrane, personality
EEPROM and controller of the peripheral electronics (COPE). The front
shield clipped over the frame assembly which housed the top panel controls,
the main circuit board with controller of the radio electronics (CORE),
and the plug-in RF modules. |
