CREEK T43 AM/FM TUNER TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS version method of retrieving radio signals, which combined with a single stage broadly tuned front- end, allows the T43 to pick out weak stations from the airwaves when they are closely situated in frequency to a strong local station. Local AFC also allows the digital bus to be switched-off when not in use, maintaining even lower levels of digital interference to the radio signal. Surface mount technology and the use of double sided plated through hole printed circuit boards provide a high level of interference suppression and help to achieve professional levels of performance. To create the simplicity of operation and custom features like remote control, rotary tuning and pre-sets, Creek wrote custom soft- ware to drive all the controls via a two wire digital bus. All the active devices in the T43 are controlled by this digital bus, which allows the design of the tuner to be updated by changing the codes in the microcontroller. Future upgrades, or changes of country settings are made easy as thesecustom features and station pre- sets are held in a non-volatile memory, similar to that of a PC computer. Since its release in the middle of 1997, the T43 has won praise, from all that have used it, for its novel features and breathtaking sound quality. What Hi-Fi were even persuaded to describe its addictive quality as a reason to re- think the idea of radio as a purely backgroundmusic medium. The open and dynamic sound capabilities of the T43 are only restricted by the quality of the aerial antenna used and the source quality from the radio station.
