Default Double Super Hetrodyne what does this do in a CB Radio ?

Hi, Does anyone know What Double Super Hetrodyne does in a CB radio.


snippety

Yes. It gives the marketing dweebs something to write about.

I have a GE 40 channel cb and it has Double Super Hetrodyne.


There is a possibility -- a very weak one -- that this bizarre
market-speak means that the radio was designed with a double-conversion
receiver. It's impossible to say without seeing a schematic.

Why anyone would put that much effort and expense into a CB radio,
however, is beyond me. I think you're running into nothing more that
marketing buzzwords. "Double Super Heterodyne" certainly has no meaning
in the technical world.
