Covers receivers having audio frequency band-widths generally not exceeding 10 kHz for the reception of voice and other types of signals, using single-sideband amplitude modulation.

This standard refers specifically to mobile radio receivers having audio-frequency band-widths generally not exceeding 10 kHz for the reception of voice and other types of signals, using single-sideband amplitude modulation.

This standard is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC Publication 489-1. The supplementary terms and definitions and the conditions of measurement set forth in this standard are intended for type tests and may be used also for acceptance tests.
