Introduction
The CR187 receiver design originated in the late 1980’s with a feature set intended for camera mounted ENG appli-
cations. It’s fixed frequency design included extremely sharp front-end filters and narrowband crystal filters in the IF
stage, which likely explains its continued use in today’s crowded RF environment.
The receiver operates on a single 9V battery or external DC power, allowing it to be used in a wide variety of applica-
tions in broadcast and film production, ENG and with almost any pro sound equipment.
