Abstract: An electronic tour guide system including means for suppressing objectionable crosstalk and noise is described. Crosstalk suppression is achieved by means of a comprssor in the transmitter and an expander in the receiver. Objectionable noise between loops is eliminated by means of a squelch circuit which reduces power drain whenever the received signal is below a certain threshold. The transmitter and receiver are designed to handle a plurality of information signals simultaneously. For example, a listener can select one of several different languages broadcast within an antenna loop. The transmitting loop antenna is matched in impedance to the output of the channel means in the transmitter so that maximum power transfer is obtained. Each receiver is further equipped with a gravity operated mercury switch which turns off power to the receiver when the receiver chasis is inverted.
