TPT-2 allows the user to select either Transmitter A or Transmitter B as the Main Transmitter.

Select Transmitter B as Main and Transmitter A as Backup to select the Starlink as the main

link.

Set the Starlink system to operate in Cold-Standby mode. In this mode the transmitter is not

radiating unless selected to correspond to the TPT-2 operation.

The Starlink-to-TPT-2 transfer control cable is available from Moseley for this configuration

(203-12225-01), although a cable can be made from a shielded RJ-45 (Black Box p/n

EVNSL60-0006). This is a 6 foot cable that can be cut, and the ends tinned to provide the

signals for the indicated connection. Be sure to maintain the shield performance by connecting

to ground. The high RF levels in typical STL receiver environments can cause problems
