VHF Amplifier Instruction Manual VT-3 132 - 174 MHz
It is
recommended
that the radio
communications
test set be frequency locked to an external
reference
(WWVH, GPS, Loran C) so that the high
stability
oscillator
may be
accurately
set to
within
its
±1
ppm frequency
tolerance.

Printed Circuitboard Numbering Convention
To ease
troubleshooting
and
maintenance
procedures,
Daniels
Electronics
Limited
has adopted a
printed
circuitboard
(PCB) numbering
convention
in
which
the last two digits of the
circuitboard
number represent the
circuitboard
version.
For
example:
• PCB number 43-912010
indicates
circuitboard
version
1.0;
• PCB number 50002-02
indicates
circuitboard
version
2.0.
All
PCB's
manufactured
by Daniels
Electronics
are
identified
by one of the
above
conventions.
3.5
Standard Factory Settings and Jumper Configuration
The
VT-3/150
Amplifier
is factory configured as
follows:
• Open
collector
configuration
for Output Power
Alarm.
• Open
collector
configuration
for
Antenna
VSWR
Alarm.
The corresponding jumper settings are:
• Jumper JU1: not
installed
Output power
alarm
-
linear
output
• Jumper JU2:
installed
Output power
alarm
- open
collector
output
• Jumper JU3:
installed
Antenna
VSWR
alarm
- open
collector
output
• Jumper JU4: not
installed
Antenna
VSWR
alarm
-
linear
output

eneral
The
VT-3/150
Amplifier
is a frequency
sensitive
module that is factory assembled to
operate
in one
of two frequency bands: 132 to 150 MHz or 150 to 174 MHz. The
amplifier
requires 7 dBm of
input power and is
continuously
adjustable
over
the its power range of 2.0 to 8.0 Watts. The
VT-3/150
Amplifier
provides
Output Power and
Antenna
VSWR
Alarm
outputs
which
can be
configured for open
collector
output or
linear
operation.
The
amplifier's
output power
level
and
alarm
levels
can be set
without
detaching
the
amplifier
from the
transmitter
board.
However,
to
change the
configuration
of the output power
alarm
or the
Antenna
VSWR
alarm,
the VT-3/150
Amplifier
must be
detached
from the MT-3
Transmitter
Board. Refer to page 4-2
"VT-3/150
VHF
Amplifier
Component
Layout" for the
location
of solder jumpers JU1 to JU4.
