Specifications subject to change without notice. 
Operating Frequencies:
  Band A1:  470.100 - 537.575 
  Band B1:  537.600 - 607.950 
Frequency Selection Steps:  Selectable; 100 kHz or 25 kHz
RF Power output:  Selectable 50/100 mW
Pilot tone:  3.5 kHz deviation (Nu Hybrid)
Frequency stability:  ± 0.002%
Spurious radiation:  Compliant with ETSI EN 300 
    422-1 v1.4.2
Equivalent input noise:  –125 dBV (A-weighted)
Input level:  Nominal 2 mV to 300 mV, before limiting. 
    Greater than 1V maximum, with limiting. 
Input impedance:  1K Ohm
Input limiter:  Dual envelope “soft” limiter; greater 
    than 30 dB range
Gain control range:  55 dB; panel mounted 
    membrane switches
Modulation indicators:  Dual bi-color LEDs indicate modulation 
    of -20, -10, 0, +10 dB referenced to full
  modulation
Audio Performance (overall system):
Frequency Response:  35 Hz to 20 kHz (+/-1dB); 
Low frequency Roll-off:  Adjustable for -3dB @30, 50, 70, 100,   
    120 or 150 Hz)
THD:    0.2% (typ. 100 Hz to 20 kHz - see graph)
SNR at receiver output: 
SmartNR  no limiting  w/limiting
OFF  103.5 108.0
NORMAL 107.0  111.5
FULL 108.5 113.0
Note: The dual envelope “soft” limiter provides exceptionally good handling of 
transients using variable attack and release time constants. 
Once activated, the limiter compresses 30+ dB of transmitter input range into 4.5 
dB of receiver output range, thus reducing the measured figure for SNR without 
limiting by 4.5 dB.
Input Dynamic Range:  125 dB (with full Tx limiting)
