T6T 300 Watt VHF Transmitter Page 37 Operation
Setting Up and Operation
Setting up the transmitter involves using the front panel Scroll/Select switch to specify the operating
parameters.
Operating parameters can also be set using the Virtual Front Panel (VFP), through a Multi-Access
Remote Control (MARC) system, or from an associated T6 controller. VFP operation is described on this
CD under Maintenance; MARC and T6 controller functionality is described in separate documentation.
Table 12 on page 63 details the functions and parameters that can be set from all sources.
No attempt to set up the transmitter should be made until the installation procedures, given in the
Installation topic, are completed.
Normal Operation
During normal operation, the LCD displays the Main screen. This screen shows the operating frequency,
the channel number (if the channel store facility is used), the offset carrier (if used), and displays a
graphical representation of output power when the transmitter is keyed. If the transmitter has been set to
Standby mode, which is shown by the front panel Standby indicator being lit, the LCD is blanked.
Using the Scroll/Select Switch
The Scroll/Select switch (referred to throughout this topic as the ‘Switch’) is used to leave the Main
screen and display the Control screen (see page 40). Further use of the Switch displays various selection
menus and allows the required parameters to be set. The switch has three actions: it can be turned
clockwise, anti-clockwise, or momentarily pushed in.
