2.4 FIELD ALIGNMENTS
As the TX and RX module is pre-tuned for the whole operational frequency range and
level adjustment of signal path is done by software (local or remotely), there is no field
alignment required for optimizing the performance.
2.5 SPECIFICATIONS
2.5.1 Description
The transceiver is a digitized, software upgradable radio, The exciter and the receiver
can be configured as base station, repeater or the stand-alone unit. The exciter
normally has maximum 5 Watt output which is used to drive a high power amplifier. It
can also be used alone in lower power applications. The output power can be preset
between 0.3 and 5 watts. All necessary control and 600 ohm line interface circuitry is
included.
2.5.1.1 Channel Capacity
Although most applications are single channel, it can be programmed for up to 256
channels (from CH0 to CH255). Each channel can have it’s own name, TX/RX
frequencies and profiles.
2.5.1.2 Sub Audio Signaling
Full EIA CTCSS capability as well as nonstandard sub tones are built into the modules.
The CTCSS tone can be programmed for each channel in their profiles. This means
each channel can represent a unique TX/RX and tone frequency combination.
2.5.1.3 Channel Programming
The channel information is stored in Flash memory and can be programmed via the
Ethernet, USB or RS232 interface using a Host PC and RF Technology’s Service Kit
software.
2.5.1.4 Channel Selection
Channel can be select by Service Kit or front panel buttons (if enabled).
2.5.2 Physical Configuration
The transceiver is designed to fit in a 19-inch rack mounted frame. The installed height
is 4 RU (178 mm) and the depth 350 mm. The transceiver is 63.5 mm or 2W (two
Eclipse Modules) wide. The weight of the transceiver is approximately 1.6kg
