P-379 Processor

Translator Hookup

1. Connect modulated video from P-379 RF OUT to the Technalogix power amplifier.

2. Turn down RF level on P-379 all the way.

3. Ensure that IF OUT is connected to IF IN on the P-379 processor using the loop F to

F cable supplied.

4. Connect the transmitting antenna cable to the RF output connector on the power

amplifier. It is recommended that a quality through line wattmeter be installed in this

same line.

5. Verify that all signal and RF cables are connected properly.

6. After following proper installation procedures outlined in the power amplifier manual,

plug the power amplifier’s power cords into an appropriate electrical outlet.

Output power should be adjusted with a sync and blanking signal only with the aural

carrier removed. This is simply done by disconnecting one end of the audio carrier loop

found on the back panel of the P-379.

AUTOMATIC MORSE CODE KEYING DEVICE

Translators must be equipped with a device that identifies the call signal of the translator

in Morse code (usually be frequency shifting the aural carrier not less than 5 kHz or

amplitude modulating the aural carrier with a 200 Hertz tone) once each hour. This

feature can be disabled if the parent station for the translator sends the call sign of the

translator in the visual picture or identifies it as part of the aural modulation. The end

user must do this as a regulation of FCC.
