Operation RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation

Power Set
The power set functionality of the RF-O! transmitter software simply regenerates the
tables in Figure 5-15 based on the user’s desired per-subchannel power setting. Using the
RFO FIPS: a880xand a881ycommands, the user can select the power output for both FM
and AM transmissions. The range of power settings depends upon the number of PAs
installed. Table 5-8 shows the allowable power settings for different station configurations.
For an example, assume that the RF-O! transmitter is Model PT1052 (Single PA) and the user
wants to transmit at most two subchannels of ReFLEX. The table indicates that the FM power
setting must be between 40 Watts (Min) and 125 Watts (Max). Model PT1052 will only support
a single subchannel of AM (InFLEXion) with a power range of 40 to 75 Watts.
To set the FM power to 75 Watts, enter the following RFO FIPS command:
RFO FIPS: a 88 0 75
To set the AM power to 50 Watts, enter the following RFO FIPS command:
RFO FIPS: a 88 1 50
The RF-O! transmitter software will not allow the user to enter a power setting which is not
valid for the current RF-O! transmitter model configuration.
