The UT-4E UHF transmitter is an FM radio module capable of analog operation in 12.5 KHz
(narrowband) or 25 KHz (wideband) channels. A fi rmware upgrade may be purchased to
allow P25 digital operation. The UT-4E UHF transmitter operates in one of three frequency
bands: 380 to 406 MHz, 406 to 470 MHz or 470 to 520 MHz. A modular design allows each
of the transmitter’s internal modules to be individually assembled and tested. This facilitates
construction, tuning and maintenance as well as troubleshooting procedures. The transmitter
can be programmed with up to 2 banks of 16 channels each.

Transmitter Operating Frequency
The transmitter is initially aligned at the factory for the frequency shown on the label on the front panel. For a small
frequency change, no re-alignment of the transmitter may be required. If the frequency change is greater than
±0.5 MHz from the frequency at which the last complete transmitter alignment was performed, the VSWR alarm
/ overload (if used) will need to be realigned. To align and / or adjust the transmitter, the outer cover needs to be
removed; the transmitter needs to be plugged into the subrack via a cable and / or extender card; and power must
be applied to the system. A 50 dummy load should be connected to the RF output when transmitting.
