1.2.5 Satellator
One additional option is available for all configurations—an FSK Identifier (FSK IDer). This
added feature enables the FM600 to transmit its call sign or operating frequency in a Morse
code style. This option is intended for use in satellite-fed networks. Transmitters equipped in
this fashion are often known as "satellators."
Connect the transmitter to your satellite receiver and the pre-programmed FSK IDer does the
rest—shifting the frequency to comply with FCC requirements and in a manner that is unno-
ticeable to the listener. The FSK IDer module should be ordered at the time you order your
transmitter, but is available separately (factory programmed for your installation).

composite input signal is required.)
