Detailed Terminal Test
Refer to Appendix B for Keypad menu tree.
Transmitter Frequency Measurement &
Adjustment
The reason for performing these procedures is to ensure that the Transmitter
Assembly is operating on the correct frequency and power level to comply with
the license requirements. (Example: FCC Title 47, Part 101.107, 101.111,
101.113, and 101.217.) It also ensures that the residual BER floor and
acquisition time remain within specification.
1. Record the operating frequency of the Transmitter from the Keypad
hidden menu.
CONFIGURATION > F1 + F3 or Ctrl B > TX FREQ
2. For 6/7 GHz radios: Enter 7 digits without the decimal point.
For 10/11 GHz radios: Enter 8 digits without the decimal point. Add zeros
(0’s) at the end if needed to complete the 8-digit field.
This frequency should match the one written on the Tx filter and the
station authorization.
3. Determine from the table in Appendix C
which multiplier-filter should be
used (or is in use).
