Supply voltage 10-28VDC, DO-160 surge limiter active at 34V and higher.
Supply current RX: 0.3A at 13.8V, TX: 2.5A at 13.8V, TX into 50 ohm dummy load.
Operating
temperature
-20 to +55 degrees Celsius. Convection or forced air cooling
recommended if operated regularly at high ambient temperatures.
Frequency range 118.000 MHz to 136.992 MHz, 25Khz and 8.33Khz channel spacing.
Compatible with offset carrier operations with either channel spacing.
TX Power High power option selected: 10W @13.8V, 8W @ 12V, 6W @ 10V
Low power option selected: 5W at any voltage above 9V.
Tolerance: +/-15%.
Note: Due to the asymmetric modulation scheme that aims to reduce
peak power needs, when modulated with a constant tone at maximum
modulation index average power will show a slight decrease when
measured with typical power meters. This decrease may be up to 10%
depending on signal characteristics.
Modulation AM 5K6A3E, Modulation is digitally controlled to achieve a modulation
index of 70%, hard limited to a maximum of 80%. Modulation depth is
regulated independently for positive and negative waves.
