2 Working Modes and Functions
2.1 General
The R&S M3SR Series 4100 150 W HF Transceiver covers the frequency range 1.5 to 30 MHz (TX)
and 0 to 30
MHz (RX). The output power (TX) is 150 W ±1 dB PEP, 100 W ±1 dB CW.
CAUTION
If the ERASE function on backplane connector X26 is not deactivated by the jumper
on X304 of the Motherboard, check the ERASE signal (or short-circuit connector) at
X26.6 and X26.44. These pins shall be connected together, otherwise the radio con
-
troller will loose its mission-critical data.
2.2 Voice Communication
Voice transmission is possible in both digital and analog mode. Depending on the software
configuration, the transceiver is able to operate with signal modulations in the HF band as listed in
Table 2.1 (emission designators according to CCIR).
