1.2.6 Satellator
Another option is available for all configurations—an FSK Identifier (FSK IDer).
This added feature enables the FM500 to transmit its call sign or operating fre-
quency in Morse Code. 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 unnoticeable 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).
Add the FSK IDer option to the exciter configuration for the most economical
satellator (a composite input signal is required).
