MM806 MODULATION MONITOR
The R.L. Drake MM806 is a professional quality agile
television demodulator with video and audio metering that
demodulates any VHF, UHF, or CATV channel
(54 - 806 MHz).
One MM806 may be added to a headend installation with
the combined headend output sampled with a directional
coupler and the sampled output fed to the MM806 RF
input. Any NTSC channel from the headend can be
selected and monitored on the MM806. This allows easy
setup of video and audio levels.
The desired off-air VHF or UHF television channel from
2 through 69 or CATV channel from 2 through 125 is
selected by a front panel pushwheel switch and
associated slide switch. The MM806 provides a standard
negative sync video output at a nominal level of 1 Vp-p.
