- FREQUENCY submenu
Standard ([User], UHF, VHF)
The user can set the output signal frequency by choosing Standard/Channel pair or by
setting a custom frequency. At the time of printing this manual, the available standards are
UHF and VHF. Others may be available with future firmware releases

Channel (depending on the selected standard)
The user can set the output signal frequency by choosing Standard/Channel pair or by
setting a custom frequency. At the time of printing this manual, the available standards are
UHF and VHF. Others may be available with future firmware releases. The channels that
can be chosen depend on the selected standard (for example, if UHF standard is selected,
channel can be changed in the 14-69 interval). When a different standard is chosen (for
example, from VHF to UHF), the first channel (in the example, 14) is automatically set.
When a custom frequency is set instead, User appears as the standard and channel and
the channel offset is reset

Channel Offset (-9999÷+9999Hz by 1Hz step)
If the frequency is set by using Standatd/Channel pair, it is possible to finely adjust the
center frequency, by setting this parameter. The offset can be negative and positive.
Freq (57÷860MHz by 1Hz step)
The user can set the output signal frequency by choosing Standard/Channel pair or by
setting a custom frequency. The digits of the frequency can be changed one at a time in
the 0-9 range (only the first digit can be changed in the 1-8 range). Click on the knob to
move to the next digit. If a value lower than 57MHz (greater than 860MHz) is set, the
frequency 57MHz (860MHz) will be used instead

UPC PLL (Locked, Unlocked)
This read-only parameter shows the status of the up-converter PLL. It can be Locked or
Unlocked

When a custom frequency is set instead, User appears as the standard and channel and the channel offset is reset. If a frequency
outside the band of the equipment is set, the upconverter PLL can’t lock and the modulator goes in an error condition (for example,
this happens when a UHF channel is set on a VHF transmitter).
