1.1 Front Panel Controls and Indicators
1.1.1 PTT
A front-panel push-to-talk (PTT) button is provided to facilitate bench and field tests
and adjustments. The button is a momentary action type. When keyed, audio from the
line input is disabled so that a carrier with sub-tone is transmitted. The front-panel
microphone input is not enabled in this mode, but it is enabled when the PTT line on
that socket is pulled to ground.
1.1.2 Line
The LINE trimpot is accessible by means of a small screwdriver from the front panel of
the module. It is used to set the correct sensitivity of the line and direct audio inputs. It
is factory preset to give 60% of rated deviation with an input of 0dBm (1mW on 600Ω
equivalent to 775mV RMS or about 2.2V peak-to-peak) at 1kHz. The nominal 60%
deviation level may be adjusted by measuring between pins 6 and 1 on the test socket,
and adjusting the pot. By this means an input sensitivity from approximately -30dBm to
+10dBm may be established.
An internal jumper provides a coarse adjustment step of 20dB. Between the jumper and
the trimpot, a wide range of input levels may be accommodated.
