Frequency Bands
The BTR-80N system operates over the following frequency
ranges:
North America
– Base TX: 482-608 MHz
– Base RX: 572-608 MHz, US 3 Band: 653-663 MHz
Europe
– Base TX: 482-608 MHz
– Base RX: 572-608, 614-722 MHz
The bands, US TV channels, and frequencies are shown in
Figure 81. Most bands are 18 MHz wide.
Bands F to C are always base transmit bands (beltpack receive
bands). Bands 1-6 are always base receive bands (beltpack
transmit bands). Bands D and E can be both a base transmit or
receive band, depending on the unit ordered. Thus an A2 base
station is comprised of an A band transmitter and a two (2) band
receiver.
Band Pairing for Systems
All band pairs cannot be made into a system. Table 3 show the
available band pairings.
In Table 3, it can be seen that a C base station transmit band can
be paired with 3, 4, 5, or 6 receive bands. However, a C2 unit
cannot be made.This is because a certain amount of frequency
separation between transmit nad receive bands is required for
good transmit and receive operation. If they are too close the RF
performance of the system is reduced.
