Notes:
1. Max Symbol Rate = 2500 ksps
2. Max Data Rate for Low Var. Rate: 512 kbps.
3. OQPSK Option only: OQPSK 1/2, 3/4, and 7/8
Upon entry, the current transmitter rate is displayed with the flashing cursor on the first
character of the code rate on line 1. Line 2 displays the data rate. Press [
←
] or [
→
] to
make the selection. To select the currently defined variable data rate, select TX-V, and
press <ENTER> twice.
To change the rate using the variable rate selection, press <ENTER> when TX-V is
displayed. A flashing cursor is displayed on the first character of the coding type on line
1. Press [
←
] or [
→
] to move the flashing cursor, and [
↑
] or [
↓
] to increment or
decrement the digit at the flashing cursor. Press <ENTER> to execute the change.
Notes:
1. When the TX rate has been programmed, the transmitter is automatically turned
off to prevent swamping of other channels.
2. To turn the transmitter on, use the TX-IF Output function.
3. Code Rate 3/4 not compatible with a combination of a CSC Closed Modulator
Type and Sequential Encoder.
