R3 

Serial Port time out 

– Number of mS of no activity on 

the serial port  before transmitting the data in its buffer.  

Range: 1 - 5000 

20 (mS) 

R5 

Preamble length 

– The number of bytes to send over-

the-air in the pre-amble. 

 

Range: 3 - 255

 

4

**

 

(Varies based 

on data rate 

and radio 

type. 7 typical)

 

R8 

Frequency Offset. 

 Used to set the radio on the center of 

the radio channel.  

 

Range: -500 to +500 

0

**

 

R9 

Modulation Balance.   

Range: 0-100 

20

**

 

RA 

Select RF CD output threshold 

– This value is the 

RSSI threshold where the carrier detect is asserted.  
Note: To force CD always on, set this to 0, and R1 to RF 

Carrier Detect. 

 

Range : 0 thru -127 
 

-110 

 

10.3. Center Frequency 

1.  Key the transmitter with CW output using this command: 

ATTD 7

 

2.  The modem will now put out CW on the center of the channel.  

3.  Read the frequency offset with the 

ATR8

 command. 

4.  Adjust the frequency to the center of the channel with the 

ATR8

 

command.  You can use the “U” key and the “D” key to change the 
settings up and down one value in real time.   

10.4. TX Deviation 

1.  Switch to channel 1.  

2.  Key the transmitter into a 50 ohm load using the 

ATTD 3

 command.  The 

unit will now transmit, and send a digital 0 continuously.  This should be 
+2.0kHz in frequency for narrow-band radios (12.5kHz spaced channels) 
and +4.0kHz for wide-band (25kHz channels).   

3.  Adjust the deviation register setting so that the frequency deviation is 

correct.  The deviation is set with a digital adjustment.   Use the ATR0 
command to read or set the deviation level.   

10.5. TX Modulation Balance  

(

Note: This step is not performed on radios with Radio Type 5

1.  Set-up a service monitor to monitor the FM deviation of the transmitted 

signal on an oscilloscope.   The frequency response of the demodulated 
FM signal must be greater than 10Hz to 5kHz without any de-emphasis.    

2.  Transmit random data on the center of the band, using the 

ATTD 1

 

command.  This command will cause the 

RV-M80-EA2 

to automatically 

key up, and send random data for one minute.
