The 3116-T71-184 Translator converts one of five input RF bands to one of five output RF bands in seven
unique combinations. The RF to RF gain is +20 dB, maximum. Connectors are SMA female for the RF Out,
RF In and RF In Monitor and BNC female for the external reference input and reference output. Front panel
LEDs provide indication of Remote Operation, DC Power, Mute, and PLL Alarm. Gain, band select, and
