FM (VHF) Measuring Range

Chapter 7

You activate the FM (VHF) range via

RANGE

Figure 7-1 VHF measuring range

7.1

Frequency input

You can enter a frequency between 87.40 and 108.20 MHz using the numeric keypad or the arrow

keys. Here the smallest frequency resolution is 0.01 MHz (10 kHz). You use the

ENTER

key to

confirm the entry. After that, the receiver is tuned and the actual measured values are displayed.
Invalid entries are limited to the corresponding minimum or maximum value.

7.2

Sound reproduction

The measuring instrument’s VHF stereo receiver demodulates a received VHF signal and

reproduces the audio signal using the built-in loudspeakers.
