Section 1Getting Acquainted
This section provides a general description of the FM30, FM150, and
FM300 transmitters and introduces you to safety conventions used
within this document. Review this material before installing or operating
the transmitter.
Getting Acquainted 1-1

1.1 Your Transmitter
The FM30, FM150, and FM300 are members of a family of FM stereo broadcast
transmitters. Crown transmitters are known for their integration, ease-of-use, and
reliability.
The integration is most apparent in the standard transmitter configuration which

incorporates audio processing, stereo generation, and RF amplification without
compromised signal quality. A single Crown transmitter can replace several pieces of
equipment in a traditional system.
Ease-of-use is apparent in the user-friendly front panel interface and in the installation
procedure. Simply select your operating frequency (using 5 external switches), add an
audio source, attach an antenna, and connect AC or DC power and you're ready to
broadcast. Of course, the FM series of transmitters also feature more sophisticated
inputs and monitoring connections if needed.
Reliability is a Crown tradition. The first Crown transmitters were designed for rigors of
worldwide and potentially portable use. The modular design, quality components,
engineering approach, and high production standards ensure stable performance.
Remote control and metering of the transmitter are made possible through a built-in I/O
port. For more direct monitoring, the front panel includes a digital multimeter display and
status indicators. Automatic control circuitry provides protection for high VSWR as well
as high current, voltage, and temperature conditions.
Illustration 1-1 FM150 Stereo Broadcast Transmitter
This manual describes the FM30, FM150, and FM300 because all three transmitters
share common design factors. Specific product differences are noted throughout the
manual. In physical appearance, the FM30 differs from the FM150 and FM300 in that it
lacks the power amplifier and cooling fan assembly on the back panel.
1-2 FM30/FM150/FM300 Users Manual

1.2 Applications and Options
Crown transmitters are designed for versatility in applications. They have been used as
stand-alone and backup transmitters and in booster, translator, satellator, and nearcast
applications. The following discussion describes these applications further.
Model numbers describe the configuration of the product (which has to do with its intended
purpose) and the RF output power which you can expect.
The number portion of each name represents the maximum RF output power. The FM300,
for example, can generate up to 300 watts of RF output power.
Suffix letters describe the configuration. The FM300T, for example, is the standard or
transmitter configuration. Except where specified, this document describes the transmitter
configuration. In this configuration, the product includes the following components
(functions):
Audio Processor/Stereo Generator

RF Exciter
Metering
Low-Pass filter
Illustration 12 Standard (Transmitter) Configuration

1.2.1 Stand-Alone
In the standard configuration, the FM30, FM150, and FM300 are ideal stand-alone
transmitters. When you add an audio source (monaural, L/R stereo, or composite signal),
an antenna, and AC or DC power, the transmitter becomes a complete FM stereo broadcast
station, capable of serving a community.
As stand-alone transmitters, Crown units often replace multiple pieces of equipment in a
traditional setup (exciter, audio processor, RF amplifier).
1.2.2 Backup
In the standard configuration, Crown transmitters are also used in backup applications.
Should your primary transmitter become disabled, you can continue to broadcast while
repairs take place. In addition, the FM transmitters can replace disabled portions of your
existing system including the exciter, audio processor, or amplifier. Transfer switches on
each side of the existing and backup transmitters make the change-over possible with
minimal downtime.
The DC operation option of the FM30, FM150, and FM300 make them attractive backup
units for those times when AC power is lost.
1.2.3 Exciter
In addition to the standard configuration, the FM30, FM150, and FM300 are available in op-
tional configurations to meet a variety of needs.
An "E" suffix, as in the FM30E, for example, represents an exciter-only configuration. In this
configuration, the audio processor and stereo generator boards are replaced with circuitry to
bypass their function. The exciter configurations are the least expensive way to get Crown
quality components into your transmission system.
You might consider the Crown exciter when other portions of your system are performing
satisfactorily and you want to maximize your investment in present equipment.

1.2.4 Translator
A receiver configuration (FM150R, for example) replaces the audio processor/stereo gen-
erator board with a receiver module. This added feature makes the FM30, FM150, and
FM300 ideal for translator service in terrestrial-fed networks. These networks represent a
popular and effective way to increase your broadcasting coverage. Translators, acting as
repeater emitters, are necessary links in this chain of events.
Traditionally, network engineers have relied on multiple steps and multiple pieces of equip-
ment to accomplish the task. Others have integrated the translator function (receiver and
exciter) to feed an amplifier. Crown, on the other hand, starts with an integrated transmitter
and adds a solid-state Receiver Module to form the ideal translator.
Illustration 13 Crown's Integrated Translator
This option enables RF in and RF out on any of Crowns FM series of transmitters. In addi-
tion, the module supplies a composite output to the RF exciter portion of the transmitter.
From here, the signal is brought to full power by the built-in power amplifier for retransmis-
sion. The Receiver Module has been specifically designed to handle SCA channel output up
to 100 kHz for audio and high-speed data.
FSK ID programming is built-in to ensure compliance with FCC regulations regarding the
on-air identification of translators. Simply specify the call sign of the repeater station when
ordering. Should you need to change the location of the translator, replacement FSK chips
are available. The Receiver Module option should be ordered at the time of initial transmitter
purchase. However, an option kit is available for field converting existing Crown units.
In the translator configuration there are differences in the function of the front panel, see
Section 3 for a description.

1.2.5 Satellator
One additional option is available for all configurationsan FSK Identifier (FSK IDer). This
added feature enables the FM30, FM150, and FM300 to transmit its call sign or operating
frequency in a Morse code style. This option is intended for use in satellite-fed networks.
Transmitters equipped in this fashion are often known as "satellators."
Connect the transmitter to your satellite receiver and the pre-programmed FSK IDer does
the restshifting the frequency to comply with FCC requirements and in a manner that is
unnoticeable to the listener. The FSK IDer module should be ordered at the time you order
your transmitter, but is available separately (factory programmed for your installation).
Illustration 14 Transmitter with FSK IDer Option
Add the FSK IDer option to the exciter configuration for the most economical satellator (a
composite input signal is required).
1.2.6 Nearcasting
The output power of an FM30 transmitter can be reduced to a level that could function as a
near-cast transmitter. Crown transmitters have been used in this way for language transla-
tion, for re-broadcasting the audio of sporting events within a stadium, and for specialized
local radio. The FM30 is the only transmitter that is appropriate for this application.

1.5 Safety Considerations

Crown Broadcast assumes the responsibility for providing you with a safe product and
safety guidelines during its use. Safety means protection to all individuals who install,
operate, and service the transmitter as well as protection of the transmitter itself. To
promote safety, we use standard hazard alert labeling on the product and in this manual.
Follow the associated guidelines to avoid potential hazard.
1.5.1 Dangers
DANGER represents the most severe hazard alert. Extreme bodily harm or death will occur
if DANGER guidelines are not followed.
1.5.2 Warnings
WARNING represents hazards which could result in severe injury or death.
1.5.3 Cautions
CAUTION indicates potential personal injury, or equipment or property damage if the asso-
ciated guidelines are not followed. Particular cautions in this text also indicate unauthorized
radio-frequency operation.
Illustration 15 Sample Hazard Alert

Section 2Installation
This section provides important guidelines for installing your transmitter.
Review this information carefully for proper installation.
Installation 2-1
2.1 Operating Environment
You can install the FM transmitter in a standard component rack or on a suitable surface
such as a bench or desk. In any case, the area should be as clean and well ventilated as
possible. Always allow for at least 2 cm of clearance under the unit for ventilation. If you set
the transmitter on a flat surface, install spacers on the bottom cover plate. If you install the
transmitter in a rack, provide adequate clearance above and below. Do not locate the trans-
mitter directly above a hot piece of equipment.
2.2 Power Connections

The FM30, FM150, and FM300 operate on 100, 120, 220, or 240 volts AC (50 or 60 Hz; sin-
gle phase). Each transmitter can operate on DC power as well (28 volts for the FM30, 48
volts for the FM150, and 72 volts for the FM300). The transmitter can operate on fewer volts
DC, but with reduced RF output power (see section 1.3). In addition, the transmitter isolates
the AC and DC sources; both can be connected at the same time to provide battery backup
in the event of an AC power failure.
2.2.1 AC Line Voltage Setting
To change the voltage setting, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the power cord if it is attached.
2. Open the cover of the power connector assembly using a small, flat blade screw
driver. See Illustration 21.
3. Insert the screwdriver into the voltage selection slot and remove the drum from the as-
sembly.
4. Rotate the drum to select the desired voltage. See Illustration 22.
5. Replace the drum and cover and check to see that the correct voltage appears in the
connector window.
6. Connect the AC power cord.

Installation 2-3
2.2.2 Fuses
The fuse holders are located in the power connector assembly just below the voltage selec-
tor.
Illustration 23 Fuse Holder
For 100 to 120 VAC operation, use the fuse installed at the factory. For 220 to 240 VAC op-
eration, use the slow-blow fuse located in a hardware kit within the transmitter packaging.
Consult the following table:

FM300 100120 V 12.5 A

220240 V 6.3 A
Illustration 24 Fuse Reference Table

2.2.3 Battery Power
Your transmitter can operate on a DC power source (such as 4 or 5, 12volt deep cycle bat-
teries connected in series). The FM30 requires 28 volts DC for full output power, while the
FM150 requires 48 volts, and FM300 requires 72 volts for full output power. Connect the
batteries to the red (+) and black () battery input binding posts on the rear panel.
25 Illustration DC Input Terminals
2.3 Frequency (Channel) Selection

Your transmitter is capable of operating between 87.9 and 107.9 MHz in the FM band. The
transmitter can also operate between 76 and 90 MHz by shorting pins 9 and 10 of J20 on
the motherboard. (See illustration 2-6)
To adjust the operating frequency, follow these steps:
1. Locate the frequency selector switches on the front panel which will be used to change
the setting. See Illustrations 26 and 27.
Installation 2-5
2. Use small flat blade screwdriver or another suitable device to rotate the switches to the
desired setting. (The selected number will appear directly above the white indicator dot
on each switch.) See examples of selected frequencies in the illustration below.
3. To change the operating band from 87.9-107.9MHz to 76-90MHz or vice versa, or to ad-
just the modulation compensation pot, remove the top cover to gain access to these fea-
tures. See illustrations 2-6 and 2-10.

Installation 2-11
2.5 RF Connections
Connect the RF load, an antenna or the input of an external power amplifier, to the type-N,
RF output connector on the rear panel. VSWR should be 1.5:1 or better.
The RF monitor is intended primarily for a modulation monitor connection. Information

gained through this connection can supplement that which is available on the transmitter
front panel displays.
If your transmitter is equipped with the receiver option, connect the incoming RF to the RF
IN connector.
Illustration 213 RF Connections

2.6 Audio Input Connections
Attach audio inputs to the Left and Right XLR connectors on the rear panel. (The Left
channel audio is used on Mono.) Pin 1 of the XLR connector goes to chassis ground. Pins 2
and 3 represent a balanced differential input with an impedance of about 50 k . They may
be connected to balanced or unbalanced left and right program sources.
The audio input cables should be shielded pairs, whether the source is balanced or unbal-
anced. For an unbalanced program source, one line (preferably the one connecting to pin 3)
should be grounded to the shield at the source. Audio will then connect to the line going to
pin 2.
Illustration 214 XLR Audio Input Connectors
By bringing the audio return line back to the program source, the balanced differential input
of the transmitter is used to best advantage to minimize noise. This practice is especially
helpful if the program lines are fairly long, but is a good practice for any distance.
If the program source requires a 600 termination, see the motherboard configuration chart
on page 4-9 for the proper configuration of the jumpers.
Installation 2-13
2.7 SCA Input Connections
You can connect external SCA generators to the SCA In connectors (BNC-type) on the rear
panel. The inputs are intended for the 60 kHz to 99 kHz range, but a lower frequency may
be used if the transmitter is operated in Mono mode. (The 23 to 53 kHz band is used for ste-
reo transmission.) For 7.5 kHz deviation (10% modulation), input of approximately 3.5volts
(peak-to-peak) is required.
Illustration 215 SCA Input Connectors
2.8 Composite Input Connection

You may feed composite stereo (or mono audio) directly to the RF exciter bypassing the in-
ternal audio processor and stereo generator. To use the Crown transmitter as an RF Exciter
only ("E" version or when using the "T" version with composite input), it is necessary to use
the Composite Input section of the transmitter. This will feed composite stereo (or mono au-
dio) directly to the RF exciter. In the "T" version, this will bypass the internal audio proces-
sor and stereo generator.
Input sensitivity is approximately 3.5volt P-P for 75 kHz deviation.
1. Enable the Composite Input by grounding pin 14 of the Remote I/O connector
(see Illustration 218).
2. Connect the composite signal using the Composite In BNC connector.

Illustration 216 Composite In and Audio Monitor Connections
2.9 Audio Monitor Connections

Processed, de-emphasized samples of the left and right audio inputs to the stereo genera-
tor are available at the Monitor jacks on the rear panel. The signals are suitable for feeding
a studio monitor and for doing audio testing. De-emphasis is normally set for 75 sec; set to
50 sec by moving jumpers, HD201 and HD202, on the Audio Processor/Stereo Generator
board.
2.10 Pre-emphasis Selection

Select the pre-emphasis curve (75 sec, 50 sec, 25 sec, or Flat) by jumpering the appro-
priate pins of header HD1 on the Audio Processor/Stereo Generator board. If you change
the pre-emphasis, change the de-emphasis jumpers HD201 and HD202 on the Audio Proc-
essor/Stereo Generator board to match.
Installation 2-15
2.11 Program Input Fault Time-out
You can enable an automatic turn-off of the carrier in the event of program failure. To en-
able this option, see illustration 2-18 on page 2-16. The time between program failure and
carrier turn-off is set by a jumper (JP1) on the voltage regulator board (see page 614 for
board location). Jumper pins 1 and 2 (the two pins closest to the edge of the board) for a
delay of approximately 30 seconds; pins 3 and 4 for a 2minute delay; pins 5 and 6 for a 4
minute delay, and pins 7 and 8 for an 8 minute delay.
2.12 Remote I/O Connector

Remote control and remote metering of the transmitter is made possible through a 25pin,
D-sub connector on the rear panel. (No connections are required for normal operation.)

3. Verify the following:
A. The bottom cooling fan runs continuously.
B. The Lock Fault indicator flashes for approximately 5 seconds, then goes off.
4. Set the Input Gain switches for mid-scale wideband gain reduction on an average

300330 watts for the FM300.
B. SWR should be less than 1.1. (A reading greater than 1.25 indicates an antenna
mismatch.
C. ALC should be between 4.00 and 6.00 volts.
D. PA DC Volts should be 2630 volts for the FM30, 2535 volts for the FM150, and
3752 volts for the FM300. (Varies with antenna match, power, and frequency.)
E. PA DC Amperes should be 1.52.5 amps for the FM30, 5.57.5 amps for the
FM150, and 7.09.0 amps for the FM300. (Varies with antenna match, power, and
frequency.)
F. PA Temperature should initially read 2035 degrees C (room temperature). After

one hour the reading should be 3550 degrees C.
G. Supply DC Volts should display a typical reading of 45 V with the carrier on and 50 V
with the carrier off for both the FM30 and FM150 products. For the FM300, the
readings should be 65 V with the carrier on and 75 V with carrier off.
H. Voltmeter should be reading 0.0.
The remainder of this section describes the functions of the front panel indicators
and switches.
Operation 3-3
3.2 Power Switches
3.2.1 DC Breaker
The DC breaker, on the rear panel, must be on (up) for transmitter operation, even when
using AC power. Electrically, the DC breaker is located immediately after diodes which iso-
late the DC and AC power supplies.
3.2.2 Power Switch
The main on/off power switch controls both the 120/240 VAC and the DC battery power in-
put.
3.2.3 Carrier Switch
This switch controls power to the RF amplifiers and supplies a logic high to the voltage
regulator board, which enables the supply for the RF driver. In addition, the Carrier Switch
controls the operating voltage needed by the switching power regulator.
A "Lock Fault" or a low pin 17 (/Carrier Off) on the Remote I/O connector will hold the carrier
off. (See section 2.12.)
Carrier Switch
Illustration 33 Front Panel Carrier Switch

3.3 Front Panel Bar-Dot Displays
Bar-dot LEDs show audio input levels, wideband and highband audio gain control, and
modulation percentage. Resolution for the gain control and modulation displays is increased
over a conventional bar-graph display using dither enhancement which modulates the
brightness of the LED to give the effect of a fade from dot to dot. (See section 4.7.)
3.3.1 Audio Processor Input
Two vertical, moving-dot displays for the left and right channels indicate the relative audio
levels, in 3 dB steps, at the input of the audio processor. Under normal operating conditions,
the left and right Audio Processor indicators will be active, indicating the relative audio input
level after the Input Gain switches. During program pauses, the red Low LED will light.
The translator configuration shows relative audio levels from the included receiver.
3.3.2 Highband and Wideband Display
During audio processing, the moving-dot displays indicate the amount of gain control for
broadband (Wide) and pre-emphasized (High) audio.
As long as program material causes activity of the Wideband green indicators, determined
by the program source level and Input Gain switches, the transmitter will be fully modulated.
(See section 3.4.)
The Wideband indicator shows short-term syllabic-rate expansion and gain reduction
around a long-term (several seconds) average gain set. In the translator configuration, the
Wideband indicator also shows relative RF signal strength.
Program material and the setting of the Processing control determine the magnitude of the
short-term expansion and compression (the rapid left and right movement of the green
light).
High-frequency program content affects the activity of the Highband indicator. With 75sec
pre-emphasis, Highband processing begins at about 2 kHz and increases as the audio fre-
quency increases. Some programs, especially speech, may show no activity while some
music programs may show a great deal of activity.
3.3.3 Modulation Display
A 10segment, vertical peak-and-hold, bar graph displays the peak modulation percentage.
A reading of 100 coincides with 75 kHz deviation. The display holds briefly (about 0.1 sec-
onds) after the peak. The Pilot indicator illuminates when the transmitter is in the stereo
mode.
To verify the actual (or more precise) modulation percentage, connect a certified modulation
monitor to the RF monitor jack on the rear panel.
Operation 3-5
3.4 Input Gain Switches
The +6 dB and +12 dB slide switches set audio input sensitivity according to the
following table.
Normal Input Switches

Sensitivity +6dB +12dB
+10dBm Down Down

+4dBm Up Down
-2dBm Down Up
-8dBm Up Up
Illustration 34 Input Gain Switches
Find, experimentally, the combination of Input Gain switch settings that will bring the
Wideband gain-reduction indicator to mid scale for normal level program material. The
audio processor will accommodate a fairly wide range of input levels with no degradation
of audio quality.
3.5 Processing Control

Two factors contribute to the setting of the Processing control: program material and
personal taste. For most program material, a setting in the range of 40 to 70 provides good
program density. For the classical music purist, who might prefer preservation of music
dynamics over density, 10 to 40 is a good range. The audio will be heavily processed in
the 70 to 100 range.
If the program source is already well processed, as might be the case with a satellite feed,
set the Processing to 0 or 10.
3.6 Stereo-Mono Switch

The Stereo-Mono slide switch selects the transmission mode. In Mono, feed audio only to
the left channel. Although right-channel audio will not be heard as audio modulation, it will
affect the audio processing.

3.7 RF Output Control
Set this control for the desired output power level. Preferably, set the power with an external
RF wattmeter connected in the coaxial line to the antenna. You may also use the RF power
reading on the digital multimeter.
The control sets the RF output voltage. Actual RF output power varies as the approximate
square of the relative setting of the control. For example, a setting of 50 is approximately
1/4 full power.
3.8 Digital Multimeter

The four-digit numeric display in the center of the front panel provides information on trans-
mitter operation. Use the Up and down push-buttons to select one of the following pa-
rameters. A green LED indicates the one selected.
Illustration 35 Digital Multimeter
RF PowerActually reads RF voltage squared, so the accuracy can be affected by VSWR

(RF voltage-to-current ratio). See section 5.4 for calibration. Requires calibration with the
RF reflectometer being used.
SWRDirect reading of the antenna standing-wave ratio (the ratio of the desired load im-
pedance, 50 ohms, to actual load).
ALCDC gain control bias used to regulate PA supply voltage. With the PA power supply
at full output voltage, ALC will read about 6.0 volts. When the RF output is being regulated
by the RF power control circuit, this voltage will be reduced, typically reading 4 to 5.5 volts.
The ALC voltage will be reduced during PA DC overcurrent, SWR, or LOCK fault conditions.
Operation 3-7
PA DC VoltsSupply voltage of the RF power amplifier.
PA DC AmpsTransistor drain current for the RF power amplifier.
PA DC TemperatureTemperature of the RF power amplifier heatsink in degrees C.
Supply DC VoltsUnregulated DC voltage at the input of the voltage regulators. For battery
operation, this reading is the battery voltage minus a diode drop.
VoltmeterReads the voltage at a test point located on the front edge of the motherboard.
A test lead connected to this point can be used for making voltage measurements in the
transmitter. The test point is intended as a servicing aid; an alternative to an external test
meter. Remember that the accuracy is only as good as the reference voltage used by the
metering circuit. Servicing a fault affected by the reference affects the Voltmeter reading.
The metering scale is 0 to 199.9 volts.
In the translator configuration, you can read a relative indication of RF signal strength nu-
merically in the Voltmeter setting.
3.9 Fault Indicators

Faults are indicated by a blinking red light as follows:
SWRLoad VSWR exceeds 1.5:1. ALC voltage is reduced to limit the reflected RF power.
LockFrequency synthesizer phase-lock loop is unlocked. This indicator normally blinks for
about five seconds at power turn-on. Whenever this light is blinking, supply voltages will be
inhibited for the RF driver stage as well as for the RF power amplifier.
InputThe automatic carrier-off circuit is enabled (see sections 2.11 and 2.12) and the ab-
sence of a program input signal has exceeded the preset time. (The circuit treats white or
pink noise as an absence of a program.)
PA DCPower supply current for the RF power output amplifier is at the preset limit. ALC
voltage has been reduced, reducing the PA supply voltage to hold supply current to the pre-
set limit.
PA TempPA heatsink temperature has reached 50 C (122 F) for the FM30 and 80 C
(176 F) for the FM150 and FM300.
At about 55 C (131F) for the FM30 or 82C (180 F) for the FM150 and FM300, ALC volt-
age begins to decrease, reducing the PA supply voltage to prevent a further increase in
temperature. By 60 C (140 F) for the FM50 and 85 C (185 F) for the FM150 and FM300,
the PA will be fully cut off. The heatsink fan (models FM150and FM300 only) is proportion-
ally controlled to hold the heatsink at 35 C (95 F). Above this temperature, the fan runs at
full speed.

Section 4Principles of Operation
This section discusses the circuit principles upon which the transmitter
functions. This information is not needed for day-to-day operation of the
transmitter but may be useful for advanced users and service person-
nel.
Principles of Operation 4-1

4.1 Part Numbering
As this section refers to individual components, you should be familiar with the part number-
ing scheme used.
The circuit boards and component placement drawings use designators such as R1, R2,
and C1. These same designators are used throughout the transmitter on several different
circuit boards and component placement drawings. When referencing a particular compo-
nent it is necessary to also reference the circuit board that it is associated with.

4.2 Audio Processor/Stereo Generator Circuit Board
The audio board provides the control functions of audio processing-compression, limiting,
and expansion, as well as stereo phase-error detection, pre-emphasis and generation of the
composite stereo signal.
Illustration 6-4 and accompanying schematic may be useful to you during this discussion.
The overall schematic for the audio board is divided into two sheets; one each for the proc-
essor and stereo generator sections of the board.
Reference numbers are for the left channel. Where there is a right-channel counterpart, ref-
erence number are in parenthesis.
Illustration 41 Audio Processor/Stereo Generator Board
4.2.1 Audio Processor Section
Audio input from the XLR connector on the rear panel of the transmitter goes to instrument
amplifier, U2 (U8). Two-bit binary data on the +6 dB and +12 dB control lines sets the gain
of U2 (U8) to one of four levels in 6-dB steps. Gain of U2 is determined by R5, R6, or R7
(R45, R46, or R47) as selected by analog switch U1.
U3 (U9) is a THAT2180 voltage-controlled amplifier with a control-voltage-to-gain constant

of 6.1 mV/dB. The 2180 is a current-in/current-out device, so signal voltages at the input
and output will be zero. R11 converts the audio voltage at the output of U2 (U8) to current at
the input of U3 (U9). U3 (U9) output current is converted to audio voltage by U4A (U10A).
U4B (U10B) is a unity-gain inverter. When the positive peaks at the output of U4A (U10A) or
U4B (U10B) exceeds the gain-reduction threshold, U15 generates a 0.25 Volts-per-dB DC
control bias, producing wide-band gain reduction for U3 (U9). The dB-linear allows a front-
panel display of gain control on a linear scale with even distribution of dB.

Q1 (Q2) is a recover/expansion gate with a threshold about 18 dB below the normal pro-
gram level. The amount of short-term expansion and time for gain recovery is controlled by
the PROCESSING control, located on the front panel display board. (See section 3.5.)
Audio components above 15,200 Hz are greatly attenuated by eighth-order switched-

capacitor elliptical filter, U5 (U11). The filter cut-off frequency is determined by a 1.52-MHz
clock (100 x 15,200 Hz) signal from the stereo generator section of the board. The broad-
band signal level at the output of U5 (U11) is about 5 dB below that required for full modula-
tion. (With normal program material, the 5 dB of headroom will be filled with pre-
emphasized audio.)
Pre-emphasis in microseconds is the product of the capacitance of C7 (C17), multiplied by

the current-gain of U6 (U12), times the value of R22 (R62). (For description of the device
used for U6 (12), see explanation for U3 (U9) above.) For a 75 micro-seconds pre-
emphasis, the gain of U6 (U12) will be about 1.11.
Selection of the pre-emphasis curve (75 S, 50 S, or Flat) is made by moving the jumper
on HD1 to the pins designated on the board. Fine adjustment of the pre-emphasis is made
with R23 (R63). (See section 5.1.)
For high-band processing, the peak output of U7A (U13A) and U7B (U13B) is detected and
gain-reduction bias is generated, as with the broadband processor. The high-band process-
ing, however, shifts the pre-emphasis curve rather than affecting overall gain. Peak audio
voltages are compared to plus and minus 5-volt reference voltages at the outputs of U19A
and U19B. This same reference voltage is used in the stereo generator section.
A stereo phasing error occurs when left and right inputs are of equal amplitude but opposite
polarity. The most common cause is incorrect wiring of a left or right balanced audio line
somewhere in the program chain-sometimes at the source of a recording. When this hap-
pens, all the audio is in the left-minus-right stereo subcarrier-none in the left-plus-right base-
band. The error can go unnoticed by one listening on a stereo receiver, but the audio may
disappear on a mono receiver. In normal programming there may be short-term polarity re-
versals of left versus right, either incidental or-for effect-intentional. A phase error of several
seconds duration is processed by U14A and U14B and interpreted as a real error. During a
phasing error the right-channel level is gradually reduced by 6 dB. For a listener to a stereo
radio, the right-channel volume will be lower, while on a mono receiver there will be a reduc-
tion of volume.
NORMAL/TEST switch. In the TEST position, the stage gains are set to a fixed level. See
section 6.2
4.2.2 Stereo Generator Section
Composite stereo signal is generated from left and right-channel audio inputs. This section
also has the amplifier (U201) for an optional external composite input and provision for in-
sertion of SCA signal(s).

Processed, pre-emphasized left and right audio is passed through third-order lowpass filters
comprised of U202A (203A) and associated circuitry. The filters decrease the level of audio
products below 30 Hz. This low-frequency roll off is necessary to prevent disturbance to the
phase-lock loop in the RF frequency synthesizer by extremely low-frequency audio compo-
nents. (See caution at section 2.8.)
U204 is a precision, four-quadrant, analog multiplier. The output of U204 is the product of
38 kHz applied to the Y input and the difference of left and right audio (L-R signal) applied
to the X input. The resulting output is a double sideband, suppressed carrier/the L-R sub-
carrier.
Spectral purity of the stereo subcarrier is dependant on a pure 38-kHz sinewave at the mul-
tiplier input.
U207A and Y201 comprise a 7.6-MHz crystal oscillator from which the 19 and 38-kHz sub-
carriers are digitally synthesized. U207F is a buffer. The 7.6 MHz is divided by 5 in U208A
to provide 1.52 Mhz, used by switched-capacitor filters U5 and U11 in the audio section.
3.8 MHz, 1.9 MHz, and 304 kHz are also derived from dividers in U208. Exclusive-OR
gates, U210C and U210D, provide a stepped approximation of a 38-kHz sine wave. With
the resistor ratios used, the synthesized sine wave has very little harmonic energy below
the 7th harmonic. U210A and B generate the 19-kHz pilot subcarrier. U211 is a dual
switched-capacitor filter, configured as second-order, low-pass filters, each one with a Q of
5. The 38 and 19-kHz outputs of pins 1 and 20, respectively, are fairly pure sine waves.
Harmonic distortion products are better than 66 dB down-with a THD of less than 0.05%.
SEPARATION control R244 sets the 38-kHz level at the Y input of U204.
Resistor matrix R219, R220, R221, and R223 sum the L+R audio with the L-R subcarrier to
produce a current at the junction of R221 and R223 that will be converted to composite ste-
reo (less pilot) at the output of summing amplifier U206A. SCA signal is also injected at the
input of U206A. 19-kHz pilot is combined with composite stereo in summing amplifier
U206B.
Analog switch U205, at the input of U206A, provides switching of left and right audio for ste-
reo and mono modes. In the mono mode, right channel audio is disabled, and the left chan-
nel audio is increased from 45% modulation to 100%.
MON L and MON R outputs go to the AF Monitor jacks on the rear panel. R209+R210
(R214+R215) and C207 (C210) is a de-emphasis network. Processed, de-emphasized
samples of the left and right audio are used for a studio monitor and for audio testing.
Jumpers at HD201 (HD202) allow selection of 50-sec or 75-sec de-emphasis.
VR212A and B supply +7 volts and -7 volts, respectively. A 5-volt reference from the audio
processor section supplies the subcarrier generators.
For an explanation of on-board adjustments see section 5.2.

4.3 RF Exciter Circuit
This circuit is also known as the Frequency Synthesizer. The Frequency Synthesizer part of
the motherboard is no longer a separate module as was the case on older transmitters.The
entire component side of the motherboard is a ground plane. Frequency selector switches
located on the front panel of the transmitter establish the operating frequency. The VCO
(voltage-controlled oscillator) circuitry is inside an aluminum case.
Illustration 6-6 and accompanying schematics can be used as reference in this

discussion.
VCO1 operates at the synthesizer output frequency of 87 MHz to 108 MHz.

The frequency is controlled by a voltage applied to pin 8 of the VCO.
A sample of the RF comes from A2 and is fed to the PLL chip U13.
U13 is a phase-locked-loop frequency synthesizer IC. The 10.24 MHz from the
crystal oscillator is divided to 10 kHz. Internal programmable dividers divide the
87 - 108 MHz RF to 10 kHz. Differences between the two signals produce error signals at
pins 7 and 8 of U14.
Exciter Section
Illustration 42 Motherboard (Exciter Section)
Frequency selector switches are read by shift registers U17 and U18. Data from the shift
registers is read by U16 which then programs the PLL (Phase Lock Loop) IC U13.
U14B is a differential amplifier and filter for the error signal. Audio that is out of phase with
that appearing on the error voltage is introduced by U14A., allowing for greater loop band-
width with less degradation of the low frequency audio response.
Lock and unlock status signals are available at the outputs of U15E and U15F respectively.
Modulation is introduced to the VCO though R72 and R122.

4.5 Metering Circuit
The ALC and metering circuitry is on the motherboard (see Illustration 66). This circuit
processes information for the RF and DC metering, and produces ALC (RF level-control)
bias. It also provides reference and input voltages for the digital panel meter, voltages for
remote metering, fan control, and drive for the front-panel fault indicators.
Illustration 66 and accompanying schematics complement this discussion.
PA voltage and current come from a metering shunt on the power regulator board. The PAI
input is a current proportional to PA current; R153 converts the current to voltage used for
metering and control. A voltage divider from the PAV line is used for DC voltage metering.
Metering Section
Illustration 43 Metering Circuit
U23A, U23B, and U24A, with their respective diodes, are diode linearity correction circuits.
Their DC inputs come from diode detectors in the RF reflectometer in the RF low-pass filter
compartment.
U24B, U24C, are components of a DC squaring circuit. Since the DC output voltage of
U24C is proportional to RF voltage squared, it is also proportional to RF power.
U22C, U22A, U20A, and U22D are level sensors for RF power, reflected RF power, PA
temperature, and external PA current, respectively. When either of these parameters ex-
ceeds the limits, the output of U22B will be forced low, reducing the ALC (RF level control)
voltage, which, in turn, reduces the PA supply voltage.
The DC voltage set point for U22A (reflected RF voltage) is one-fifth that of U22C (forward
RF voltage). This ratio corresponds to an SWR of 1.5:1 [(1+.2)/(1 .2)=1.5]. The U25 invert-
ers drive the front panel fault indicators.

4.6 Motherboard
The motherboard is the large board in the upper chassis interconnecting the audio proces-
sor/stereo generator board or the optional receiver module or the Omnia digital audio proc-
essor to the RF exciter and metering circuits. The motherboard provides the interconnec-
tions for this boards, eliminating the need for a wiring harness, and provides input/output fil-
tering. The RF exciter and Metering circuits are an integral part of the motherboard and are
no longer separate boards as in past transmitter designs.
Also contained on the motherboard is the +5.00 volt reference and the composite drive Op
amp and its associated circuitry.
The motherboard has configuration jumpers associated with different options that can be
added at the time of order or at a later time as an upgrade. The motherboard configuration
chart for these jumpers can be found on the following page.

4.7 Display Circuit Board
The front-panel LEDs, the numeric display, the slide switches, and the processing and RF
level controls are mounted on the display circuit board. To access the component side of
the board, remove the front panel by removing 12 screws. The board contains circuits for
the digital panel meter, modulation peak detector, and LED display drivers, as well as indi-
cators and switches mentioned above.
Illustration 69 and accompanying schematic complement this discussion.
Left and right audio from input stages of the audio processor board (just after the Input Gain
attenuator) go to the L VU and R VU input on the display board. Peak rectifiers U1A and
U1B drive the left and right Audio Input displays. The LED driver gives a 3dB per step dis-
play. The lowest step of the display driver is not used; rather a red LOW indicator lights
when audio is below the level of the second step. Transistors Q1 and Q2 divert current from
the LOW LEDs when any other LED of the display is lit.
Resolution of the linear displays, High Band, Wide Band, and Modulation, has been im-
proved using dither enhancement. With dither, the brightness of the LED is controlled by
proximity of the input voltage relative to its voltage threshold. The effect is a smooth transi-
tion from step to step as input voltage is changed. U6A, U6B, and associated components
comprise the dither generator. Dither output is a triangular wave.
Composite stereo (or mono) is full-wave detected by diodes D5 and D6, U7, U13, Q3, and
Q4 are components of a peak sample-and-hold circuit.
Oscillator, U9F, supplies a low-frequency square wave to the Fault indicators, causing them
to flash on and off.
Digital multimeter inputs are selected with push buttons located to the right of the multimeter
menu. Signals from the push buttons are conditioned by U9A and U9B. U10 is an up/down
counter. Binary input to U11 from U10 selects a green menu indicator light, and lights the
appropriate decimal point on the numeric readout. The binary lines also go to analog data
selectors on the ALC/ metering board.
Processing control, R50, is part of the audio processor. (See section 4.2.)
The DPM IN and DPM REF lines are analog and reference voltage inputs to digital multime-
ter IC U12. They originate from analog data selectors on the ALC/ metering board.

4.8 Voltage Regulator Circuit Board
The voltage regulator board is the longer of two boards mounted under the chassis toward
the front of the unit. It has switch-mode voltage regulators to provide +12, 12, and 20 volts.
It also contains the program detection and automatic carrier control circuits.
U3E and U3F convert a 38kHz sine wave from the stereo generator into a synchronization
pulse. In the transmitter, synchronization is not used, thus D9 is omitted.
U4 and U5 form a 20volt switching regulator running at about 35 kHz. U4 is used as a

pulse-width modulator; U5 is a high-side driver for MOSFET switch Q1. Supply voltage for
the two ICs (approximately 15.5 volts) comes from linear regulator DZ2/Q5. Bootstrap volt-
age, provided by D10 and C14, allows the gate voltage of Q1 to swing about 15 volts above
the source when Q1 is turned on. Current through the FET is sensed by R38 and R38A. If
the voltage between pin 5 and 6 of U05 exceeds 0.23 volts on a current fault, drive to Q1 is
turned off. Turn-off happens cycle by cycle. The speed of the turn-off is set by C13.
U6 is a switching regulator for both +12 volts and 12 volts. It runs at about 52 kHz. Energy
for 12 volts is taken from inductor L2 during the off portion of the switching cycle. The 12
volts tracks the +12 volts within a few tenths of a volt. There will be no 12 volts until current
is drawn from the +12 volts.
Q2, Q3, and Q4 form an active filter and switch, supplying DC voltage to the RF driver,
when the Carrier switch is on.
The program detection circuit is made up of U1 and U2. U1A and U1D and associated cir-
cuitry discriminate between normal program material and white noise (such as might be pre-
sent from a studio-transmitter link during program failure) or silence. U1A and surrounding
components form a band-pass filter with a Q of 3 tuned to about 5 kHz. U1D is a first-order
low-pass filter. Red and green LEDs on the board indicate the presence or absence of pro-
gram determined by the balance of the detected signals from the two filters. U2 and U1C
form a count-down timer. The time between a program fault and shutdown is selected by
jumpering pins on header JP1. For times, see section 5.7. The times are proportional to the
value of R21 (that is, times can be doubled by doubling the value of R21) and are listed in
minutes.

4.9 Power Regulator Circuit Board
The power regulator board is the shorter of two boards mounted under the chassis toward
the front of the unit. The board has the isolating diode for the battery input, the switch-mode
voltage regulator for the RF power amplifier, and circuitry for PA supply current metering.
Diode D4, in series with the battery input, together with the AC-supply diode bridge, pro-
vides diode OR-ing of the AC and DC supplies.
U1 and U2 form a switching regulator running at about 35 kHz. U1 is used as a pulse-width

modulator; U2 is a high-side driver for MOSFET switch Q1. Power for the two ICs comes
from the 20volt supply voltage for the RF driver (available when the Carrier switch is on).
The voltage is controlled at 16 volts by zener diode DZ1. Bootstrap voltage provided by D2
and C9 allows the gate voltage of Q1 to swing about 16 volts above the source when Q1 is
turned on. Current through the FET is sensed by R12A and R12B. If the voltage from pin 5
to 6 of U2 exceeds 0.23 volts on a current fault, drive to Q1 is turned off. This happens on a
cycle-by-cycle basis. The speed of the turnoff is set by C5.
U3 and Q2 are used in a circuit to convert the current that flows through metering shunt,
R19, into a current source at the collector of Q3. Forty milli-volts is developed across R19
for each amp of supply current (.04 ohms x 1 amp). Q3 is biased by U3 to produce the
same voltage across R16. The collector current of Q3 is the same (minus base current) as
that flowing through R22 resulting in 40 microamperes per amp of shunt current. R5 on the
metering board converts Q3 collector current to 0.1 volt per amp of shunt current (.04 ma X
2.49 k). (See section 5.4.)
4.10 RF Driver/Amplifier (FM30)

The RF Driver/Amplifier assembly is mounted on a 100 mm x 100 mm plate in the under
side of the chassis.
Illustration 6-14 and accompanying schematic complement this discussion.
The driver amplifies the approximate 20 milliwatts from the frequency synthesizer to 30
watts. An MHW6342T hybrid, high-gain, wideband amplifier, operating at about 20 volts,
provides about one watt of drive to a single BLF246 MOSFET amplifier. The BLF245 stage
operates from a supply voltage of 28 volts in the FM30.
The circuit board has components for input and output coupling and for power supply filter-
ing.

4.11 RF Driver (FM150/FM300)
The RF Driver assembly is mounted on a 100 mm x 100 mm plate in the under side of the
chassis.
The driver amplifies the approximate 20 milliwatts from the frequency synthesizer to about 8
watts to drive the RF power amplifier. An MHW6342T hybrid, high-gain, wideband amplifier,
operating at about 20 volts, provides about one watt of drive to a single BLF245 MOSFET
amplifier. The BLF245 stage operates from a supply voltage of approximately 20 volts.
The circuit board provides for input/output coupling and for power supply filtering.
4.12 RF Amplifier (FM150/FM300)

The RF power amplifier assembly is mounted on back of the chassis with four screws, lo-
cated behind an outer cover plate. Access the connections to the module by removing the
bottom cover of the unit. The RF connections to the amplifier are BNC for the input and out-
put. Power comes into the module through a 5pin header connection next to the RF input
jack.
The amplifier is built around a ST MicroElectronics SD2942, a dual power MOSFET rated
for 50 volts DC and a maximum power of about 350 watts. When biased for class B, the
transistor has a power gain of about 20 dB. (It is biased below class B in the transmitter.)
Input transformer, T11, is made up of two printed circuit boards. The four-turn primary board
is separated from the one-turn secondary by a thin dielectric film. R12R17 are for damp-
ing. Trim pot R11 sets the bias.
Output transformer, T21, has a one-turn primary on top of the circuit board and a two-turn
secondary underneath. Inductors L21 and L22 provide power line filtering.

4.13 Chassis
The AC power supply components, as well as the bridge rectifier and main filter capacitor,
are mounted on the chassis. Switching in the power-entry module configures the power
transformer for 100, 120, 220, or 240 VAC; see section 2.2 for switching and fuse informa-
tion. A terminal strip with MOV voltage-surge suppressors and in-rush current limiters is
mounted on the chassis between the power entry module and the toroidal power trans-
former.
The main energy-storage/filter capacitor, C01, is located between the voltage and power
regulator boards. The DC voltage across the capacitor will be 4555 volts (FM30 and
FM150) or 6570 volts (FM300) when the carrier is on.
4.14 RF Output Filter & Reflectometer

The RF low-pass filter/reflectometer are located in the right-hand compartment on the top of
the chassis. See Illustration 613 and accompanying schematic for more information.
A ninth-order, elliptic, low-pass filter attenuates harmonics generated in the power amplifier.
The capacitors for the filter are circuit board pads.
The reflectometer uses printed circuit board traces for micro-strip transmission lines. Trans-
mission line segments (with an impedance of about 82 ohms) on either side of a 50ohm
conductor provide sample voltages representative of the square root of forward and reverse
power.
DC voltages, representative of forward and reflected power, go through a bulkhead filter

board to the motherboard, then to the metering board, where they are processed for power
control and metering and for SWR metering and protection.

4.15 Receiver Circuit Board Option
This option allows the transmitter to be used as a translator. The receiver board receives
terrestrially fed RF signal and converts it to composite audio which is then fed into the ex-
citer board. Microprocessor controlled phase lock loop technology ensures the received fre-
quency will not drift, and multiple IF stages ensure high adjacent channel rejection. Refer to
illustrations 46, 616 and its schematic for the following discussion.
The square shaped metal can located on the left side of the receiver board is the tuner
module. The incoming RF signal enters through the BNC connector (top left corner) and is
tuned through the tuner module. Input attenuation is possible with the jumper labeled LO
DX, on the top left corner of the receiver board. Very strong signals can be attenuated 20
dB automatically by placing the jumper on the left two pins (LO position). An additional 20
dB attenuation is also available with the jumpers in the top left corner of the board. The fre-
quencies are tuned by setting switches SW1 and SW2 (upper right corner). These two
switches are read upon power up (or by momentarily shorting J7) by the microprocessor
(U4). The microprocessor then tunes the tuner module to the selected frequency. The fre-
quency range is 87.9 Mhz at setting 00 to 107.9 Mhz at setting 64. Other custom ranges
are available.
Located in the lower left-hand corner of the Receiver Module is a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Demodulated Left and Right audio is present at this jack. A regular pair of 32 ohm stereo
headphones, such as the types used with portable audio devices, can be used to monitor
the audio on the receiver module.
Receiver
Module
Illustration 45 Receiver Module

When a stereo signal is present, LED 3 illuminates which indicates that left and right audio
is available. Then the stereo signals go to gain stages and out to the RCA jacks on the back
of the cabinet. These can be used for off-air monitoring of the audio signal. Incoming fre-
quency can be monitored from the frequency monitor BNC jack on the back. The stereo
buffer, stereo decoder, and gain stages and have no effect on the signal that goes through
the transmitter.
The power supply is fairly straight forward. The incoming 12 volt supply goes to a 7809, 9
volt regulator (VR1) which supplies all 9volt needs on the board. The 9 volts also supplies
a 7805, 5 volt regulator (VR2) which supplies all 5volt needs on the board. Plus and minus
12 volts from the motherboard is filtered and supplies various needs on the board. Finally
there is a precision reference voltage. Two 2.5 volt reference shunts act very much like a
very accurate zener diode to provide a precision 5 volt supply to the metering board.

Section 5Adjustments and Tests
This section describes procedures for (1) advanced users who may be
interested in customizing or optimizing the performance of the transmit-
ter and (2) service personnel who want to return the transmitter to op-
erational status following a maintenance procedure.
Adjustments and Tests 5-1

5.1 Audio Processor Adjustments
5.1.1 Pre-Emphasis Selection
Select the pre-emphasis curve (75 sec, 50 sec, 25 sec, or Flat) by jumpering the appro-
priate pins of header HD1 on the audio processor/stereo generator board. (See section 2.9.)
If you change the pre-emphasis, change the de-emphasis jumpers, HD201 and HD202 on
the audio processor/stereo generator board, to match. (See section 2.8.)
5.1.2 Pre-Emphasis Fine Adjustment
Trim potentiometers, R23 and R63, (for left and right channels, respectively) provide for fine
adjustment of the pre-emphasis. Set the potentiometers to bring the de-emphasized gain at
10 kHz equal to that of 400 Hz. (At the proper setting, 15.0 kHz will be down about 0.7 dB.)
When making these adjustments, it is important that you keep signal levels below the proc-
essor gain-control threshold.
A preferred method is to use a precision de-emphasis network in front of the audio input.
Then, use the non-de-emphasized (flat) output from the FM modulation monitor for meas-
urements.
5.2 Stereo Generator Adjustments
5.2.1 Separation
Feed a 400Hz sine wave into one channel for at least 70% modulation. Observe the clas-
sic single-channel composite stereo waveform at TP301 on the RF Exciter circuit board. Ad-
just the Separation control R244 for a straight centerline.
Since proper adjustment of this control coincides with best stereo separation, use an FM
monitor to make or confirm the adjustment.

5.2.2 Composite Output
You can make adjustments to the composite output in the following manner:
Using a Modulation Monitor
1. Set the Stereo-Mono switch to Mono.
2. Check that the setting of the Modulation compensation control (see illustration 29) on
the RF Exciter circuit , falls within the range specified for the frequency of operation.
(See section 2.3.1.)
3. Feed a sine wave signal of about 2.5 kHz into the left channel at a level sufficient to put
the wideband gain-reduction indicator somewhere in the middle of its range.
4. Set the Composite level control to produce 90% modulation as indicated on an FM

monitor.
5. Apply pink noise or program material to the audio inputs and confirm, on both Mono and
Stereo, that modulation peaks are between 95% and 100%.
5.2.3 19kHz Level
Adjust the 19kHz pilot for 9% modulation as indicated on an FM modulation monitor.

(The composite output should be set first, since it follows the 19kHz Level control.)
5.2.4 19kHz Phase
1. Apply a 400Hz audio signal to the left channel for at least 70% modulation.
2. Look at the composite stereo signal at TP301 on the RF Exciter circuit board with an os-
cilloscope, expanding the display to view the 19kHz component on the horizontal cen-
terline.
3. Switch the audio to the right-channel input. When the 19kHz Phase is properly ad-
justed, the amplitude of the 19kHz will remain constant when switching between left
and right.
4. Recheck the separation adjustment as described in section 5.2.1.
5.3 Frequency Synthesizer Adjustments
5.3.1 Frequency (Channel) Selection
Refer to section 2.3.

5.3.2 Modulation Compensator
Refer to section 2.3.1
5.3.3 Frequency Measurement and Adjustment
Next to the 10.24MHz VCXO in the RF Exciter circuit on the motherboard, is a 50K potenti-
ometer (R101). Use R101 to set the frequency of the 10.24MHz VCXO while observing the
output frequency of the synthesizer.
Use one of two methods for checking frequency:
1. Use an FM frequency monitor.
2. Couple a frequency counter of known accuracy to the output of the synthesizer and ob-
serve the operating frequency.
5.3.4 FSK Frequency Offset Control
An FSK signal (used for automatic identification of FM repeaters) shifts the frequencies of
the 10.24MHz VCXO reference oscillator and the VCO.
Ground pin 4 on the DB25 connector located on the back panel of the transmitter. This will
shift the operating frequency. Adjust R224 for an offset of the operating frequency of about
6 kHz. Un-grounding pin 4 will cause the operating frequency to return to normal.
Use one of two methods for checking frequency:
1. Use an FM frequency monitor.
2. Couple a frequency counter of known accuracy to the output of the synthesizer and ob-
serve the operating frequency.
5.4 Metering Adjustments
5.4.1 Power Calibrate
While looking at RF Power on the digital panel meter, set the Power Calibrate trim potenti-
ometer (R215) to agree with an external RF power meter.
5.4.2 Power Set
With the front panel RF Output control fully clockwise, adjust the Power Set trim pot (R55)
to 10% more than the rated power (33 W for FM30, 165 W for FM150, 330 W for FM300) as
indicated on an accurate external watt meter. If the authorized power is less than the maxi-
mum watts, you may use the Power Set to limit the range of the RF Output control.

5.4.3 SWR Calibrate
When the Carrier switch is off, or the RF power is less than about 5 watts, the SWR circuit
automatically switches to a calibrate-check mode. (See section 4.5 for more information.)
Set the digital panel meter to read SWR. With the Carrier switch off, set the SWR CAL trim
pot (R66) to read 1.03.
5.4.4 PA Current Limit
Since it may not be practical to increase the PA current to set the PA Current Limit control,
you may use this indirect method.
With the carrier turned off, look at the DC voltage at the right end of R186 in the Metering
circuit on the motherboard. The current limit, in amperes, will be 0.35 amps higher than ten
times this voltage. For example, for a current limit of 7.35 amps, adjust the PA Current Limit
control for 0.7 volts at R186 ; or 0.565 volts for 6.0 amps. Set the current limit for 4 amps
(FM50), 7 amps (FM150), or 9.5 amps (FM300).
5.5 Motherboard Configuration

See section 4.6.1 for motherboard jumper configuration.
5.6 Display Modulation Calibration

The Modulation Calibrate trim pot sets the sensitivity of the front panel Modulation bar graph
display.
This adjustment may be made only after the Output trim pot on the Audio Processor/Stereo
Generator board has been set. (See section 5.2.2.)
Set the Stereo-Mono switch to Mono.
Feed a sine wave source of about 2.5 kHz into the left channel at a level sufficient to put the
wideband gain-reduction indicator somewhere in the middle of its range.
Set the Modulation Calibrate trim pot so that the 90 light on the front panel Modulation dis-
play just begins to light.

5.7 Voltage Regulator Adjustments
JP1, a 10pin header on the Voltage Regulator board, sets the time between program fail-
ure and carrier turnoff. Pins 1 and 2 are the two pins closest to the edge of the board. The
times are approximate. Sections 2.11, 2.12, and 4.8 contain further information.
1. Short pins 1 and 2 for a 30second delay.
2. Short pins 3 and 4 for a 2minute delay.
3. Short pins 5 and 6 for a 4minute delay.
4. Short pins 7 and 8 for an 8minute delay.
You may select other times by changing the value of R21. The time is proportional to the re-
sistance.
5.8 Bias Set (RF Power Amplifier)

The Bias Set trim pot is located inside the PA module on the input circuit board. Set the trim
pot to its midpoint for near-optimum bias.

5.9 Performance Verification
Measure the following parameters to receive a comprehensive characterization of trans-
mitter performance:
Carrier frequency
RF output power
RF bandwidth and RF harmonics (see section 5.12)
Pilot frequency, phase, and modulation percentage
Audio frequency response
Audio distortion
Modulation percentage
FM and AM noise
Stereo separation between left and right
Crosstalk between main channel and subcarrier
38kHz subcarrier suppression
In addition to the above tests, which pertain to signal quality, a complete check of the
unit will include items listed in section 5.21.
5.9.1 Audio Proof-of-Performance Measurements
References to 100% modulation assume 9% pilot and 91% for the remainder of the com-
posite stereo signal.
Because the audio processing threshold is at 90% modulation, it is not possible to make
audio proof-of-performance measurements at 100% modulation through the audio proces-
sor. Instead, data is taken at a level below the audio processing threshold at 80% modula-
tion.
5.9.2 De-emphasis Input Network
A precision de-emphasis network, connected between the test oscillator and the audio in-
put of the transmitter, can be very helpful when making the audio measurements. Note
that the input impedance of the transmitter or the source impedance of the test oscillator
can affect network accuracy. With the de-emphasis network, oscillator level adjustments
need only accommodate gain errors, instead of the whole pre-emphasis curve.

5.10 Carrier Frequency
Carrier frequency is measured at the output frequency with a frequency monitor or suitable
frequency counter.
To adjust frequency, see section 5.3.3. (FCC tolerance +/ 2000 Hz per FCC Part 73.1540
and 73.1545.)
5.11 Output Power

The output power reading on the front panel display should be 90105% of the actual value.
For a more precise measurement, use a watt meter in the RF output line. See sections
5.4.1 and 5.4.2 for setting power.
5.12 RF Bandwidth and RF Harmonics

You can observe RF bandwidth and spurious emissions with an RF spectrum analyzer.
In the Stereo mode, feed a 15.0kHz audio signal into one channel to provide 85% modula-
tion as indicated on a monitor. Doing so produces 38% main, 38% stereo subcarrier, and
9% pilot per FCC Part 2.1049. As an alternative, use pink noise into one channel.
Using a spectrum analyzer, verify the following (per FCC 73.317):
1. Emissions more than 600 kHz from the carrier are at least 43 + 10log(power, in watts)
dB down (58 dB for 30 watts, 65 dB for 150 watts, 68 dB for 300 watts). The scan
should include the tenth harmonic.
2. Emissions between 240 kHz and 600 kHz from the carrier are down at least 35 dB.
3. Emissions between 120 kHz and 240 kHz from the carrier are down at least 25 dB.
5.13 Pilot Frequency

The pilot frequency should be within 2 Hz of 19 kHz. (FCC Part 73.322.) Using a frequency
counter, measure 1.9 MHz at pin 13 of U208 on the Audio Processor/Stereo Generator
board. A 200Hz error here corresponds to a 2Hz error at 19 kHz. If the frequency is off by
more than 50 Hz, you may change the value of C213. (Changing C213 from 56 pF to 68 pF
lowers the 1.9 MHz by about 35 Hz.)
5.14 Audio Frequency Response

For the response tests, take the readings from an FM modulation monitor.
Make audio frequency response measurements for left and right channels at frequencies of
50 Hz, 100 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz. See sections 5.9.1 and 5.9.2.

5.15 Audio Distortion
Make distortion measurements from the de-emphasized output of an FM modulation moni-
tor.
Make audio distortion measurements for left and right channels at frequencies of 50 Hz, 100
Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz. See sections 5.9.1 and 5.9.2.
5.16 Modulation Percentage

While feeding an audio signal into the left channel only, confirm that the total modulation
percentage remains constant when switching between Mono and Stereo.
Measure modulation percentage with an FM modulation monitor. See section 5.2.2.
19kHz pilot modulation should be 9%.
5.17 FM and AM Noise

Take noise readings from a de-emphasized output of a modulation monitor.
5.18 Stereo Separation

Make left-into-right and right-into-left stereo separation measurements with an FM modula-
tion monitor for frequencies of 50 Hz, 100 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz.
5.19 Crosstalk
For stereo crosstalk measurements, both left and right channels are fed at the same time.
For best results, there needs to be a means of correcting small imbalances in levels and
phase. The balance is made at 400 Hz.
5.19.1 Main Channel Into Sub
Feed the left and right channels in phase with audio (L+R) at 50 Hz, 100 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz,
5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz at 100% modulation, while observing the stereo subcarrier (L-R)
level on an FM modulation monitor.
5.19.2 Sub Channel Into Main
Feed the audio into the left and right channel as above, with the exception of reversing the
polarity of the audio of one channel (L-R input). Using the frequencies of 5.19.1 above, ob-
serve the main channel (L+R) level with a modulation monitor.

5.20 38kHz Subcarrier Suppression
With no modulation, but in the Stereo mode, the 38kHz subcarrier, as indicated on an FM
modulation monitor, should be down at least 40 dB.
5.21 Additional Checks

In addition to the tests and adjustments mentioned in this section, the following checks en-
sure a complete performance appraisal of the transmitter:
1. Perform a physical inspection, looking for visible damage and checking that the chassis
hardware and circuit boards are secure.
2. Check the functionality of switches and processing control.
3. Verify that all indicators function.
4. Check the frequency synthesizer lock at 80 MHz and 110 MHz.
5. Measure the AC line current with and without the carrier on.
6. Perform a functional test of the SCA input, Monitor outputs, and the monitor and control
function at the 15pin, D-sub connector.
7. Test the functionality of the FSK circuit.
8. Check the operation and timing of the automatic carrier-off circuitry associated with pro-
gram failure.
9. Check all metering functions.
10. Test ALC action with PA current overload, SWR, and PLL lock.
NOTE:
FCC type acceptance procedures call for testing the carrier frequency over the temperature
range of 050 degrees centigrade, and at line voltages from 85% to 115% of rating. (See
FCC Part 2.1055.)
