The transmitter is internally set to communicate at 9600 bps, no parity with 1 stop bit and hardware flow control. This is commonly known as 9600 8N1. If your using Windows then you can use the pre-bundled terminal program “Hyper-terminal”. This is located in the Programs -> Accessories -> Communications folder accessible Page 9 BW Broadcast technical manual... - Page 10 Unmute R.F. wait a second or two before asking for a refresh screen or by ask- ENTER Refresh screen ing for several refresh screens by pressing the 'Enter’ key a few times in succession.

T1 from the output of REG1 which is a switching regulator. PLL signal coming through R6 from the exciter section, can pull the T1 bias voltage low, effectively reducing the power output of T1. Page 14 BW Broadcast technical manual... - Page 15 The output of the low pass filter is sniffed by VSWR sensors R4, R5, C3, D2, C4 and R6, R7, C5, D3, C6 which generate forward and reverse RF power measurements for metering and for VSWR fault protection and alarms.
