The synthesizer module can be programmed to have up to 16 channels exclusive to one frequency band. The VT-3H040 Transmitter is designed to interface with Daniels Electronics' MT-3 Repeater System while maintaining MT-2 System compatibility. Both radio systems are characterized by dependable, low maintanence performance under the most severe environmental conditions.
38 MHz can be accomodated by one of the models providing that the frequency span does not exceed 1.0 MHz. Model VT-3H035-SWA3 can operate at frequencies up to 38.5 MHz and is the preferred choice when spanning 38 MHz. Consult the factory for futher information regarding operation around this frequency.
Standard: ±1 ppm, -30˚C to +60˚C, optional -40˚C to +60˚C Channel Selection: In 5 kHz or 6.25 kHz increments selected through four internal BCD rotary switches.

GENERAL Introduction The MT-3 Transmitter Main Board integrates the MT-3 Front Panel Board, MT-3 Audio Processor, Synthesizer or Crystal Controlled Oscillator module, and Amplifier module together to comprise a MT-3 series transmitter (see section 5.1: MT-3 Transmitter Block Diagram). The Front Panel Board and the Audio Processor are soldered directly to the Transmitter Main Board while the Amplifier and the Synthesizer or Crystal Controlled Oscillator module are frequency band sensitive, plug-in modules.

Plug-in module mates with Daniels standard 19” MT3 repeater subrack. Interchangeable for test and repair. External Connections: REF Input and Output SMA connectors located on the module’s front panel.
ALIGNMENT Repair Notes Removal and replacement of surface mount components should be performed only in specifi cally designed surface mount rework and repair stations complete with electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. To help prevent damage to the circuit board pads when removing Surface Mount Solder Jumpers, it is recommended that solder braid be used in place of manual vacuum de-soldering tools.
