Shenzhen Friendcom Technology Development Co., Ltd. 1 Product Description FC-302 is a synthesized 5-watt FM transceiver module, which is designed for data transportation and voice communication. For the voice communication, it can support selected pre-emphasis, squelch and audio amplifier. The radio is PLL(Phase Lock Loop Synthesizer) /microprocessor controlled with 4FSK modem. The application of two-point modulation with good low-frequency response in the radio also makes it a competitive choice for 9600bps rate data application.

3.2 4FSK Modem 4FSK high speed modem are applied to the FC-302 data radio to increase capability for data application. modem is to improve the efficiency for data transmission and provide maximum flexibility for user application.
Shenzhen Friendcom Technology Development Co., Ltd. 4.1 Hardware Installation To apply PC software to radio application, FC-302 QuickSet En v0.1.12, programming cable, programming kit and PC are needed. In this chapter, instruction for connection of the equipment will be illustrated.
Shenzhen Friendcom Technology Development Co., Ltd. For data transmission test with 4FSK modem, the jumper’s position need to be changed shown as below. 4.2 Operation Instruction Detailed instruction for channel and system configuration is described. Especially, in input channel data, data input method for Rx,Tx frequency, Rx,Tx option such as CTCSS, DCS, scan and bandwidth is explained specifically.

Shenzhen Friendcom Technology Development Co., Ltd. User can decide the channel spacing in this feature with optional 6.25KHz (Narrow) or 12.5KHz (Wide) channel spacing. 4.2.2.3 SQ level Five SQ levels can be select in our radio. Level 0 is for fully open mute. The audio signal will continuously transmit.

Shenzhen Friendcom Technology Development Co., Ltd. CTCSS/DCS User can encode tones with CTCSS/DCS according to options shown in the picture. The feature is not available for high speed data transmission. Switch When we use radio remote: the Switch function can be use to change a logic from +5V to 0V minimum. The judging condition is long period of 260Hz, sine wave 300 Ms.

Shenzhen Friendcom Technology Development Co., Ltd. Power Save Time When Power save is enable, sleep time can be programmed from 20 to 500 ms in 20ms increment with 1~25 optional values. That means 1 equals to 20 ms, 2 equals to 40ms ..25 equal to 500ms Standby time can also be programmed from 40 to 600 ms in 40ms increment with 1~15 optional values.
Shenzhen Friendcom Technology Development Co., Ltd. Scan modes are set up in “Option” and shown as below 0 ---------normal scan with carry only 1 ---------normal scan, carry with tone 2 ---------priority scan, carry only 3 ---------priority scan, carry with tone If normal scan is enabled, radio will scan from initial channel to channel 16 sequentially.
