The design of this equipment is subject to change due to continuous development. This equipment may incorporate minor changes in detail from the information contained in this manual.
There are 2 distinct models in the VT-4B Transmitter family each with different bands of operation. The 2 models are as follows: • VT-4B140-00-000 - 136-150 MHz band, 2.0-8.0 Watt • VT-4B160-00-000 - 150-174 MHz band, 2.0-8.0 Watt The transmitters' band of operation is determined by select components in the amplifier.
PTT Time-Out-Timer: Programmable from 1 sec. to 8 hrs. (default 5 min.), using Radio Programming Software package. Channel Spacing: 12.5 kHz /15 kHz or 25 kHz / 30 kHz. DANIELS ELECTRONICS VT-4B150 VHF Project 25 Digital Base Transmitter Instruction Manual...
Gold plated module connectors. Module Design: Compact Eurostandard modular design. Plug-in modules mate with Daniels standard M3 repeater subrack. Subracks / modules comply with IEEE 1101, DIN 41494 and IEC 297-3 (mechanical size / modular arrangement). External Connections: RF Connection: type N connector located on the transmitter module front panel.

*** Note that the current version of Radio Programming Software is a demonstration version only, and cannot be used to program a Transmitter. To program a Transmitter, use Motorola’s Radio Service Software (RSS), a Motorola Radio Interface Box (RIB), and a Daniels Programming Cable.
The transmitter’s frequency band is set here. The available options are 136 – 174 MHz and 406 – 470 MHz. The band from 803 – 870 MHz will become available in future models. DANIELS ELECTRONICS VT-4B150 VHF Project 25 Digital Base Transmitter Instruction Manual...

Channel Status This option is not currently used. 2.2.2.14 Transmitter Pre-emphasis For analog channels, the standard 6 dB/octave pre-emphasis curve may be either disabled or applied to the transmitted audio DANIELS ELECTRONICS VT-4B150 VHF Project 25 Digital Base Transmitter Instruction Manual...
Therefore, it is recommended that Motorola’s Radio Service Software (RSS) and Radio Interface Box (RIB) be used in conjunction with a Daniels Radio Programming Cable to program the transmitter modules. For instructions on how to use the RSS, consult Motorola’s Astro Portable / Mobile Radio Software User’s Guide.
To transmit a secure signal, the transmitter must be programmed with the correct encryption key using a Motorola KVL keyloader in conjunction with a Daniels Keyloader Cable. Consult the instructions for the Keyloader for details on loading a key. A loaded key may be cleared by pulling first the CLEAR KEYS 1* then the CLEAR KEYS 2* inputs to ground about 500 ms apart.
2885 Hz. Click on the "UPDATE SOFTPOT" button to save the new setting to the radio's non- volatile memory. Repeat the process for each test frequency. This completes the adjustment process for the transmitter deviation limits, and completes the alignment process for the Main Board.

It is recommended that the radio communications test set be frequency locked to an external reference (WWVH, GPS, Loran C) so that the high stability oscillator may be accurately set to within its ±1 ppm frequency tolerance.
