1.
For 862 MHz operation, a cable EQ is required after the Port 4 output hybrid to provide the proper output tilt.
2.
The frequency dependent assemblies are bench replaceable to upgrade frequency split of amplifier at a later date if required.
3.
GaAs hybrids provide TL performance at TL operating levels.
4.
ALC may operate on a QAM channel. This depends on the level of the QAM signals. Not recommended.
5.
The ALC PAD can be adjusted to compensate for the lower QAM signal.
6.
The 700 series used a 9-pin power supply cable, but a conversion kit is available to convert to the 12-pin FM901e module.
7.
The balance testpoint is internal only.
8.
Only Forward testpoints can be either internal or external. Return testpoints are always internal.
9.
Bi-directional port testpoints. Balance testpoint is directional coupler type.
10.
Separate Forward and Return directional coupler testpoints.
11.
Combined directional coupler Forward and Return testpoints.
