    Windows™ Laptop or PC, plugged into a USB port located on the back panel. At the heart of the FMTX1 is a high quality PLL modulator, and the RF Power Amplifier uses the latest high-gain Enhancement Mode MOSFET device, achieving new levels of efficiency and reliability.
  • Page 4 Use of this device into a radiating antenna requires a valid licence from a Spectrum Management Authority in most countries. Use of this device as part of a transmission system, or combined transmission system not specified by the manufacturer, may require further testing to ensure that it remains compliant with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of current EU Low Voltage, EMC and Radio Equipment Directives.
  • Page 5: Controls And Connectors

    The transmitter should be serviced by qualified service personnel if it does not appear to operate normally, exhibits a marked change in performance, has been subjected to shock, damage, moisture, or if foreign objects have ingressed. The user should not attempt to service the transmitter beyond that which is described in the Operating Instructions.

  • Page 7: Operation

    Should the RF output fail due to a PLL error in the modulator circuitry, “ALARM!” will show in place of the forward power reading. Try resetting the FMTX1, by switching the power off, waiting 15 seconds and then switching the power back on.
  • Page 9 UP and DOWN DOWN buttons DOWN DOWN pressed whilst simultaneously powering-up the FMTX1. This preference will be stored in non-volatile memory, and will therefore remain effective during power loss. To re-enable the RDS, repeat the above procedure. This preference will be stored in non-volatile memory, and will therefore remain effective during power loss.
