  • Page 3 ■ Other items required for using the kit ( not included in the kit ) □ DC power supply (φ2.1 center plus 5 V) If the noise of the power supply is larger, the performance degrade. Transformer type CVCC power supply is recommended. Those that were dropped by a transformer and then set to 5V with a series regulator, is OK.

Tranceiver Receiver test signal test signal is at the center of When you press SW4 at reception, a signal of the same frequency as the reception frequency is output from the SDR-3A board CN2. the spectrum screen If setting "4. Test SG" is OFF, no test signal is output. When you are watching the received spectrum display, a single spectrum appears at the center.
  • Page 16 3-4. Tranceiver Transmitter test signal transmission no MIC input When you press SW4 at transmission, it becomes the test signal instead of the microphone. If setting "4. Test SG" is OFF, test signal input will not be made. Pressing SW4 repeatedly changes the test signal as follows. 1.

    7-2. Frequency adjustment Setting 画面 If you are concerned about frequency error please follow the procedure below. Wait until the frequency stabilizes for a while after turning on the power supply. When this adjustment is made, the oscillation frequency changes, so it is necessary to adjust the crystal filter center frequency again.
