DC Input Connector
Full performance is obtained when the dc input voltage is in the operational range. If the input
voltage is increased above the operational range, the output will be disabled and the synthesizer
will be in standby mode. The synthesizer may be operated with reduced RF output power in
the reduced performance voltage range. If the dc voltage is in the Min non-operational range,
the output will be disabled but all user setting will be retained. Input voltages below the
minimum non-operational range will cause a reset condition.
