Comtek full fidelity receivers, or non-companded 1:1 audio processing on prescribed channels with Comtek and other lower cost popular receivers. Both audio processing systems have the same frequency response of 80 Hz to 10 KHz. Operating under F.C.C. Regulation Part 90, the M-175 transmitter has greater transmission range and reliability.
M-175 SETUP Setup a. Check to ensure that the M-175 transmitter’s radio frequency channel is the same as the associated COMTEK receiver’s channel. (Channels are indicated by the rotary channel selector switches on the back of the transmitter. See page 8.) b.
M-175 CONTROLS CHANNEL SWITCHES: These rotary switches are used to set the transmitter to the desired operating frequency. (See page 9 and 10 for frequency selection chart.) BATTERY COMPARTMENT: The battery compartment features a hinged battery cover and an alignment system that ensures proper battery polarity.
M-175 BATTERY REMOVAL / REPLACEMENT Low Battery Indicator The LED on the top of the transmitter indicates the status of the battery as well as indicating that the unit is turned on. When the transmitter is turned on, the LED illuminates. If the battery is low, the green LED will blink rapidly to warn you that the battery will soon be dead.
(Alkaline batteries must not be charged.) 2. Make sure the M-175 is turned OFF. 3. Note that the red charging indicator on the charger is ON when the M-175 is plugged into the charger through the audio output jack. 4.

M-175 FREQUENCY SELECTION Frequency Selection (72-76 MHz) The M-175 transmitter can operate on one of 88 available channels between 72-76 MHz. COMTEK channel designations indicate both standard non-companded channels and high-fidelity companded channels. Channels 1-88 are to be used only with receivers having 2:1 audio companding processing.
In order to accommodate a greater variety of receivers, the M-175 transmitter incorporates the option to operate with receivers that have companded or non-companded audio processing. However, the M-175 transmitter must operate non-companded with non-companded receivers and companded only with receivers that incorporate companding processing.
Two separate antennas must be used to cover the two operating frequency ranges of 72-73 MHz (antenna #1) and 74 to 76 MHz (antenna #2). Both antennas are supplied with the M-175 Option P-7 transmitter. Page 11...
• The M-175 transmitter must be returned to COMTEK for service if the test indicator lamp does not illuminate when new alkaline batteries are used.

2. Channel Selection For operation with non-companded receivers (such as PR-75 or PR-72), the M-175 transmitter must be set to one of 10 non-companded channels 91-00. For high-fidelity operation, the companded channels 1-88 must be used with companded receiver PR-216/72MHz model.
