SPECIFICATIONS
SYSTEM
RF Carrier Frequency
150 to 216 MHz (10 frequencies between 167.875 and
183.0 MHz offered; others available)
Frequency Stability
0.005%, Crystal-Controlled
Ultimate Quieting (ref. 12 kHz deviation)
>90 dB at 30m (100 ft); 60 dB, line-of-sight at 402m
(1/4 mi.)
Modulation
± 12 kHz deviation compressor-expander system with
pre- and de-emphasis
Distortion (ref. 12 kHz deviation)
Less than 0.3% THD, 50-15,000 Hz
Dynamic Range

Audio Frequency Response
50 to 15,000 Hz, ± 1 dB
Audio Polarity
Positive pressure on microphone diaphragm results
in positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3 of
OUTPUT connector (with Shure WL83 or Shure low- or
high-impedance, XLR-connector microphone through
WA310 cable); negative voltage applied to tip of
WA300 cable connector results in same output polari-
ty
