. The first priority was going to be to run it in ACSSB in the 222 to 225 MHz region with 1.6MHz split instead of 220-222 1M. NB-FM would be the gravy. On 4/26/07, allan crites [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: DC, The model no. is ESP1000/ESP1000M and the master base station oscillator (MBSO

. The rcvr IF is 10.235 MHz if I remember correctly. Here an outboard quad.detector on 10.235 MHz of some sort would be needed for recovery of the modulation, if the +- 5.0 KHz modulation deviation ever made it thru the rcvr IF +- 2.5 KHz xtal BPF. Allan Crites WA9ZZU DCFluX [EMAIL PROTECTED

DC, The model no. is ESP1000/ESP1000M and the master base station oscillator (MBSO) that operates at 10.275 MHz is contained in only one of the rack combination of up to 5 xmtrs. The manual is 1 1/2 thick and is very complex. I look forward to hearing how you expect to accomplish

Tim, The ATT spec for line loss from the sending end to the central office is 9 +- 1 dB and from the central office to the receiving end is 9 +- 1 dB. So your total loss will be 18 +- 2 dB. I need to find my tone remote manual to get the answers to your other questions. WA9ZZU Steve
