Re: Gainmaker LE - 5-40 870Mhz


There are two pilot carriers that S.A. uses it depends on which amp the M.S.O. purchased, 445.25Mhz(ch61)and 547.25Mhz (ch78)you need to check so you get it right.

> All here are the S1 position functions,
> 1. In a AGC configured station the switch positions are as follows
> Pos 1. thermal, a thermistor monitors ambient temperature of the amplifier and drives the bode to compensate for temp changes in the amplifier.
> Pos 2. Manual no level control
> Pos. 3. AGC pilot channel 78 reference level 34 dB for HGD,LGD,HBT. The reference level for an unbalanced tripple is 26 dB, and the reference level for an LE is 29 dB.

> For amplifiers without AGC installed the S1 positions function differently they are as follows.
> Pos. 1. Thermal amplifier only. [use in UG applications]
> Pos.2. NOT USED
> Pos.3 Thermal amplifier and coax [use this if the coax preceeding the amplifier is areial]
