The QPT1 transmitter module offers a 2 watt RF output VHF radio link, in either a robust aluminium extruded casing, or a smaller footprint PCB mounted shield can. This unit is ideally suited to applcations where existing lower powered transmitters provide insufficient range. The QPT1 transmitter is a m ulti-channel, narrowband design, suitable for licensed and unlicensed VHF allocations, FCC part 90 operation, and the 2M amateur band. Together with a matching LMR1 or R X1M receiver a one-way radio data link can be achieved over a distance of well over 10km (with a suitable antenna)." Features Compliant with FCC part 90 PLL synthesizer with TCXO Data rates up to 5 kbps for standard module Usable range over 10km Re-programmable via RS232 interface Applications ■ Amateur radio ■ MURS units ■ Industrial telemetry and telecommand ■ High-end security systems ■ APRS systems ■ Vehicle data up/download ■ ROV/machinery controls Technical Summary ■ Operating frequency: 144.000 - 144.775 (25KHz steps) ■ Any 2MHz segment in 135 - 175MHz ■ 16 channels selected by parallel interface ■ or 32 channels by serial command ■ Transmit power: 2 W (+33dBm) nominal (1 watt version available) ■ Supply range: 12V (11 - 15V) ■ Current consumption: 550mA typ. ■ Data bit rate: 5kbps max ■ Size: 68 x 55 x 15mm (pcb mounted version) ■ 83 x 64 x 30 mm (extrusion case version) ■ (dimensions do not include connectors) Radiometrix Ltd QPT1 Data Sheet&nb

Pin description (PCB mounted version) 1. No 'modem version' is available, but the PL_ and CX series firmware can be used 2. Parallel port has a 50K pullups to internal 4v rail 3. Caution. The TXD and P0-P3 inputs are not high voltage tolerant. Low voltage logic, or switches to ground, are required. 4. Overall thermal power dissipation in normal use is around 4 watts, rising to 6-7 watts under aerial fault conditions. 5. This is a 2 watt output product. Good grounding , good quality aerials, properly mounted, and a low impedence power supply are required if full performance is to be...

aa = a two digit channel number from 00 to 31 nnnnn = synthesizer N register value (up to 65535) rrrr = synthesizer R register value (up to 16383) Notes: 1. A pause of at least 50ms must be allowed between command strings (EEPROM programming time). 2. SINGLE mode does not store the N value in EEPROM. Therefore the unit is inoperative after a power down until either another valid SINGLE command is received, or mode is changed by a GOCHAN, SETPAR or SETSER command. SINGLE mode is intended for frequency agile applications. Radiometrix Ltd QPT1 Data Sheet page 5
