Its broadband “notune” design allows 87.5  108MHz operation without requiring tuning or calibration. The inclusion of fourband DSPX audio processing means stations without a dedicated processor sound great, right out of the box. Those who already have external processing benefit from BW Broadcast’s unique dualloop virtual VFO exciter and field proven ultralow distortion modulator integrated into a great performing, highly stable FM transmission system. Features such as slidein power supplies, and unique solderfree GoldClamp transistors (not present on all models) make infield maintenance simple. A high resolution OLED screen displays RF, audio and system parameters. The control wheel and three front panel buttons allow easy navigation of the menus. Help tips for every parameter make setup simple without having to refer to the technical manual Every V2 Transmitter features a LAN connection for Ethernet local or remote control. The LAN connection also supports SNMP, telnet, and email alerts via either SMTP or BW Broadcast’s mail server. Where a LAN connection is not available, the RS232 connection can be used. Intelligent alarms and email alerts ensure busy engineers can manage their stations with minimal intervention. A real time clock and comprehensive logging is available for those who like to see more detailed status. Also present are 4 rear panel optoisolated triggers that allow external equipment to control the transmitter. It is advised that this manual is read to learn all of the advanced features of the V2 Transmitter.

The apparatus was set up and exercised using the configurations, modes of operation and arrangements defined in this report only. Particular operating modes, apparatus monitoring methods and performance criteria required by the standards tested to have been performed except where identified in Section 1.7 of this test report (Deviations from Test Standards). For emissions testing, throughout this test report, “Pass” indicates that the results for the sample as tested were below the specified limit (refer also to Section 2, Measurement Uncertainty). Where relevant, the apparatus was only assessed using the monitoring methods and susceptibility criteria defined in this report. All testing with the exception of testing at the Open Area Test Site was performed under the following environmental conditions: Temperature : 17 to 23 °C Humidity : 45 to 75 % All dates used in this report are in the format dd/mm/yy.
