Your new FM-800 or FM-850 HI-FI STEREO FM TRANSMITTER is a very high performance and high reliability piece of equipment. Before using it, please read this manual carefully in order to obtain the best possible results from your transmitter. The manual contains installation, operation and programmation procedures for DECADE FM-800 (1.8 Watts) Hi-Fi mono and FM-850 (1.8 Watts) of Hi-Fi Stereo FM Transmitters. B) Description FM-800 and FM-850 transmitters include a high precision crystal controlled VCO, a digital stereo generator (FM-850 only), an RF power amplifier and a spurious filter. They accept left and right audio signals on two types of input connectors: !XLR3: 600 Ohms balanced inputs, with signal levels of -4dBm min. !1/4": 6 to 10K Ohms unbalanced inputs, with signal levels of - 10dBm min. Input level can be ajusted from the INPUT LEVEL control on the front panel, in order to get the optimum modulation level. That useful feature makes DECADE transmitters very versatile, allowing them to accept audio signals from many sources. C) Warranty FM-800 and FM-850 tranmitters come with a two (2) years warranty that covers parts replacement and labor required to repair any defects resulting from the manufacturing process. All claims must be authorized by DECADE prior to shipment of a faulty unit for repairs and a copy of the invoice must be included in the shipment. Shiping fees are assumed by the client and DECADE will pay for the return of the repaired unit. 3 D) Warning DECADE transmitters operate on the 87.9 MHz - 107.9 MHZ commercial FM broadcast band, so signals transmitted by them can be received on any standard FM receiver. Thus, some care should be taken in the use made out of these transmitters. DECADE transmitters inc. is not responsible for any loss of profit or laws violation during the utilisation of their transmitters. The FCC legislate the use of FM transmitters.A license or special permit from FCC is required for the operation of these units.

1.) What was the audio power (voltage RMS) for the 15 KHz tone? If I understand the question correctly, using the equation, P=V 2 /R, 0.001 watts (0 dBm) = V 2 /600 ohms V 2 = 0.001x600 = 0.6 V rms = 0.775 V rms 2.) Verify that this device was modulated with the maximum audio level. Correct. The device was modulated per the requirements of 2.1049 and output modulation was adjusted to maximum level using the control on the transmitter.
