5-10
Internal FM
Specification
Deviation range
0 to 100 kHz.
Resolution 3 digits or 1 Hz.
Accuracy ±5% at 1 kHz modulation rate.
Bandwidth (1 dB) DC to 100 kHz (DC coupled),
10 Hz to 100 kHz (AC coupled),
20 Hz to 100 kHz (AC coupled with ALC).
Carrier frequency offset Less than 1% of the set frequency deviation when DC coupled.
Distortion Less than 3% at 1 kHz rate for deviations up to 100 kHz.
Typically <0.5% at 1 kHz rate for deviations up to 10 kHz.
FSK
2 level or 4 level FSK.
Note that 4 FSK is not available with Option 11 Fast Pulse fitted.
