FM 100C - Technical Specifications

 

Key Features

  • The FM 100C can serve as a reliable 125 watt stand-alone FM transmitter

  • Computer-optimized phase locked loop greatly improves low frequency response

  • Contains a 250 watt MOSFET as the output device

  • Optional N+1 board allows selection of up to 10 different frequencies in local or remote locations

  • Frequency range of 87-109 MHz digitally programmable in 10 kHz increments

  • Performance specifications feature a dynamic range that rivals CD players with harmonic and intermodulation distortion values so low they are virtually immeasurable.
