The front panel depicted in Section 3.1 bears a DPDT toggle switch (mounted on the Front Panel
Board; see the Transmitter Main Board Manual) which controls the operation of the VT-3 132 -
174 MHz Transmitter. When in the 'OFF' position, the transmitter is turned off; however, the +13.8
Vdc remains on the Transmitter Main Board terminals and on the Amplifier Module. When in the
'KEYED' position, +9.5 Vdc is supplied to the transmitter circuitry and the transmitter is
continously transmitting. When this switch is in the 'NORM' position, +9.5 Vdc is supplied to the
transmitter circuitry although the transmitter remains quiescent until keyed from one of several
Push-To-Talk (hereafter PTT) inputs. The red indicator LED is illuminated during transmit.

Microphone, RF output and optional reference input are mounted on the front panel; power and
other signal connections are provided by a type 'F' connector at the rear of Transmitter Main Board.
Details on their function can be found in the Transmitter Main Board Manual.
