Synthesizer Transmitter
Eight backplane connections are used to communicate with the synthesizer unit. Pins D28, D30,
and D32 are used (in house) to program the synthesizer. Channel select lines (pins D20, D22,
D24, and D26) are used once the synthesizer is programmed to select one of 16 channels. If the
channel select lines are all low (channel 0) the frequency for the synthesizer is read from switches
FSW1 (most significant), FSW2, FSW3, and FSW4 (least significant). Refer to the VT-3/150
Channel Designation Table Manual for the simplified channel number and frequency information.
