This type of equipment is often called STL (Studio-to-Transmitter Link). The PTRLNV/4 is designed to work in an optimum way when connected to the receiver RXRLNV/4. Externally, it is a box to mount in a 19” rack, each one being 1HE high.

The important audio characteristics of this equipment are the low distorsion and intermodulation values and the high S/N level; another important quality both of the PTRLNV/4 and the RXRLNV/4 is its very simple construction and its easy use. Both the PTRLNV/4 and the RXRLNV/4 were designed in a modular way: the different functions are executed by modules connected directly with male and female connectors or with flat cables with connectors at both ends. This type of...

PTRLNV/4 & RXRLNV/4 ELETTRONICA Display modality of the modulation selectable between x1 and x10. The indication of the instantaneous deviation is multiplied by a factor 10 in the x10 mode, so the hatched indicator on the predefined menu will coincide with the 7.5 kHz value instead of 75 kHz. This display mode is useful when you want to view low deviation levels such as, for example, those due to the pilot tone or to the subcarriers.
PTRLNV/4 & RXRLNV/4 ELETTRONICA 6.4.3 Levels Meter Menu The Right, Left and SCA channel output levels are depicted with horizontal bars, as shown in the following figure. The hatched pointer indicates the level that corresponds with the total deviation at 100%, and is useful to regulate the output levels of the audio channels.
