GENERAL
1.1
Introduction
The VT-3H040 transmitter is a low power, synthesized FM transmitter capable of operating in
20 kHz or 25 kHz channels and within one of two bands: 29 MHz to 38 MHz or 38 MHz to 50
MHz. The transmitter is rated for continuous duty at an RF output power of 3.0 Watt. The RF
output power level is preset at the factory. A modular design allows each of the transmitter's
modules; MT-3 Transmitter Main Board, MT-3 Audio Processor, VT-3H040 Amplifier and OS3H040 Synthesizer to be individually assembled and tested. This facilitates construction, tuning,
maintainance as well as troubleshooting procedures. The synthesizer module can be programmed
to have up to 16 channels exclusive to one frequency band.
The VT-3H040 Transmitter is designed to interface with Daniels Electronics' MT-3 Repeater
System while maintaining MT-2 System compatibility. Both radio systems are characterized by
dependable, low maintanence performance under the most severe environmental conditions.
1.2
Manual Organization
The organization of this manual reflects the modular makeup of the VT-3 product line. Each
module is fully described within its respective submanual, all of which are contained within this
document. In general, each submanual contains:
1. A functional description and specification summary,
2. a detailed technical description (Theory of Operation) and
3. assembly, setup and alignment procedures relevent to that particular module.
The module manuals are as follows.
Note: material presented in a given "sub-manual" may include information related to other
module versions not directly appllicable to the VT-3H040 Transmitter family (eg, the OS-3H
Synthesizer Instruction Manual covers models from 29 MHz to 512 MHz).
Transmitter Manual: This manual provides an overview of the complete transmitter, manual
organization and assembly in terms of the other modules.
MT-3 Transmitter Main Board: This manual pertains to the audio processor module, transmitter
Main Board and Front Panel Board. Most of the user selectable options are accessed within the
Transmitter Main Board module, including channel selection. Since all external connections
(including power and signal lines) are made to the Transmitter Main Board, most of the material
pertaining to transmitter operation and installation is found here.

DEELECTRONICS
VT-3H040 VHF Enhanced Transmitter Instruction Manual
VT-3H040 VHF Amplifier: The amplifier module provides the final stages of RF power
amplification and harmonic filtering for the transmitter. This manual is intended primarily as a
reference since the amplifier module is adjusted at the factory.
OS-3H040 Synthesizer: This manual pertains to the synthesizer module. Channel selection is
described in the 'Transmitter Main Board' Manual.
VT-3H040 Channel Designation Table: This document relates operating frequency to the
transmitter channel number (see section 2.1).
1.3
VT-3H040 Transmitter Family Models
The VT-3H040 line of transmitters has a single RF power output rating of 3.0 Watt, with wide
band FM (20 kHz or 25 kHz channels) and employs synthesizer based frequency generation. The
two basic (i.e. no options added) band specific models of the transmitter are as follows:
VT-3H035-SWA3:
VT-3H045-SWA3
29 MHz to 38 MHz
38 MHz to 50 MHz
The frequency is determined by the model of synthesizer and by the lowpass filter that is
installed in the amplifier module (see the VT-3H040 VHF Amplifier manual for details). A
group of channels spanning 38 MHz can be accomodated by one of the models providing that the
frequency span does not exceed 1.0 MHz. Model VT-3H035-SWA3 can operate at frequencies
up to 38.5 MHz and is the preferred choice when spanning 38 MHz. Consult the factory for
futher information regarding operation around this frequency.

Introduction
The MT-3 Transmitter Main Board integrates the MT-3 Front Panel Board, MT-3 Audio
Processor, Synthesizer or Crystal Controlled Oscillator module, and Amplifier module together to
comprise a MT-3 series transmitter (see section 5.1: MT-3 Transmitter Block Diagram). The Front
Panel Board and the Audio Processor are soldered directly to the Transmitter Main Board while the
Amplifier and the Synthesizer or Crystal Controlled Oscillator module are frequency band
sensitive, plug-in modules. Circuitry and jumpers on the Transmitter Main Board control the
operation of the modules as well as the overall operation of the MT-3 transmitter. Power and signal
connections are made through the 48 pin type 'F' connector on the rear of the Transmitter Main
Board where they are then routed to the other MT-3 modules. The front and rear panels are
attached to the Transmitter Main Board and together with the extruded aluminum shell, form the
transmitter enclosure.

GENERAL
1.1
Introduction
The VT-3H040 Amplifier provides the final stage of RF amplification and filtering for the
VT-3H040 and VT-3H040 Transmitters. The amplifier operates over one of two distinct
frequency ranges; either 29 to 38 MHz or 38 to 50 MHz, depending on which of the two lowpass
output filters is installed. The output power is set to 3.0 Watts by means of an externally
accessed control. The VT-3H040 Amplifier is housed in a machined aluminum case that ensures
optimum RF shielding, provides a good ground, and also acts as a heatsink.
Additionally, the VT-3H040 Amplifier is equipped with output power and VSWR sensing lines
which can be individually configured as open collector or linear outputs. The internal VSWR
sensor protects the amplifier from high antenna VSWR by approximately halving the amplifier's
RF gain when a VSWR overload condition is present.
Output filtering for the VT-3H040 Amplifier is provided by the Output Lowpass Filter Board.
The Output Lowpass Filter Board is mounted in a separate compartment of the amplifier case in
order to provided maximum attenuation of harmonic and other spurious signals.
Refer to Section 4.4 "VT-3H040 Amplifier Schematic Diagram” for the amplifier and Section
4.2 for the Output Lowpass schematic diagram.

General Information
Introduction
The OS(R/T)-3H Synthesizer is a compact, fully
shielded and environmentally rugged frequency
synthesis module that is the nucleus of every
MT-3 synthesized Receiver and Transmitter
radio module. The OS(R/T)-3H generates a high
stability, low distortion radio frequency signal in
one of several frequency bands. The OS(R/T)3H utilizes an internal temperature compensated
9.6 or 10.0 MHz reference to produce a signal
stable to ±1 ppm within the temperature range of
-40°C to +60°C. Alternately, the OS(R/T)-3H can
be disciplined by an external 9.6 MHz or 10 MHz
reference of higher stability. All synthesizer
modules are designed to be easily removed
for programming, calibration and/or repair. The
synthesizer circuitry is distributed between two
printed circuit boards (PCBs) which are isolated
yet interconnected via photo-logic optical
transceivers that effectively eliminate residual
electrical noise between digital and analog
circuitry. Further shielding of the synthesizer’s
RF filter circuitry is provided by an internal
shielded enclosure.
OS(R/T)-3H Enhanced Synthesizer
Family Models
The OS(R/T)-3H Synthesizer Module is utilized
in both the MT-3 Receiver and Transmitter
product lines. In MT-3 Transmitters, the OS(R/
T)-3H synthesizer provides a modulated, lowlevel RF signal to the Power Amplifier module.
In MT-3 Receivers, the OS(R/T)-3H synthesizer
provides a low noise local oscillator (LO) signal
that either directly drives the mixer circuitry or
first drives a buffer amplifier which precedes
the mixer circuitry (if a higher LO drive signal
is required for enhanced intermodulation
capability).
Note:
This section of the manual provides
service and operating information for
just the synthesizer modules listed
below. It is important to establish the
correct synthesizer model number,
as documentation is model-specific.
The model number can be found on
the synthesizer label, located on the
synthesizer module top cover.
This section of manual covers the following
Synthesizers:
OST-3H035
29-38 MHz RF output
installed in FM transmitter
OST-3H045
38-50 MHz RF output
installed in FM transmitter
OSR-3H061
50.4-71.4 MHz RF output
installed in FM receiver
All OS(R/T)-3H Enhanced Synthesizer Modules,
regardless of the frequency band, use the same
digital PCB and mechanical construction. There
are, however, significant differences between
the various models when it comes to the
analog PCB. Each model’s specific sub-band
of operation within a given frequency band is
determined through SELECT components on the
corresponding analog board.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
Introduction
The CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator module is an
optional plug-in component of the MT-3 Radio
Repeater System. This module provides digital
and/or analog paging capability for Daniels MT-3
transmitters in all supported frequency bands.
The CI-PM-3 is designed for low power
consumption, typically drawing less than 250 mA
in steady state. In its standard configuration, the
CI-PM-3 uses an on-board frequency reference
source consisting of a 10 MHz OCXO with a
standard stability of 0.03 PPM. For high stability
applications (such as Simulcast), the CI-PM-3
Paging Modulator may be configured to use
an external high stability reference source (i.e.
rubidium, GPS or WWV) with a standard stability
greater than or equal to 0.002 PPM, to discipline
the on-board phase-locked loop OCXO
oscillator. To ensure that paging signals are the
same relative to each transmitter, the CI-PM-3
also incorporates a limited delay compensation
for the different link propagation paths between
transmitters.
The CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator supports both
analog and digital paging formats, and can
transmit POCSAG and other 2-level modulation
schemes at data transfer rates of 512, 1200, and
2400 Baud. It can also be configured for use as
a data repeater, whereby 2-level paging data is
recovered, re-shaped and then re-transmitted to
an additional repeater/paging transmitter.
The CI-PM-3 supports 4-level modulation
formats at data transfer rates up to 1600 BPS.
Each of the four modulation deviation levels
can be independently set, making the CI-PM-3
suitable for use in such pager signaling schemes
as Motorola’s FLEX™ Paging Protocol.
Setup conditions are established via front panel
switch settings, while internal jumper settings
and setup adjustments are easily accessible
using the EC-96, 96 Pin Extender Card.
The CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator includes the
following standard features:
• low power analog and CMOS control
circuitry.
• extended operating temperature range;
• jumper selectable Repeater/paging
transmitter configuration;
• on-board +/-0.03 PPM 10 MHz OCXO;
• front panel selection of PLL OCXO using
external high stability frequency reference;
• jumper and line selectable analog/digital
paging configuration;
• connection for optional CTCSS encoder/
decoder;
• balanced 600 Ω/single-ended microphone
input;

Repair Notes
Removal and replacement of surface mount
components should be performed only in
specifically designed surface mount rework
and repair stations complete with electrostatic
discharge (ESD) protection.
To help prevent damage to the circuit board
pads when removing Surface Mount Solder
Jumpers, it is recommended that solder braid be
used in place of manual vacuum de-soldering
tools.
