1.2.5 SatellatorOne additional option is available for all configurations—an FSK Identifier (FSK IDer). Thisadded feature enables the FM30, FM150, and FM300 to transmit its call sign or operatingfrequency in a Morse code style. This option is intended for use in satellite-fed networks.Transmitters equipped in this fashion are often known as "satellators."Connect the transmitter to your satellite receiver and the pre-programmed FSK IDer doesthe rest—shifting the frequency to comply with FCC requirements and in a manner that isunnoticeable to the listener. The FSK IDer module should be ordered at the time you orderyour transmitter, but is available separately (factory programmed for your installation).Illustration 1–4 Transmitter with FSK IDer OptionAdd the FSK IDer option to the exciter configuration for the most economical satellator (acomposite input signal is required).1.2.6 NearcastingThe output power of an FM30 transmitter can be reduced to a level that could function as anear-cast transmitter. Crown transmitters have been used in this way for language translation,for re-broadcasting the audio of sporting events within a stadium, and for specializedlocal radio. The FM30 is the only transmitter that is appropriate for this application.1-6 FM30/FM150/FM300 User’s Manual
