PDI-60MS 860MHz SAW Filtered Triple IF Loop Through Frequency Agile Stereo Modulator

Specifications and Documentation

The PDI-60MS is a PLL synthesized, SAW filtered, frequency agile stereo modulator. It offers 138 TV channels at an output of 60dBmV. This exceptional unit is manufactured and tested to the highest standards and complies with all FCC requirements. The PDI-60M covers all cable channels from 2 through 134 (54-860MHz) including A-5 to A-1 and HRC. Channel selection is accomplished with “user friendly” up/down controls on the front panel. The selected channel is then automatically locked into memory to insure correct operation after a power failure. For flexibility in operation the PDI-60MS has three IF loops.
