1.0 Description The AES Model 7880-A UHF Data Transceiver permits data to be transmitted in the 421 ~ 470 MHz band of frequencies. The maximum output power is 1 W. The data rate is 9600 baud. The 7880-A interfaces with an embedded microprocessor using a simple 4-wire serial Programming Port. The operating parameters are set by AES approved software. B2.0 Signals The 7880-A has 20 pins, consisting of 2 rows of 10 pins each.

.0 Calibration The 7880-A has a single adjustment – the Crystal Oscillator frequency. In order to adjust the Crystal Oscillator frequency, a suitable frequency counter must be attached to the antenna port. With the 7880-A set to transmit, using Manchester coding, the Crystal Oscillator may be adjusted until the average frequency measured by the frequency counter corresponds to the desired center frequency. The average frequency should be set to within 300 Hz of the desired value.
