NEW for 2010
Last update January 2, 2010

We are working on a new 30 Watt 70cm ATV transmitter - TX70-30
Check back here monthly for progress

Frankly, until the economy and demand improves, we will not make a production run of new or current products. You might consider a used product of ours available on eBay or other sources - TC70-10 or -20, etc. Our manufactured ATV products do have a reputation for longevity and we can email to you the manual or data sheet on most. We can repair or service any of the P. C. Electronics packaged gear for $80 plus parts cost - download our Repair Autorization form.

However, we do have stock on the Videolynx VM-70X 5W 70cm transmitter, Z70A and 434 modules to get you on right away. Download our app note on the VM-70X 5 Watt ATV transmitter which includes packaging this module in a die cast aluminum box for home and portable use, or adding a fan for R/C, robot, rocket and balloon applcations.

The Videolynx VM-70X is a compact transmitter module that accepts line level audio and video, 11 to 14Vdc and has adjustable RF output from 0 to 5 Watts on 4 digiswitch selectalbe frequencies - 426.25, 427.25, 434.0 and 439.25 MHz. This app note describes for home or portable use, packaging the VM-70X along with the mic amp and deviation compressor section of the FMA5-G sound board and TR-1b T/R relay boards in a Hammond 1590D (7.4x4.7x2.1") diecast aluminum box. Total cost of the parts list is about $360.

2.4 gHz FM ATV Receiver Now With 16 Channels

The 13FMR-1 receiver now comes with 16 channels. The primary channels - 2398, 2417, 2430 and 2441.5 MHz - used in the USA and in our 1 Watt 2400VH-1 FM ATV transmitter, are still selected by flipping up just one of the 4 front panel digiswitchs to the up position, but if you want one of the other 12, it is a combination of the 4 switches. We programmed in all of the center frequencies we found in the ARRL Repeater Directory and other sources:
2407, 2410, 2413, 1418, 2420, 2425, 2428, 2432, 2433, 2434, 2435 and 2442 MHz
Since FM ATV occupies at least 17 MHz bandwidth, the AFC in the receiver will lock on within a few MHz, but we can program in any other 13cm ham band frequency for $25.

The receiver comes with 12V regulated wall plug power supply (draws 250 mA with 12 to 14 Vdc), SMA whip antenna, A/V cord and SMA male to type N female adaptor. Size .8 x 3.2 x 5 inches and weighs 5oz. Imported and modified by us for the ham band only. Standard sound subcarrier frequency is 5.5 MHz but we can modify for other frequencies for $10 additional. Set up is for 1 Vp-p video out with the US standard 4 MHz deviation and no de-emphasis. You can add pre-emphasis and de-emphasis with our PEK and DEK kit.

13FMR-1 2.4 gHz FM ATV Receiver price is $179
