 3/10/2003

The Marti STL-20C/M Transmitters with companion R-15C/R-10 Receivers, form a high quality FM,
synthesized, point-to-point, line of sight, radio communications link. The STL-20C is frequency agile up to 50 MHz
in most models. In standard applications, it allows transmission of composite or mono audio. The STL-20M is a
single-channel STL and allows transmission of mono audio only. Complex systems can be built from basic STL-
20C/M transmitters and R-15C/R-10 receivers having multiple relay (repeaters), bi-directional (full duplex), and
automatic switching standby features. Each STL-20C and STL-20M STL transmitter is offered in a wide range of
band models. Refer to the SPECIFCATIONS & ORDERING section for a listing of available frequency ranges
and power models.

The STL-20C/M transmitters are each equipped with a wide-band power amplifier producing a radiated RF
output power that is adjustable (from the front panel) up to 30 watts in most bands. Unlike older STL models, the
power amplifier combined with the wide-band synthesizer benefit the user in that no RF tuning is required. The
internal gain stages are pre-matched for optimum performance and stability across the entire band.

The STL-20C/M transmitters operate from 110-120 VAC or 220-240 VAC (manually switched internally),
50/60 Hz. The transmitters can also operate on 12-15 VDC or 15-30 VDC battery or external supply. A meter and
selector switch are provided for monitoring forward and reverse power, PA current, sub-level, and power supply
voltage. Other front panel indicators include a peak-hold bar graph modulation meter, TRANSMIT, AFC LOCK, HI
VSWR, and HI TEMP LED’s.

STL-20C/M Features:
· Up to 30 Watts output power – adjustable from front panel
· No internal RF tuning required
· Very wide-band – up to 50 MHz in most models
· Peak-hold bar graph modulation meter
· Swiching Power Supply operates on any AC voltage from 110-120 VAC or 220-240
VAC (manually switched internally), 50/60 Hz
· LED’s indicate High VSWR, Over-Temperature, AFC Lock, and Transmit
· External 12-15 VDC or 15-30 VDC supply capability and external transmit control
· Two subcarrier inputs
· High speed µ-controller to perform the following additional features:
· Power held constant over frequency, temperature, and voltage
· Hi PA temp and VSWR warning indicators
· Auto frequency re-lock due to power outage
· Auto shutdown due to very high PA temp – auto recover after cool down
· Auto shutdown due to open/short-output – auto recover

The STL-20C Offers the Following Additional Features:

· Frequency agile up to 50 MHz – Dial in frequency direct using internal control board
· Can select composite or mono audio (STL-20M is mono only)
· Digital stereo audio (requires external modems)
· Multi-channel audio or data (requires external MUX)
· Digital data (requires external modems)

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This equipment must be operated in a well-ventilated rack cabinet.

Install rack-mounted equipment in a well-ventilated, well-grounded, and

shielded rack cabinet. Do not locate solid-state equipment in a rack above tube-
type equipment, which produces high temperatures.
Problems can also be avoided by locating this unit away from other equipment,
which has transformers that produce strong magnetic fields. These fields can
induce hum and noise into the Marti equipment thus reducing performance.
Strong radio frequency (RF) fields should be avoided where possible. Extensive
shielding and filtering has been incorporated into this equipment to permit
operation in moderate RF environments. All equipment racks, cabinets, etc.
should be bonded together by wide copper grounding strap to ensure that all
system elements are at RF ground potential.

Transmitter Connections for Composite Stereo Operation

(STL-20C only)
(Refer to FIGURE 1 - Composite & Dual Channel Stereo STL System Block Diagram)
1. The composite signal output from a stereo generator is connected to the BNC jack labeled J2 COMPOSITE IN.
The input impedance is 5K ohms and the composite signal level should be 3 volts peak-to-peak or approximately 1
volt RMS. The final level adjustment is set for 100% peak modulation indication on the PEAK MODULATION bar
graph meter on the front panel.
2. A subcarrier generator or remote control (operating above 92 KHz) can be connected to J1 or J3 SUBCARRIER
jack. The ability of the STL-20C system to transmit subcarriers depends upon the channel bandwidth available. The
R-15C receiver IF filter selectivity must be compatible with the available interference free channel bandwidth. Using
50 KHz deviation for 100% modulation, the approximate bandwidth required for various subcarriers follows:
Subcarrier Receiver IF
Frequency Bandwidth (3dB)
67 KHz 234 KHz
92 KHz 284 KHz
110 KHz 320 KHz
180 KHz 460 KHz
Actual bandwidth may require an additional 10% to 15% to allow for the modulation on the subcarrier itself.
With the severe STL channel crowding with resulting interference prevalent around large markets, subcarriers above
110 KHz are not recommended.

3. The Accessory Terminal Bus Board or the J4 Accessory D-sub Connector has several uses such as remote
control, automatic switching, and external DC power. The Accessory Terminal Bus Board contains all the power and
signal interface connections via the 16-pin terminal bus. The appropriate connections are labeled on the board. To

7
 3/10/2003

access the J4 Accessory D-sub Connector, the Accessory Terminal Bus Board must be removed. See FIGURE 2 -
J4 Accessory Wiring Diagram, for illustration on how to hook-up.

4. Connect STL transmitting antenna coax to J6 ANTENNA. This requires a type N male connector. A short
flexible jumper (20" max.) may be used between J6 and semi-flexible coax. Marti Part No. 585-017 double
shielded, low-loss RG 214/U jumper is recommended.

5. Turn transmitter off. Connect AC line receptacle on back of the transmitter to a 115-volt AC (or 230-volt AC if
requested at time of order) power source with special cord set supplied. USE ONLY 3-PRONG GROUNDED
OUTLET RECEPTACLES FOR SAFETY.

WARNING
This equipment must be operated with a 3-prong, grounded, 115 volt or 230 volt, AC outlet receptacle!
Failure to use a properly grounded outlet could result in a safety hazard or faulty equipment performance!

Transmitter connections for Monophonic operation (STL-20C

or STL-20M)
(Refer to FIGURE 1 - Composite & Dual Channel Stereo STL System Block Diagram)

1. Monophonic program audio input (balanced) is connected to terminals 1 and 2 on the Accessory Terminal Bus
Board (located on the back panel of the STL-20C/M). The audio input can also be connected directly to the J4
ACCESSORY D-sub connector pins 4 and 5 by removing the Accessory Terminal Bus Board. See FIGURE 2 - J4
Accessory Wiring Diagram for illustration of how to hook-up audio inputs to the J4 ACCESSORY D-sub
connector. Use shielded wire. Program audio level required is +8 dBm, 600 ohms balanced and isolated from
ground. For dual channel stereo repeat instructions at second transmitter. Audio processing requirements will be
discussed in the OPERATION section of this manual.

2. Connect a remote control or subcarrier generator (modulator) to the jack marked, J1 or J3 SUB IN. The
subcarrier source may be 50 to 5K ohms impedance, and the input level required is approximately one (1) volt RMS.
Systems factory supplied with 250 KHz IF bandwidth will carry subcarriers up to 92 KHz. For other subcarrier
frequencies or narrow IF bandwidth systems contact the factory. A second subcarrier generator can be connected to
J3. If a dual channel stereo STL is used connect one subcarrier generator to J1 or J3 on each channel's transmitter.

3. The Accessory Terminal Bus Board or the J4 Accessory D-sub Connector has several uses such as remote
control, automatic switching, and external DC power. The Accessory Terminal Bus Board contains all the power and
signal interface connections via the 16-pin terminal bus. The appropriate connections are labeled on the board. To
access the J4 Accessory D-sub Connector, the Accessory Terminal Bus Board must be removed. See FIGURE 2 -
J4 Accessory Wiring Diagram, for illustration on how to hook-up.

4. Connect STL transmitting antenna coax to, J6 ANTENNA. This requires a type N male connector. A short
flexible jumper (20" max.) may be used between J6 and semi-flexible coax. Marti Part No. 585-017 double
shielded, low-loss RG-214/U jumper is recommended.

5. For dual channel stereo, use only Marti Part No. 585-017 double shielded, low-loss RG-214/U jumpers,
between J6 of each transmitter and the indicated connectors of the HRC-10 Series Combiners. Use a third Marti
Part No. 585-017 jumper between the ANTENNA connector of the HRC-10 and the semi-rigid coax. Refer to
FIGURE 1 - Composite & Dual Channel Stereo STL System Block Diagram.

ANTENNAS
The following suggestions are offered to help those responsible for antenna installations avoid costly
errors in assembly and adjustment. Marti Electronics, Inc. assumes no responsibility for the installation and
performance of antenna systems associated with its equipment. The following suggestions are not intended to
be a complete step-by-step procedure, simply a listing of some of the most frequently reported errors in
antenna system installation.

Antenna Assembly
Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. If no instructions were included with the antenna, call or write
the antenna manufacturer for instructions. Errors are frequently made in assembly of the RF feed dipole elements,
which must be installed in the same plan as the reflector grids. In other words, if the reflector grid elements are
horizontal, then the feed dipole elements must also be horizontal. Cross polarization of grid and feed dipole will
result in total loss of antenna gain!

Transmission Line Connector Assembly

Do not use RG-58 U or RG-8 U cable for STL station antennas! They have too much loss at VHF and UHF
frequencies. Follow the instructions furnished by the manufacturer when cutting coaxial cable. Inspect the cable
ends for small metal fragments, which can short-circuit the line inside the connector assembly. Check the line for a
short-circuit condition after each connector is installed by using an ohmmeter. Pressurized line should be checked
for several days under pressure before installation on a tower to ensure that there are no leaks in the line or fittings

Moisture Proofing Coax Connectors and Fittings

Extreme care must be exercised with coaxial cable before and after connectors have been installed to ensure that
moisture does not enter the line. Foam dielectric line can take on moisture absorption, which is difficult to detect
and remedy. Therefore, keep the line dry while in storage with ends tightly capped. Coaxial splices, connectors, and
fittings, to be located outside should be made mechanically tight, then coated with a weather-proofing material over
at least two layers of vinyl plastic electrical tape. Moisture problems in antenna systems are usually traced back to
connectors which have NOT been properly taped. The Marti K-1 Grounding and Weatherproofing Kit is
recommended for use in each new antenna installation.

Location and Grounding of Coaxial Cable

Keep the STL receiver coaxial cable as far from the broadcast transmitter and its coaxial cable as possible. DO
NOT STRAP RECEIVER CABLE TO THE MAIN ANTENNA CABLE AT ANY POINT. PLACE THE
RECEIVER ANTENNA COAXIAL CABLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE TOWER FROM THE MAIN
ANTENNA CABLE. Maintain maximum separation between these cables at all points, including the distance from
tower base to transmitter building as well as inside the building.

System Grounding
It is essential that the STL antenna system be properly grounded for safety and proper operation.

Antenna Installation and Adjustment

The polarization of the transmit and receive antennas of the STL system must be the same! This means that if the
transmitting antenna is horizontal, the receiving antenna must also be horizontal. Each antenna should be attached to
the tower to allow for final adjustment in azimuth heading and vertical tilt. After visual adjustment of the antennas,
the transmitter and receiver can be used to make the final adjustments of the antennas. With the transmitter driving
one antenna, the receiver antenna is adjusted for maximum signal (indicated on the receiver) in both horizontal and
vertical directivity. CAUTION: Antennas have a “major” and several “minor” lobes in their directivity patterns. A
common error is to peak the antenna on a minor lobe, resulting in a signal level of only a fraction of the major lobe

12
 3/10/2003

signal. This error can be avoided only by swinging the antenna through a large angle so that all lobes are evaluated
and the major lobe clearly determined. After one antenna is adjusted, the transmitter and receiver locations are
reversed, to allow adjustment of the other antenna. If a RF wattmeter is available, each antenna and transmission line
can be checked for VSWR when the transmitter is supplying power to it. The VSWR should be less than 1.5 to 1
(1.5:1). IF THE ANTENNA SYSTEM FAILS TO GIVE THE PREDICTED SIGNAL STRENGTH LEVEL,
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS SHOULD BE CHECKED:
1. Check for correct assembly of antenna.
2. Check that antennas have same polarity.
3. Check orientation of antennas in both horizontal and vertical directions.
4. Check VSWR of both transmit and receive antennas. VSWR should be less that 1.5:1.
5. Check Fresnel zone clearance along radio path.
6. Check for obstructions in the path such as trees and man-made structures. Do NOT depend on maps or aerial
photographs.

CAUTION & WARNING

YOU CAN BE KILLED IF AN ANTENNA COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRIC POWER LINES OR
EXPOSED ELECTRICAL WIRING. FOR YOUR SAFETY USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN INSTALLING
ANTENNAS. KEEP AWAY FROM POWER LINES.

OPERATION
Quick Start
Connect up the STL-20C/M to the proper antenna. Next, plug in the STL-20C/M to an AC receptacle (there is no
power switch). The front panel meter light will immediately come on. Within 5 seconds the AFC LOCK LED will
begin flashing indicating that the synthesizer is in the process of locking on a frequency. Also, if the TRANSMIT
switch is on, the red TRANSMIT LED will flash in unison with the AFC LOCK LED. During power up, the
synthesizer will always lock on the frequency it was locked on to when the STL-20C/M was last powered up.

Within seconds the synthesizer locks on frequency and the AFC LOCK LED will immediately stop flashing and
stay on solid green. If the TRANSMIT switch is on, about 3 seconds later the TRANSMIT LED will stop flashing
and stay on solid red, and then the STL-20C/M will begin transmitting RF power at whatever setting the POWER
ADJUST pot is at. If the TRANSMIT switch is off the TRANSMIT LED will be off. When the operator turns the
TRANSMIT switch on, the TRANSMIT LED will come on solid red and the STL-20C/M will begin transmitting.

If the operator is not sure what frequency the STL-20C/M will transmit on, see the Frequency Measurement
sub-section in the CALIBRATION AND ADJUSTMENTS section.

To change the frequency, refer to the Changing Output Frequency Direct or Changing (Recalling) Output
Frequency via Channel Select sub-sections in this section.

ANTENNA Connection
Connection of various antenna systems is covered under INSTALLATION and ANTENNAS sections. It is
only necessary for the operator or announcer to see that the ANTENNA connector is tight and that the antenna is
clear of objects which may affect its radiation efficiency.

CAUTION & WARNING

THE ANTENNA CONNECTOR IS A TYPE “N” FEMALE CONNECTOR AND

REQUIRES A MATING TYPE “N” MALE CONNECTOR.

PLUGGING IN A “UHF TYPE (PL-259 OR SO-239)” INTO THE ANTENNA

CONNECTOR WILL DAMAGE AND SHORT OUT THE ANTENNA CONNECTOR.
THIS COULD BURN UP THE PA MODULE AND OTHER INTERNAL COMPONENTS.

Transmit-Off Switch
This toggle switch turns on or off the RF output power of the transmitter. The red light above this switch is a
visual indication that the switch is in TRANSMIT position. The audio circuits, the 13.5 volt regulated power supply
and the meter illumination lamps remain on when the TRANSMIT switch is OFF.

Test Meter
The TEST METER, with its selector switch, allows monitoring of five important parameters within the
transmitter as follows:

1. When switched to FORWARD POWER, the meter indicates the RF power output of the STL-20C/M transmitter.
The maximum power is 20 Watts (18 Watts nominal).

2. When switched to REFLECTED POWER, the TEST METER indicates the amount of power returning on the
coaxial line from the antenna. This is useful in determining the VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) for the
antenna system. The lower the VSWR for a given forward power, the better. Most antennas guarantee a VSWR
of less than 1.5 to 1.

The table below gives VSWR for various reflected powers:

Forward Reflected
Power Power VSWR
10 Watts (890-960 MHz) 0.3 watts 1.40
10 Watts (890-960 MHz) 0.4 watts 1.50
10 Watts (890-960 MHz) 0.5 watts 1.57
10 Watts (890-960 MHz) 0.7 watts 1.70
10 Watts (890-960 MHz) 1.0 watts 1.90
15 watts (140-480 MHz) 0.3 watts 1.35
15 watts (140-480 MHz) 0.4 watts 1.40
15 watts (140-480 MHz) 0.5 watts 1.45
15 watts (140-480 MHz) 0.7 watts 1.55
15 watts (140-480 MHz) 1.0 watts 1.70

3. SUB LEVEL - Indicates subcarrier injection. 0 VU is approximately 10% injection. Subcarrier voltage at J1 or J3
is approximately 0.5 Volt RMS (1.5 V, P-P) for 10%.

4. +13 VOLT SUPPLY - Indicates regulated voltage supply operation. +1.5 VU is approximately 13.5 VDC.

5. P.A. CURRENT - The current of the final amplifier and its driver is calibrated to read "0 VU" on the meter
corresponding to a maximum rated power output.

LED Indicators (front panel)

1. AFC LOCK light – A solid green LED light is illuminated when the synthesizer VCO is locked on the desired
output frequency. If unlocked, or in the process of being locked the AFC LOCK LED flashes green. RF power
output is inhibited until AFC Lock is achieved. Initial power-up of the transmitter may require several seconds
to achieve AFC Lock.

2. TRANSMIT light – A solid red LED light is illuminated when the STL transmitter is transmitting output power.
If the TRANSMIT switch is on and the STL transmitter is not transmitting output power due to AFC unlock,
frequency change or very high temperature fault, the TRANSMIT LED flashes red. If the TRANSMIT switch is
off the TRANSMIT LED will also be off.

3. HIGH VSWR light – When the STL is operating at a detected VSWR of less than 2, the HIGH VSWR LED is
off and the transmitter can operate up to its maximum power. If the STL internal controller detects a VSWR
measured between 2 and 4, the HIGH VSWR LED flashes red at a slow rate of approximately once a second.
The STL-20C/M will still attempt to transmit the same forward power as if there was no reflected power.

When the internal controller detects a VSWR of greater than 4 but less than 6, the output power will limit to a
maximum of half the rated power (that was set using the MAX PWR pot (R74) located on the synthesizer – see
Maximum Power Adjust in the CALIBRATION AND ADJUSTMENTS section) and the HIGH VSWR LED
will flash red at a rate of twice per second. When the detected VSWR falls less than 4, the output will resume to it’s
previous power setting, the HIGH VSWR LED will flash at a rate of once per second if VSWR greater than 2, and
will turn off if VSWR is less than 2.

When the internal controller detects a VSWR of greater than 6, or detects a reverse power of greater that one-
third the maximum rated output power, the output power will immediately shut off, the TRANSMIT LED will flash
red, and the HIGH VSWR LED will flash rapidly. Every three seconds the controller will attempt to turn on the
transmit output but will again shut down if the conditions have not changed. If this occurs, even if the operator turns
off the TRANSMIT switch, the HIGH VSWR LED will still flash rapidly. The only way to stop the HIGH VSWR
LED from flashing, is to repair the output (i.e., loose connection of output, wrong connector type, wrong cable,
faulty antenna, short circuit cable, etc…), and then turn the TRANSMIT switch on (if it was off), and after 3 seconds
if the controller does not detect a very high VSWR or high reverse power, the transmit output power will come on.

4. HIGH TEMP light – When the STL’s PA is operating at a temperature of less than 85 degrees C the HIGH
TEMP LED will be off. When the internal controller detects a PA temperature between 85 and 100 degrees C,
the HIGH TEMP LED will flash red at a slow rate of approximately once a second. When the internal controller
detects a PA temperature of greater than 100 degrees C, the HIGH TEMP LED will flash red at a fast rate of
approximately twice a second. When this happens the controller will shut down the output power. The output
power will remain shut down and the HIGH TEMP LED will flash red twice a second until the PA temperature
falls to less than 85 degrees C, upon which the STL will resume transmitting to it previously set power.

5. MODE-COMPOSITE/MONO (STL-20C only) - Amber colored LED lights indicate the selected mode of
operation. Jumper plug JP4 on 800-285A20C Audio Processing Board turns on the MONO light; JP3 turns on
the COMPOSITE light.

Peak Modulation Meter

A “peak hold” twelve-segment bar graph display is included on the STL-20C/M transmitter for setting and
monitoring peak STL modulation (composite or mono mode). The five highest LED’s (100% to 250%) have a “peak
hold” feature, which will display an instantaneous peak value for one second. This is a valuable feature when dealing
with pre-emphasized program audio. The procedure for setting peak modulation is to adjust the (mono or composite)
input level into the STL-20C/M until the 100% bar is flashing on audio peaks. The 110% through 250% bars
indicate over-modulation and require a reduction in input level to obtain a 100% peak indication.

Pre-Emphasis Selection (Mono Operation only)

Two programmable jumper plugs, JP5 and JP6, on 800-285A20C/M Audio Processing Board, enable the user to
select 0 µs, 25 µs, 50 µs, or 75 µs pre-emphasis characteristics. The selection of one of these options in the
transmitter requires a corresponding selection of JP9 and JP10 on the receiver (R-15C) Audio Processing Board,
800-294. Refer to DRAWING 800-285A and DRAWING 800-294A for the location of these plugs. The plugs as
shown in the diagrams, are positioned for 75 µs at the factory. 75 µs pre-emphasis and de-emphasis produces the
best threshold noise performance in a FM system.
It does, however, present problems in modulation control. Some users, therefore, may wish to use 50 µs, 25 µs, or
flat processing. AM stations will find flat processing desirable since the STL can be treated as a pair of wires in
proof-of-performance tests without possible overmodulation of the link at high audio frequencies. With 75 µs pre-
emphasis, audio input levels to the transmitter should be reduced 20 dB below 100% modulation when running
frequency response tests to prevent overmodulation at the higher audio frequencies. With a full-quieting RF signal
into the receiver, flat pre-emphasis will produce a system signal-to-noise ratio approximately 6 dB less than 75 µs
pre-emphasis. Received signal levels less than full quieting may produce a difference of as much as 13 dB between
flat and 75 µs pre-emphasis.

Power Adjust Pot

Rotating the POWER ADJUST pot clockwise will increase the output power to its maximum power setting.
Rotating it counter-clockwise will decrease the output power down to 1 or 2 watts.

Changing Output Frequency Direct (STL-20C only)

Remove the top cover. Refer to FIGURE 4 – STL-20C/M Adjustment Locations. To change the frequency of
the STL-20C, the S8 dip-switches on the 800-386A SYNTHESIZER CONTROL board need to be set with switches
1 and 2 in the “ON” position and switches 3 and 4 in the“OFF” position. These positions are the normal default
position and are set at the factory.

When the S8 switches are set as described in the last paragraph, then all that is required is to enter the desired
frequency by setting the FREQUENCY SELECT BCD switches S1 through S7 to the valid frequency and pressing
the EXECUTE pushbutton S9. S1 is the most significant digit and S7 the least significant digit. For example: For an
STL20C-950 model, setting S1=9, S2=5, S3=1, S4=0, S5=1, S6=2, and S7=5 and pressing and releasing the S9
EXECUTE pushbutton switch, the STL-20C will change to the output frequency 951.0125MHz.

In general, if a valid frequency is entered and the EXECUTE pushbutton S9 is pressed and released, then the RF
output power will immediately turn off (if it was on to begin with) and the SYNTHESIZER will go through it’s
normal routine in searching and locking onto the requested frequency. While searching, the AFC LOCK LED will
flash. When the frequency is found, the AFC LOCK LED will stop flashing and illuminate solid green. After three
seconds the TRANSMIT LED will stop flashing and illuminate solid red (assuming the TRANSMIT/STANDBY

18
 3/10/2003

switch is in the TRANSMIT position) and the STL-20C will resume transmitting at the new frequency and at the
same output power it was before leaving the previous frequency.

What is A Valid Output Frequency?

A valid output frequency is defined as a frequency that operates within the model bandwidth and is either a
standard frequency, or is a non-standard frequency that falls within ±.00015% of the requested frequency. A standard
output frequency is one that is divisible by 5 or 6.25 KHz for 450 band models and less, and divisible by 10 or 12.5
KHz for greater than 450 band models. All other frequencies are considered non-standard frequencies. The STL-20C
will lock on all standard output frequencies within a ±.00004% tolerance. The STL-20C will lock on about 95% of
all non-standard frequencies. The tolerance of these frequencies fall within ±.00015% of the requested frequency. If
the synthesizer determines that the non-standard frequency will fall outside ±.00015% of the requested frequency,
then this is considered an invalid frequency. Also, an invalid frequency is one that does not fall within the model
bandwidth.

If an invalid frequency is entered in, or if the same frequency that the STL-20C is currently locked on to is
entered in, then the STL-20C will remain at its current frequency and current RF output power, i.e., nothing will
happen.

Changing (Recalling) Output Frequency via Channel Select –

(STL-20C only)
The frequency can also be changed by entering a channel number that was previously stored with a frequency.
See the Storing Output Frequencies into Channels sub-section for instructions on how to store frequencies. There
are ten channels available for storing and recalling frequencies. These ten channels are preset with default or
customer requested frequencies at the factory.

To change frequency via channel select, remove the top cover and set the S8 dip-switches on the 800-386A
SYNTHESIZER CONTROL board (see FIGURE 4 – STL-20C/M Adjustment Locations) with switches 1 and 2
in the “ON” position and 3 and 4 in the “OFF” position. These are the default positions and are in the same position
as when changing the frequency direct.

Now you’re ready to enter the channel. This is done by setting digits S1 thru S6 of the FREQUENCY SELECT
BCD switches equal to zero. Then set digit S7 to the channel of choice (0 thru 9). After entering the channel, press
the S9 EXECUTE pushbutton down and then release. The SYNTHESIZER will change to the frequency that was
stored in the channel. Re-install the top cover.

Storing Output Frequencies into Channels (STL-20C only)

The STL-20C must be locked on a frequency before entering that frequency into one of the ten available
channels. It is not necessary, however, that the STL-20C be transmitting, hence the TRANSMIT/STANDBY switch
can be in STANDBY.

First, remove the top cover. Change the STL-20C to the output frequency to be stored, either directly or via
channel select. Set the S8 dip-switches located on the 800-386A SYNTHESIZER CONTROL board (see FIGURE 4
– STL-20C/M Adjustment Locations) as follows: Switches 1, 3, and 4 set to the “OFF” position and switch 2 set to
the “ON” position.

Next, set the FREQUENCY SELECT BCD switches S1 thru S6 on the 800-386A SYNTHESIZER CONTROL
board equal to zero. Then set S7 to the channel of choice (0 thru 9) to be stored. After entering the channel, press the
EXECUTE pushbutton S9 down and then release. The current frequency-in-lock will be stored in the selected
channel and the STL-20C will remain at its current frequency. If you need to store more channels, repeat the steps in
the last two paragraphs.

19
 3/10/2003

Finally, put the S8 dip-switches back to where they were, i.e., switches 1 and 2 in the “ON” position and
switches 3 and 4 in the “OFF” position. Re-install the top cover.

It would be a good idea to test the stored channel(s) by changing the frequency to some other frequency and then
recalling the stored channel(s).

Control Switch Settings (STL-20C only)

Control Switch Settings enable or disable important controls used in the STL-20C only. These control settings
include the following:

Power Adjust Pot

Hi VSWR Foldback
Reverse Power Calibration
Forward Power Calibration
Hi Temperature Shutdown
Direct Frequency Change
Channel Frequency Change

Refer to FIGURE 4 – STL-20C/M Adjustment Locations and TABLE 1 - Control Switch Settings
Command for disabling or enabling the desired controls. Remove the top cover. On the 800-386A
SYNTHESIZER CONTROL board, set the internal dip-switch S8 switches and the FREQUENCY SELECT
BCD switches (S1-S7) as outlined in Figure (5). The entries in BOLD are default settings from the factory

When all FREQUENCY SELECT BCD switches have been set to their required values that correspond to the
desired control switch setting, you must send the command by pressing the EXECUTE pushbutton S9 down and
then releasing. The internal controller will enable or disable the control. Set the internal dip-switch S8 back to
its normal position with switch 1 and 2 “ON” and switch 3 and 4 “OFF”. Re-install the top cover.

Following is a description of the control settings:

Power Adjust Pot – The default for this setting is “enabled” which allows the user to change the power from
almost 0 Watts to the maximum RF output power setting via the front panel POWER ADJUST pot. Refer to the
Maximum Power Adjust sub-section in the CALIBRATION AND ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual
for information on how to set the maximum power. If this user “disables” this setting, then the RF output power
will maintain where last set and tuning of the POWER ADJUST pot will have no effect.

Hi VSWR Foldback – The default for this setting is “enabled”. This means when a VSWR is detected greater
than 4, the power will limit to half the maximum power setting. If VSWR foldback is “disabled”, then the
forward RF power will not try to foldback, even when the controller detects a VSWR of greater than 4. The
HIGH VSWR LED will still flash however. For maintaining long life from the power amplifier, it is not
recommended to disable VSWR Foldback.

Reverse Power Calibration – The default setting for this setting is “disabled”. This setting should only be
“enabled” during calibration (see the Reverse Power Calibration sub-section in the CALIBRATION AND
ADJUSTMENTS section).

Forward Power Calibration – The default setting for this setting is “disabled”. This setting should only be
“enabled” during calibration (see the Forward Power Calibration sub-section in the CALIBRATION AND
ADJUSTMENTS section).

20
 3/10/2003

Hi Temperature Shutdown – The default for this setting is “enabled”. See the LED Indicators (front panel)
sub-section in this section for complete description of high temperature shutdown. If “disabled”, then the power
amplifier will not shutdown due to high temperature but the HIGH TEMP LED will still flash. Again, for
maintaining long life from the power amplifier, it is not recommended to disable High Temperature Shutdown.

Direct Frequency Change – The default for this setting is “enabled” to be able to change the output frequency
direct. If “disabled”, the internal controller will ignore attempting to change the output frequency. This setting is
useful for locking out anyone from changing frequencies, or to change frequencies only via user programmed
channels.

Channel Frequency Change – The default for this setting is “enabled” to be able to change the output frequency
by channel select. If “disabled”, the internal controller will ignore attempting to change the output frequency by
selecting channels.

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TESTS

The STL-20C/M transmitter, R-15C/R-10 receiver with the associated antenna system can be tested and com-
pared with factory test data included in this manual. The following procedures should be followed in order to obtain
reliable and accurate results.
Before audio tests or subcarrier tests are begun check the receiver “SIG. LEVEL” METER for required minimum
signal. A conversion from VU to microvolts is given in the OPERATION section in the R-15C/R-10 receiver
manual. For a 950 MHz. system using 50 KHz FM deviation, typical noise levels in Composite Mode are:

10 mv for 50 dB S/N ratio

63 mv for 60 dB S/N ratio
80 mv for ultimate S/N ratio

(Demodulated left or right channel de-emphasized and low-pass filtered.)

For the above system with 20% subcarrier injection, the following noise level on the subcarrier (Marti SCG-10 -
SCD-10 System) was measured: (no modulation main or sub)

10 µv for 40 dB Subcarrier S/N ratio

20 µv for 47 dB Subcarrier S/N ratio
30 µv for 50 dB Subcarrier S/N ratio
150 µv for ultimate Subcarrier S/N ratio

With ultimate S/N ratio, main to sub crosstalk should be -40 to -45 dB (using Marti SCG-10 - SCD-10 Subcarrier
System).

NOISE
(monophonic mode)
Noise measurements should be made first, since high noise levels will influence distortion readings. Also ground
loops in the audio oscillator to transmitter connections and distortion analyzer to receiver connections must be
resolved before testing begins. The influence of high RF fields upon the test equipment must be determined and
corrected before accurate measurements can be made. NOTE: NOISE AND DISTORTION MEASUREMENTS
ARE MADE WITH SUBCARRIER AND REMOTE CONTROL INPUT SIGNALS REMOVED. System signal to
noise ratio is determined while modulating the transmitter 100% at 400 Hz. A level of +8 dBm across the balanced
audio input terminals of TB-1 will produce a reading of 100% modulation on the “PEAK MODULATION”
indicator. Set Receiver “MONO LEVEL” pot for +10 dBm output into the distortion analyzer. If the distortion
analyzer has a high impedance input, add a 600-ohm load resistor to match the receiver. Establish +10 dBm on the
audio voltmeter of the analyzer as the reference level for 100% modulation. Next, remove the audio signal from the
transmitter input and measure noise level below reference (100% modulation). This reading should compare with
those published under SPECIFICATIONS & ORDERING in this manual.

22
 3/10/2003

DISTORTION
(monophonic mode)
Harmonic distortion is usually measured at 100% modulation and at several frequencies. If pre-emphasis
processing is used in the transmitter with corresponding de-emphasis in the receiver, it is normal for available audio
level at the receiver to drop with increasing frequency according to the de-emphasis curve selected. At 15 KHz, there
is sufficient level to operate most modern distortion analyzers. Distortion levels should be within specifications. If
distortion is out of specs, check system noise, check for test equipment ground loops, RFI, and transmitter/receiver
operating frequency. If either unit is off frequency, the FM modulation sidebands are not centered within the IF filter
bandpass, which can cause audio distortion.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE (monophonic mode)

If the STL-20C/M System is switched to flat processing, frequency response can be measured as if the signal
were being sent over straight wires. If pre-emphasis processing is used (especially 75 µs) allowance must be made
in the transmitter audio input level to prevent over-modulation at test frequencies above 400 Hz. The simplest and
fastest method is to set the transmitter audio input level for 100% modulation at 400 Hz., then attenuate this level 20
dB. Set receiver output level to -10 dBm at the reference, then sweep the audio band for response. Response should
be within the limits listed in SPECIFICATIONS & ORDERING.

COMPOSITE (STEREO) SEPARATION, NOISE, DISTORTION AND

FREQUENCY RESPONSE. (composite mode – STL-20C only)
This procedure consists of feeding a stereo encoder (generator) capable of more than 60 dB separation (50 Hz -
15 KHz) into the composite input of the STL-20C transmitter and connecting a stereo decoder (monitor) to the
composite output of the R-15C receiver. The actual test procedure may vary with different decoders (monitors).
Therefore the procedure prescribed in the decoder (monitor) instruction manual should be followed.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Refer to Block Diagram Drawing No. FIGURE 3 – Composite/Mono STL-20C/M
Transmitter Block Diagram and appropriate Schematic Diagrams.

SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY, 800-383A

The Switching Power Supply accepts input from 110-120 or 220-240 VAC and supplies 15 VDC and up to 10
Amperes to power the STL-20C/M. The power supply must be switched to the appropriate 115 or 230 position. This
is usually done at the factory.

STL TRANSMITTER I/O Board, 800-379ASM

This board passes and distributes external power supply input via the back-panel ACCESSORY connector. It also
passes and directs the TX REM CNTL, and external audio signals. All signals are LC filtered.

STL-20C/M ALARM/LED BOARD, 800-390A (or 800-376A)

This board contains a toggle switch to control the RF output (“OFF” - “ON”) of the transmitter. The synthesizer
for control purposes monitors the state of this switch. This board also includes the TRANSMIT, AFC LOCK, HIGH
VSWR, and HIGH TEMP LED’s. The synthesizer controls the state of these LED’s. Finally, 800-390A boards
includes two digital POTs, one for forward power, the other for reverse. The synthesizer writes digital data to these
POTs corresponding to the forward and reverse power, respectively. The analog output signal of the POTs are fed to
the STL-20C/M meter board for forward and reverse power monitoring. For STL-20C/M transmitters that use the
800-376A board, the forward and reverse analog signal feeding the meter board comes directly from the power
amplifier board.

AUDIO PROCESSING BOARD, 800-285A20C/M

The 800-285A20C/M Audio Processing Board is programmable (by jumper plugs) for composite stereo or
monaural signal processing:

COMPOSITE SIGNAL PATH:

There are two subcarrier inputs and one composite audio input to the Audio Processing Board. The two incoming
subcarrier inputs (SUB 1 and SUB 2) are summed and inverted into one output. The summed signal is then reduced
to 10% injection level. For 800-285A20C boards, the incoming composite (COMPOSITE IN) audio signal is
amplified (by 6 dB) and pre-conditioned (for maximum separation at the receiving end). The reduced subcarrier and
the amplified and pre-conditioned composite audio signals are summed to produce the “MODULATION OUT”
signal.

MONAURAL SIGNAL PATH:

The 600 ohm balanced audio input to the transmitter is connected to the inputs of a unity gain differential
amplifier IC-1A. A potentiometer, R20, is provided for adjusting the amplifier to produce the maximum common
mode rejection (CMR). The output of the differential amplifier is direct-coupled to the pre-emphasis amplifier and
has two capacitors selected by jumpers JP5 and JP6, which provide options of 0, 25, 50 or 75 microseconds pre-
emphasis. Following the pre-emphasis circuit are two stages of active Butterworth low-pass filtering, (IC2A and
IC2B). The signal is fed to IC5A through JP4, then to the modulator. The MOD METER sample is calibrated by
R34.

14.5 VOLT STEP-UP REGULATOR Board, 800-392A

The 800-392A is a DC/DC converter that powers the synthesizer, audio processing boards. It allows the user to
apply an external input voltage (through the 12-15 VDC accessory input pins) as low as 7 VDC and still maintain
14.5 volts to the synthesizer and 10.0 volts to the audio and mixer boards. Therefore, the synthesizer will stay locked
during most power surges and excessive voltage drops. The 800-392A also suppresses any external (or internal)
voltage noise such as an alternator from a running vehicle. As a result, the STL-20C/M still maintains a high signal-
to-noise.

T/R SYNTHESIZER, 800-375AT

The frequency synthesizer consists of a Phase-Locked Loop, a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator, a Pre-scaler, a
Reference Frequency, and a Loop Filter. The PLL is a programmable device with the reference frequency generated
by a crystal oscillator. The loop filter is an active type and the pre-scaler is used to pre-scale the VCO frequency to
make it compatible to the PLL. The audio output from the 800-285A20C/M board is fed into T/R SYNTHESIZER’s
VCO which FM modulates the signal at the final output frequency. This modulated RF output signal is then sent to
the 800-388A board for final amplification.
Included on the T/R SYNTHESIZER board is a high-speed microcontroller. For STL-20C transmitters, the
microcontroller decodes and acts on instructions sent from the 800-386A SYNTHESIZER CONTROL board. The
controller also monitors and regulates forward power, monitors VSWR and PA temperature, performs auto foldback
of power due to high VSWR and then recovers when VSWR lowers, and performs auto shutdown of power due to
very high temp. The controller also detects synthesizer lock and unlocks as well as enabling a fastlock feature for far
frequency changes.

SYNTHESIZER CONTROL BOARD, 800-386A (or 800-377A) –

Used on STL-20C only
This board, with the use of the rotary switches and the pushbutton switch, send the desired instruction with

SYNTHESIZER ADAPTER BOARD, 800-387A – Used on STL-

20M only
This board is simply an adapter between the 800-375A SYNTHESIZER board and external programming board
used at Marti Electronics during programming.

TWO-STAGE RF POWER AMPLIFIER BOARD, 800-388A (or 800-

373A)
The RF output signal (50 mW max) from the T/R SYNTHESIZER is fed into this TWO-STAGE RF POWER
AMPLIFIER board. The RF goes through two stages of RF amplification. The first stage (U2) is a 1-Watt (max) pre-
driver. It has an input and output transformer (T1 and T2) for achieving optimum 50 ohm matching between the
stages. The output of T2 is fed into the final PA module (U3) for amplification.. The signal is then low-passed
filtered through and then fed through a directional coupler for monitoring forward and reflected power. An automatic
level control (ALC) circuit residing on the T/R SYNTHESIZER board stabilizes and maintains an accurate output

power level by comparing it to a reference power level which is set by the user via the front panel POWER ADJUST
pot. The ALC circuit samples the forward power via the coupled forward power on PA board.
This board also provides regulated B+ for powering the PA and the rest of the chassis. Finally, there also exist
circuitry for regulating the fan and monitoring PA current.

METER BOARD, 800-290A

This board monitors the following signals for viewing via the VU meter:
- Forward Power
- Reflected Power
- PA Current
- Sub Level
- B+ Supply

CALIBRATION AND
ADJUSTMENTS
Refer to Location of Adjustments Drawing No. FIGURE 4 – STL-20C/M Adjustment
Locations and appropriate schematic diagrams for each module.

NOTE: For all adjustments the STL-20C/M top cover must be

removed and then re-installed upon completion

Frequency Measurement
The RF output frequency of this transmitter should be measured as often as necessary to insure on-frequency
operation and to comply with regulations. Monitor the RF output with a frequency counter via an RF coupler or Watt
meter.

WARNING

NEVER CONNECT THE FREQUENCY COUNTER DIRECTLY TO THE RF OUTPUT

CONNECTOR OF THE STL-20C/M.

THE FREQUENCY COUNTER SHOULD BE COUPLED OFF OF AN RF COUPLER

OR A WATT METER.

EXCEEDING THE INPUT POWER RATING OF THE FREQUENCY COUNTER

COULD DO INTERNAL DAMAGE TO IT.

Frequency Fine-Tune Adjust

This adjustment has been set at the factory and should NOT require any adjustments.

1. Remove the T/R SYNTHESIZER cover.

2. On the T/R SYNTHESIZER board tweak the FREQ ADJ TCXO (U15) while viewing a frequency counter.
3. Re-install the T/R SYNTHESIZER cover.

Forward Power Front Panel Meter

This adjustment is also made during the FORWARD POWER CALIBRATION adjustment, but it is not
necessary nor is it recommended to perform the FORWARD POWER CALIBRATION adjustment just to
calibrate the FRONT PANEL METER FORWARD POWER.

1. With the STL-20C/M powered on and transmitting, tweak the front panel POWER ADJUST pot fully clockwise
for maximum power out.
2. Turn the front panel knob to FORWARD POWER.

29
 3/10/2003

3. On the 800-290A METER BOARD tweak the FORWARD pot (R8) to correlate the front panel meter to the
Bird Watt Meter.

Reverse Power Front Panel Meter

This adjustment can only be made during the REVERSE POWER CALIBRATION adjustment. If the
REFLECTED pot (R9) on the METER BOARD has not been tweaked, then it is probably not necessary to
perform this adjustment.

PA Current Front Panel Meter

1. With the STL-20C/M powered on and transmitting, tweak the front panel POWER ADJUST pot fully clockwise
for maximum power out.
2. On the METER BOARD measure the voltage across P1 pin 7 and P1 pin 3, with the positive lead on P1 pin 7.
3. Divide this voltage by 0.025. The result is the PA current.
4. Turn the front panel knob to PA CURRENT.
5. On the METER BOARD adjust the CURRENT pot (R10) to set the front panel meter to equal the calculated
current.

Switching Power Supply Voltage Adjustment

The input to the switching power supply can be from 110-120 or 220-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. The DC B+ output,
measured off of one of the red wires of the switching supply, can be slightly adjusted at B+ ADJUST. The
recommended B+ reading should be 13.5 volts.

B+ Adjustment When Using 15-30VDC External Supply

CAUTION

THIS ADJUSTMENT HAS BEEN SET AT THE FACTORY AND SHOULD NOT
REQUIRE ANY FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS.

1. Remove AC line voltage from STL-20C/M.

2. Connect up external supply to the 15-30VDC pins of the Accesorry Terminal Bus Board or the 15-pin D-sub J4
connector as described in the INSTALLATION section.
3. Turn on external supply and adjust to approximately 18 VDC.
4. Using a VOLT METER, with negative lead connected to ground (chassis), connect the positive lead to one of
the red wires connected to the 800-379ASM I/O board.
5. On the TWO-STAGE RF POWER AMPLIFIER board adjust EXTERNAL B+ ADJUST (pot R5) in the
direction required to achieve a B+ reading of 13.0 to 13.5 Volts. This voltage should be adjusted with the
TRANSMIT/STANDBY switch in “STANDBY” position.

WARNING

IF THE 15-30 VOLT SUPPLY IS LESS THAN 16 VOLTS, THE EXTERNAL B+

ADJUST SHOULD BE SET TO 12 VOLTS.

THIS MAY LIMIT THE MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER.

Mono and Composite Audio

This adjustment has been set at the factory and should NOT require any adjustments.

Adjustments for monophonic mode

1. Apply a +8 dBm tone at 60 Hz to the 600 ohm mono input. Move both jumpers from JP3 to JP4 for mono
operation.

2. Adjust R20 for maximum common mode rejection. To do this, short the audio input terminals together and
apply the 60 Hz signal between the audio terminals and ground. Measure the output at P1 - pin 6 and adjust R20 for
minimum output.

3. Connect an audio oscillator to the input terminals for normal operation at +8 dBm, 400 Hz. Plug in jumpers at
JP5 and JP6. Measure the audio level at P1, pin 6. This is the reference level for setting 75 microsecond pre-
emphasis. Next, set the audio oscillator to 15 KHz and reduce the level by 17 dB. Now adjust R24 for the same level
as the 400 Hz. reference. Return to the original oscillator setting at 400 Hz, +8 dBm and the reference level at J1, pin
6 should be the same.

4. With the audio oscillator set to 400 Hz and at +8 dBm output, adjust R34 to calibrate the front panel
modulation meter (LED bar graph) to read 100% modulation.

5. Adjust R63 on the 800-375 T/R Synthesizer board for the proper deviation using a deviation meter. The
deviation setting will depend on the allowable channel bandwidth. Normally it will be set for 50 KHz deviation.

6. Remove jumpers JP5 and JP6 for “flat” operation. Install JP5 ONLY for 25 µvs pre-emphasis. Install JP6
ONLY for 50 µvs pre-emphasis. Install BOTH JP5 and JP6 for 75 µv pre-emphasis.

37
 3/10/2003

Adjustments for composite model (STL-20C only)

1. Move both jumpers from JP4 to JP3 for composite operation.

2. Connect a subcarrier generator to J1 or J3 (rear panel BNC jacks) of the STL-20C. Adjust the output of the
generator so that the TEST METER reads “0 VU” in the SUB LEVEL position. Adjust R42 for 10% injection. R20,
R29, R34, and R42 are factory adjusted, sealed in place, and should not require re-adjustment. R41 is adjusted for
maximum separation at 100 Hz, at the factory, and should not be adjusted.

3. Connect the output of a stereo generator to J2 and adjust its output level until the “100%” LED on the STL-20C
bar graph display flashes. This will be 100% modulation of the STL-20C.
