thenannymoh Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I must be missing the obvious - I'm looking at the SMV "L" transmitter, and for the life of me I can't find in any of the manuals what the L represents, or how it differs from a non-L. Any insights? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonicfruit Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hah! I thought it meant “light” for backlight version, but who am I to question Mr Fisher. Cheers kathryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Regards, Larry Fisher What power would this have been? The original SMV already would have had 50mW - was there an even lower power option available?

Any insights? Thanks! Hi All, Sorry, but I handed out some bad info. L refers to a range of blocks and was forced on us by the FCC. Each range is considered a different transmitter and requires certification as a different unit. This triples the cost of certification and testing compared to previous times. The government bureaucracy continues to grow year after year. Enough ranting. Here's what Karl had to say: <<Hi Larry, That refers to the frequency range, in 3-block groups, something to do with the FCC cert. EL is "extra low" blocks 470, 19, 20 L is "low" blocks 21, 22, 23 M is "mid" blocks 24, 25, 26 -Karl>> In self defense, I wasn't sure so I asked. There are no dumb questions though some do push it. Also, we did have custom units with dialed down power. Best Regards, Larry Fisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, it seems like there is no limit to government bureaucracy insanity. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
