ETL Systems FN-U-L1F2-24405AA – 70/140 MHz to 850–2450 MHz Upconverter

ETL Systems 70/140 MHz IF to 850–2450 MHz Upconverter

The ETL Systems Falcon FN-U-L1F2-24405AA converts user-selectable 70 MHz or 140 MHz IF signals to 850–2450 MHz, with 1 kHz frequency tuning and nominal −5 to +25 dB variable conversion gain. This hot-swappable, four-slot module requires a compatible GENUS chassis, which provides local and remote control.
