Channel Selection

It is important to choose channels that are free from interference to achieve proper operation of your Listen equipment. This process is trial and error. Before turning on the transmitter, listen to the wide band channels on the receivers (channels 1-6). Listen to the audio through the headphone or via the speaker and choose a channel with the least amount of interference. Unless you are interfacing with an existing narrowband transmission system, always use a wide band channel.

If you are using multiple channels follow this process:

1.Same Space: If you are using multiple transmitters in the same space, the most number of channels that will work simultaneously is six at 150 MHz. With all of the transmitters off, listen for interference on all the wide band channels via the headphone jack on a Listen receiver. Using the frequency chart on page 15, eliminate any channels that have noticeable interference. Now choose the channels with the widest channel spacing. It is

recommended that adjacent channels be spaced at least 300kHz.

2.Distributed Spacing: If you are using transmitters that are spread out over space, you can achieve more simultaneous broadcast channels. However, it is critical that your receiver(s) be located as close to its transmitter as possible. You can use adjacent channels (see frequency chart on page 15) in this case as long as the adjacent channel transmitter is at least 50% further away from the receiver as its transmitter.

It is highly recommended that after channel selection has been achieved, you lock the channel so that it cannot be changed by the user. To accomplish LOCK on the LT-800, press the “UP” button for 3 seconds. Repeat the process to unlock.

Wide Band Recommendation Listen recommends that you always use a wide band channel unless you need to be compatible with existing narrow band receivers from other manufacturers. Wide band channels have lower noise than their narrow band counterparts.

150 MHz

The LT-800-150 MHz operates on 6 wide band channels and 26 narrow band channels.

•1 - 6 = Wide Band Channels

•7 - 32 = Narrow Band Channels
