5. 70cms for 9k6 packet radio We are not packet radio users but we re told that 9k6 is not possible because the varicap based automatic RF tracking system inside the FM1200 will faithfully counteract any frequency change beyond normal deviation caused by modulation signals 1k2 packet radio is possible without problems using a modem hooked up to the microphone connector 4 Other stations tell me my deviation is too low how can l adjust it They are probably listening in 25 kHz bandwidth If yours is an S FM1200 examine the type number then you can rely on it that the peak deviation has been accurately set to 2 5 kHz by the factory as required for 12 5 kHz channel Spacing Similarly the R radio will produce 4 0 kHz peak deviation and may in rare cases require some reduction if used on 12 5 kHz spaced nets Open up the microphone and check electret microphone front is clean and element is properly seated in its holder 5 Does your conversion defeat the Philips PDP and CDP programming tools Yes Having converted the radio it will no longer recognize the PDP or CDP 6 Is your firmware and displayware suitable for 4 metre E0 band FM1000 s No it is not The EO band version of the FM1100 1200 radio is extremely rare in the Netherlands An update may be developed in the future 7 Ils your firmware and displayware suitable for FM1000 s with a basic or standard console Rh No it is not The text and graphi
