DISPLAY
This is the first menu displayed after power up
Status of Transmission:
OFF:
RF transmission is OFF
ST-BY [Stand-by]:
It is the status of the transmitter after the power on when “TX Start” menu is set to
MUTE. The transmitter sends the carrier with an auxiliary tone (@28kHz) without the
audio (The TX occupies the channel) MRK980 receiver puts in MUTE the audio output
A X icon is showed to indicate that the audio is muted
ON-AIR:
RF transmission is active with audio and an auxiliary sub-tone. According to the pushed
button the auxiliary sub-tone is different and the display show a different icon:
o T when Talk button is pushed (sub-tone@ ̴33kHz)
o 1 when Lazy 1 button is pushed (sub-tone@ 32687 Hz*)
o 2 when Lazy 2 button is pushed (sub-tone@ 32869 Hz*)
o 3 when Lazy 3 button is pushed (sub-tone@ 33013 Hz*)
*Standard Wisycom sub-tone. Other sub-tones can be configured in Wisycom factory
In the Talk mode, just press the Talk button once and the transmission remains active until
the button is pressed again. In Lazy mode, on the other hand, it is necessary to hold down
the Lazy buttons to keep the transmission active.
Wisycom receiver MRK980 detects the sub-tones and pass this information to the mixer
(via Ethernet / Ember + protocol). From the mixer it is therefore possible to configure the
audio routing.

RF menu:
Thanks to the RF menu is possible to configure all the RF parameters
related to the transmission.
Freq. menu:
In this menu current channel/group and frequencies can be setup.
Channel frequency (in 5kHz step)
Group number (1 to 40) and group name (8 char.)
Channel number (0 to 60)
Max power allows at set frequency
Use the selector and arrows to change values and SAVE to confirm.
Sync group is a quick self-settable channel synchronized by receiver (with SYNC group, on the top
right of the display is shown the name of the synchronized receiver).
NOTE:
The device has 40 groups of 60 channels each. Connecting with computer with WISYCOM MANAGER
software, it is possible to hide single channels or even complete groups of channels: once hidden
those items are not shown anymore on the channels or groups selection. To show channels or
groups hidden use again the WISYCOM MANAGER software.
Using this software it is also possible to lock channels or groups. When a channel is locked, it is not
possible to change the frequency from the front panel of the device. Locking a group means that all
channels are locked. When a channel or a group are locked, at the left of the group name will appear
a lock icon as shown thus changing frequency is not possible.
Power:
RF power can be set in 3 levels: Low, Mid and High.
These 3 levels can be configured by the user with WISYCOM MANAGER.
Factory pre-configured values in Wisycom are: Low 100mW, Mid 300mW and High 1000mW.
Modulation Bandwidth:
Select the type of modulation bandwidth:
WB (Wideband) : 40kHz of nominal deviation, 56kH of peak deviation and 50÷21kHz of AF
bandwidth
RPU500-Tx User Manual
10
NB (Narrowband) : 35kHz of nominal deviation, 25kH of peak deviation and 50÷17kHz of
AF bandwidth
TX Start:
It is possible to select 3 startup modes:
OFF: RF output remains OFF. To activate the transmission, select the Talk or Lazy buttons.
MUTE: activates a specific tone at 28kHz which engages the channel (no audio) which is
recognized by the MRK980 receiver and mutes the audio output
TALK: immediately activates transmission (send audio and tone at 33kHz). A lock icon
appears on the display to inform the user that Talk and Lazy buttons are locked.
TALK + LAZY: immediately activates transmission (send audio and tone at 33kHz). A lock
icon appears on the display to inform the user that Talk button is locked. The Lazy buttons
(1,2 and 3) are active and follow the settings defined on the “Buttons” menu.
The choice of one of these modes is instantaneous (no need to restart the device)
Pwr profile:
Wisycom pre-configure a Power Profile in the memory of the device which automatically limit the RF
level and/or the frequency ranges according to the county specification.
With NONE Pwr profile, no limit is configured.
Buttons menu:
Buttons menu allows to configure the behavior of the Talk button, Lazy buttons and Function (FN)
button.
Talk and Lazy buttons can be configured in:
OFF: when pressed no action is triggered
Temp: transmission active as long as the button is held down (temporary)
Latch: pressed once activates transmission, pressed again disables transmission
Function (FN) button can be configured in:
OFF: no function
Mic gain: active the “Audio> Mic gain” menu
AUX gain: active the “Audio> AUX gain” menu
In mix: active the “Audio> Input mix” menu

Aux con.:
To set jack 3.5mm audio connector as auxiliary input or as headphone output.
Aux gain:
To adjust audio level on the auxiliary input (from 0 to 40 dB, 2 dB step)
Input mix:
To define audio inputs and mix different audio sources
(MIC/AUX/REC/MIC+AUX/MIC+REC/AUX+REC)
Compander:
To select audio compander. Firmware version v1.0 supports only ENS compander. Other
companders will be available very soon.
Options menu:
Thanks to the Option menu is possible to verify:
