General Description:

The Telex Model TR-825 Beltpack Transmitter/Receiver(s) is a component
of the BTR-800 Wireless Intercom System. The TR-825 is intended for use
as a belt worn wireless mobile intercom radio for use in a professional installation such
as television or cinema production.

14-36 and 38-59).

The TR-825 transmitter operates on a single frequency within the above range and the
receivers operate on two frequencies contained within an 18 MHz wide section of the
above frequency range.

Typical transmitter conducted output Power is 50 mW. The TR-825 transmit power is
automatically reduced when the unit is close-in to the base station to aid in
intermodulation reduction and unnecessary transmit power.

select special operating frequencies within 18 MHz wide allotments.

The talk buttons on the top panel can be switch selected to operate in the
Push-to-Talk mode or the Push-to-Transmit mode.

top panel.

Transmit and Receive antennas are attached to the TR-825. Either or both antennas can
be unscrewed for field replacement but are not coaxial connectors.

The TR-825 beltpack can be powered by AA Alkaline or a Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery
