INTRODUCTION
External extra rugged digital high power VHF radio transceiver programmable in frequency
ranges from 138 to 174 MHz. It has GMSK, DBPSK, DQPSK, 4FSK, D8PSK, and D16QAM
modulations with advanced forward error correction and data scrambling. The output power is
programmable from 320 mW to 35 W.
Figure 1-1. HPT135
It takes incoming data, modulates it with GMSK, FSK, PSK or most spectrum efficient QAM
modulation and transmits it at RF power output levels from 25 dBm up to 45 dBm operating in
VHF frequency band 138 to 174 MHz.
The VHF transceiver is also capable of receiving RF signals through a 50 Ohm impedance
external antenna port. These signals are demodulated and output to the JAVAD GNSS receiver.
HPT135 delivers a reliable radio link at up to 38.4 kbps over the air for the 25 kHz channel
spacing, 19.2 kbps for 12.5 kHz, and 9.6 kbps for 6.25 kHz.
The unmatched features of HPT135 include data scrambling, frequency hopping, user selectable
transmit output power level, low power consumption sleep modes, autoscanning for base.
The unit’ s user settings can be changed through the built-in Command Line interface (CLI), Tracy
Software or through ModemVU.

CONFIGURATION
2.1. Powering HPT 135
To Power the HPT135, you can use the Battery kit 2 (p/n 99-587100-10).
Figure 2-1. Powering HPT435
2.1.1. Power supply requirements
A single external power supply is necessary to o perate HPT135. Th e external power supply needs
to be Listed for US and Certified for EU countries, it needs also to be a Limited Power Source and
rated for Outdoor Use and have an output rated for +12V, 10A. This may not be the same range as
other JAVAD GNSS products with which you are familiar.

AUTION
:
To avoid the introduction of hazards when operating and installing, before connecting of the
equipment to the supply, make sure that the supply meets local and national safety ordinances and matches the equipment’s voltage and current requirements.
C
AUTION
:
Never attempt any maintenance or cleaning of the supply while plugged in. Always remove
supply from AC power before attempting service or cleaning.

Warning:
If the voltage supplied is below the minimum specification, the modem will suspend operation. If the
voltage supplied is above the maximum specification, the modem may be permanently damaged,
voiding your warranty.
Make sure cords are located so that will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or plug –
replace immediately . To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment, pull by the plug body
rather than the output cord when disconnecting the equipment.
Do not operate the supply if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged. Do not disassemble the supply.
Warning:
Before connecting the external power source and the modem, make sure that the power source
matches the modem’s voltage and current requirements.

VHF RADIO USAGE
Many countries require a license for radio users (such as the United States). Be sure you comply
with all local laws while operating a VHF radio.
Surveying in RTK mode has made VHF the most popular choice for communications between
base and rover recei vers. Know the strengths and weaknesses of this technology to get the best use
out of your receiver.
The quality and strength of the VHF signals translates into range for VHF communications.
The system’s range will greatly depend on the local conditions. Topography, local
communications and even meteorological conditions play a major role in the possible range of
RTK communications.
If needed, use a scanner to find clear channels for communication.
