INTRODUCTION
Tactical Technologies Inc. (Model number CST801VI), is a 1 channel, .25 watt VHF FM synthesized voice transmitter for law enforcement use. The operating frequency is only a 4 Mhz section from 150 – 174 Mhz due to the narrow band antenna. The unit utilizes an internal antenna and a single internal microphone for transmitter operations. The CST801VI equipped with an optional scrambler for added transmitter security.

Operating Frequencies
The frequencies available on the CST801VI are spaced in 12.5 kHz steps beginning with 150.0000 MHz and ending with 174.0000 MHz. Simply put, “12.5 kHz steps” means your frequency must be in any of the following configurations:
xxx . x000 xxx . x125 xxx . x250 xxx . x375 xxx . x500 xxx . x625 xxx . x750 xxx . x875
This gives the CST801VI
the ability to transmit on any one of 280
available frequencies. Any other frequency selection will result in an error message.
Citation Receivers
Any of Tactical Technologies Inc. Citation Receiver/Recorder kits (Series 20 and higher) are able to program frequency, power, and scrambling settings into the CST801VI. A special Citation Interface Cable, is supplied with the CST801VI
for such an application.
See your TTI representative for more information. If you already own a Citation 20 or higher receiver, programming instructions are found in the Citation Operators Manual.

Range of the CST802VI Transmitter
It is impossible to state absolutes about how far an RF transmitter like the CST801VI
will transmit. Many variables affect the range of a device
including buildings, trees, weather, construction materials, installation, etc. All things being perfect (meaning transmissions are outdoors over flat terrain with no obstructions), a .25 watt CST801VI should be able to easily transmit over a ¼ mile. You should expect less distance than that however, in a real world operation. One of the most important variables, and one that the operator can actually control, is the placement of the receiver and the receiving antenna. A good rule to follow is the higher the antenna placement, the better chance you have of quality reception. This alone will increase your operating range. Just having the CST801VI
in an ideal location is not enough.
