HMT2-458-5
PRELIMINARY
Issue A, 06th February 2013
NBFM Multi-channel 500mW UHF Transmitter
The HMT2 transmitter module offers a
500mW RF output in the UK 458MHz. This
unit is ideally suited to applications where
existing lower powered transmitters
provide insufficient range. The HMT2
transmitter is a multi-channel, narrowband
design, suitable for licensed and
unlicensed UHF allocations. Together with
a matching LMR2 receiver a one-way radio
data link can be achieved over a distance
of well over 5km (with a suitable antenna).

Notes:
1. Serial programming is by an inverted, cmos logic level, 2400 baud RS232 datastream applied to the
P0 pin.
2. Channel select inputs have pullups (50K) to 4v internal rail. Do not exceed 4v logic levels on this
port.
3. Channel select inputs are active low
4. TXE has a 100K pullup to Vcc
5. All pins are on an 0.1" grid
6. Pin 1a supplies the power amplifer. This pin requires a clean, well regulated 5v supply at up to
300mA
Pin 5b supplies the remainder of the module. It can tolerate 4.1-9v and draws up to 100mA
7. A version of the design is available with an LDO regulator in the PA feed.
In this case pin 1a can be supplied from a 6-9v rail too
8. Pinout is compatible with FPX3, SHX1 and UHX1 transceivers, although the case is narrower and
the pins associated with receive functionality are absent.

Serial interface commands
The internal firmware for HMT2 has two versions.
Version 1 is IDENTICAL to our standard LMT2-458-5 (100mW) in all respects
Version 2 is specific to paging applications.
Version 1: programming instruction
2400 baud RS232. 8 bit data, no parity, 1 start bit, 1 or 2 stop bits.
Serial data is sent to the unit on one of the parallel channel select pins (P0). It is very important that the unit
does not 'decode' switch bounce in ordinary operation as a command string, or spurious re-writing of the
e2prom will result. For this reason the user must send the 16 character string ENABLESERIALMODE
(followed by a carriage return) to fully enable the serial command mode before sending any of the command
strings listed below. Command mode is disabled on power down, or on reception of a # character. To
successfully program the unit, n_txe must be 'low' (active) to enable the unit.
GOCHAN aa
LOAD aa nnnnn
SETPAR
SETSER
RVALUE rrrr
SINGLE nnnnn
Serially select channel aa, where aa is ch0 to ch31
Set value of N register for channel aa, where aa is Channels 0 to 31
Channel selected by 4 bit parallel inputs (ch0 to ch15 only)
Channel selected by most recent GOCHAN operation
Set value for R register
Set value of N for single channel operation.

A pause of at least 50ms must be allowed between command strings (EEPROM programming time).
SINGLE mode does not store the N value in EEPROM. Therefore the unit is inoperative after a
power down until either another valid SINGLE command is received, or mode is changed by a
GOCHAN, SETPAR or SETSER command. SINGLE mode is intended for frequency agile
applications.

Version 2: programming instruction
The HMT2 provides 32 individually programmable channels
(As supplied, CH00-CH20 are programmed to 458.8 - 459.3MHz, and channels 21-31 are all set to
461.3MHz)
GOCHAN aa

Notes:
1. A 2400 baud cmos level ‘inverted RS232 format’ (1 start bit, 8 data, 1or 2 stop bits, no parity) is
used.
2. The unit echos all bytes sent back on the P3 output.
Following any successful operation, the bytes OK <cr> are also sent back, when the unit is ready.
3. To successfully program the unit it must be in active state (txe low), so provision should be made to
force the unit into this state while programming (the third pin on the auxiliary programming connector
does this).
4. All commands except the non-volatile TEMP aa initiate an e2prom programming sequence. 50mS
must be left before the next command is sent.
5. These units employs a sub-set of the programming commands used by standard LMT module. (As
the P0 pin is dedicated to serial communication only, the ‘ENABLESERIALMODE’ command string is
NOT required.)
