1) With built-in line-side overvoltage protection; more stringent requirements must be covered by additional measures installed on-site.

To comply with the applicable standards and limit values for the suppression of out-of-band emissions (and also for maintaining the required shoulder distance), the transmitter may only be operated with suitable filters at the RF output.
