Transmitters and Receivers

Oscillators

3C1 Recall that the oscillator in a simple transmitter sets the frequency on which the transmitter operates.

So where is the oscillator in a radio transmitter. it is located in the Frequency Gen and by doing so cause interference to other or stage which can also be called the Oscillator Stage. and this sets the frequency upon which the Transmitter operates

Recall that incorrect setting of this stage can result in operation outside the amateur band and interference to other users.

As this stage sets the operating frequency and error here or incorrect setting by the operator could result in an RF signal radiating outside the prescribed Amateur Radio Band as set out in your licence and thereby cause interference to other radio spectrum users.
