The NL5000 modem has a part number in the form of “NL5000-VHF/LN”
Where:
The NL5000 is followed by the next major frequency band designator:
VHF
220 MHz
UHF
“L” is the Low portion of the sub-band designator:
L=136-162 for VHF and 400-420 for UHF
“H” is the High portion of the sub-band designator:
H=148-174 for VHF, and 450-470 for UHF
“N” designates the channel bandwidth:
S=6.25 kHz
N=12.5 kHz
W=25 kHz
Example: A NL5000-UHF/HN would be a UHF module for operation between 450
and 470 MHz, narrow (12.5 kHz channel spacing) IF bandwidth.
