[BC] for one of you TV guys to pass along

Probably; ITFS is 2.5 GHz.  While *I* personally don't have the manual  
- I think I know where one or more may be found...

I did some work for IHETS back when they were upgrading the old 
statewide TV system to four-channel capacity (some sites were only 
single-channel!); a bunchaton of transmitters from various 
manufacturers; IIRC some were EMCEE rigs.  They were pretty touchy on 
tuning, as I recall... the new transmitters were broadbanded; they could 
pass the entire 2.5-2.6 GHz band reasonably flat (they were also solid 
state; the older units were - I believe - tetrode finals.

I wrote to the guys at IHETS to see if they might have any manuals 
tucked away somewhere...  cross your fingers.

Oh, IHETS = Indiana Higher Education Telecommunications System.  
Statewide interconnect between all six state universities - voice, 
video, data.  Used to be leased telco loops and private (both ITFS and 
23 GHz bands) microwave point to point, plus the regular ITFS 
point-to-multipoint broadcast; leased voice circuits...
