2.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The transceiver, shown in
license-free operation. These units employ Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
technology to provide highly-reliable long-distance communications, even in
the presence of weak signals or interference.
DSP technology also makes it possible to obtain information about radio
operation and troubleshoot problems, without going to the Remote radio site.
Using appropriate software at the Master station, diagnostic data can be
obtained on any DSP radio in the system, even while payload data is being
transmitted. (See
Page 49.)
The transceiver is housed in a compact and rugged die-cast enclosure that
need only be protected from direct exposure to the weather. It contains a
single printed circuit board with all necessary components for radio opera-
tion. No jumper settings or manual adjustments are required to configure the
radio for operation.
