This type of RF Box is reserved for addition of all transceivers included in the setup.
There are two sub-categories, one for a Radio with one A port (antenna port for
transmit TX and receive RX) and second for Radio with SUB-RX port (a
transceiver with two ports - one dedicated as a main RX/TX port and second port
for sub receiver antenna input, RX2).
IMPORTANT: If transceiver allows configuring its antenna ports for various
transmitter/receiver combinations (Ten-Tec transceivers or K3) or
assignment to various antenna ports (all radios with antenna switch
included), always configure it to have transmitter output on the same port as
main receiver input and second receiver input on another port. This
configuration cannot be changed and it is the only configuration in which
SMD fully protects against possible damage!
NOTE: Transceivers with separate RX antenna port (even not true dual receiver
models) can be added to the setup as a Radio with SUB-RX port. If is added that way, SMD can
manage main RX/TX and RX ANT (marked as RX2) paths separately and provide independent antenna
selection for both RX/TX and RX ANT ports, including separate antenna selection for transmitting for a
total of three different antenna paths.
IMPORTANT: If a transceiver with SUB-RX port is
defined, SMD will never allow sharing of any
RF boxes used for main RX/TX port with
SUB-RX port. SUB-RX port has always fully
separated, independent path.
When radio is added to the setup, list box on the left
shows its NAME and main area shows two sub tabs,
Interconnections and Assignments.
Content of NAME and LABEL fields can be changed
in the same manner as before, NAME max. 10 and
LABEL max. 5 characters long.

Interconnections tab specifies the (next) RF
box to which the ports of the Radio RF box are
connected.
Assignments tab specifies to which SMD the
added Radio RF box is connected. SMD is
specified by the address previously specified on
Control Boxes tab.
NOTE: Assignment is possible only if SMD exists
on Control Boxes tab.
