Receiver Mainboard, the Synthesizer Module, the RF Preselector, and the Universal Daughter Board
(UDB). An optional Decryption Board can be installed in the Receiver. The MT-4E Transmitter module
hardware is comprised of the Transmitter Mainboard, the Synthesizer Module, RF Power Amplifi er and
Universal Daughter Board (UDB). An optional Encryption Board can also be installed in the Transmitter.
Firmware
The fi rmware is the programming that is contained within the radio module. The fi rmware resides within
the DSP (located on the UDB) and is programmed at the factory. The RSS programming software can
