operational features of the MBT-5003 L-Band Up/Down Converter

System front panel. The front panel features (from left) two sets of four Light-Emitting Diode

the operation of the MBT-5000 from the front panel using the keypad and display. The user enters
data via the keypad, and messages are displayed on the VFD. The LEDs indicate, in a summary
fashion, the status of the unit.
