Technical Description
Transceiver Block Diagram
The transceiver (transmitter/receiver) consist of a digital part that controls and supervises transmission/reception on the radio channel. It also handles keyboard, display and protocol transmission to the MTX (Mobile Telephone eXchange). The audio part controls audio signals for earphone, microphone and modem.
