NOTE:
Some features may not be available, based on the options
purchased and the applicable regulations for the region in
which the radio will operate.
1.2 Differences Between Models
All models of the MDS 1710/2710 Series are very similar in appearance
and functionality. The major differences are in frequency coverage,
channel bandwidth and data speed.
Table 1 summarizes the available
models and identifies the characteristics of each.
To determine the specific settings for your radio (as originally shipped
from the factory), please refer to the Product Configurator chart shown
in
Figure 4.
NOTE: The operating software for A, C, and D models is not inter-
changeable.
NOTE: MDS 1710D operates at 6.25 kHz bandwidth. The MDS
2710D operates at 5 kHz bandwidth.
NOTE: The narrow bandwidth of the MDS 2710D transceiver is not
compatible with standard analog modems, including the
widely used Bell 202T. The MDS 2710D is intended for digital
RS-232 data only.
