Control Head Unit—CHAPTER 7
Software Version OTP 5.07 M-803 Operator Manual 73
Equipment Configurations
The M-803 mobile radio supports multiple control
heads for vehicles that require more than one display
screen and user interface.
Dash Mount Mobile
In the most basic configuration, the M-803 radio and
user interface are combined in one dash-mounted
hardware case without additional control heads.
Dash Mount with Control Heads
The dash-mount radio can support up to five control
heads at different locations on the vehicle, each with its
own display screen and interfaces for handsets, mobile
data terminals and other peripherals.
Trunk Mount Mobile
The M-803 can also be remotely trunk-mounted
without a front-panel user interface. This configuration
supports up to five control heads placed throughout the
vehicle.
Vehicular Tactical Network
With the addition of a trunk-mounted duplexer and
signal repeater, the M-803 functions as a local cell on
the OpenSky network and also provides off-network
scene-of-incident coverage for voice-to-voice
communication.
Dash-Mount Mobile Configuration
The first several chapters of this manual describe the
basic dash-mount mobile configuration for the M-803.
In this common standalone installation radio functions,
front-panel user controls and back-panel peripheral
interfaces are combined in a single hardware case.

mounting several radios.
