Power Amplifier Hardware Generations
Starting in July 2013, the GTR 8000 Base Radio is shipped with a new generation of power amplifier
hardware (referred to in this manual as GEN 2). The hardware updates extend the life of the base radio
as seamlessly as possible. This section details relevant differences and compatibility requirements for
GEN 1 and GEN 2 hardware.
9.3.1
Power Amplifier Software and Feature Compatibilities
The GEN 2 power amplifier hardware is fully backwards compatible and completely interchangeable
with GEN 1 power amplifier hardware. GEN 1 power amplifiers can no longer be ordered; however,
spare inventory of GEN 1 power amplifiers can be used as Field Replaceable Unit (FRU)
replacements.
All ASTRO
