Transmission mode (LR/LD)

The standard transmission mode of the transmitters in the Digital 6000 se-

ries is Long Range mode (LR). As a result, the transmitters in the Digital

6000 series are compatible with EM 9046 and EK 6042 if they are operated

in Long Range mode.

If required, Link Density mode (LD) can be activated in the menu of the EM

6000 (see „System -> Transmission Mode menu item“) in order to accom-

modate even more channels in the available frequency spectrum.

For more detailed information about Link Density mode, see „Link

Density mode“.
