Radio Configuration:
The radio communication board has two banks of 8-position DIP switches: SW1 and SW2. The
function of these switches is slightly different for a host unit and a remote unit. We recommend
powering the unit down while making any changes to the configuration.
Common settings:
These settings are common for both Host and Remote units and must be set to
the same settings in order for the system to operate properly.
MURS Channel Selection:
The MURS Channel Selection is common
to both the host and remote modes of
operation. All hosts and remotes that are
intended to communicate with each other
must be set to the same MURS Channel.
Four channels are available: 1, 2, 3, 4.
They are set as shown in the table.

The radio output power can be selected with
SW2-7. For shorter transmission ranges
select the 1W range to limit the amount of
‘RF pollution’. Select the 2W setting if there
is no communication at the 1W setting.
