FSK channel bw up to 25 kHz (9k6 PR) 1, 4, 5 0, 4, optional: 1 0, 4, optional: 3

0 : No modification required
1 : MC70 Firmware
2 : Hardware modification CTCSS
3 : CPU replacement board MCmega
4 : FSK Add-On Board
5 : Replacement of IF-filters

Examples

  • If you wish to do only FM voice transmission using an EVA5 type radio without CTCSS, modification 1 is sufficient.
  • If one would like to use an EZA9 type radio for 9k6 packet radio (FSK bandwidth up to 25 kHz) and fixed channels are sufficient, modifications 0 and 4 are necessary. If this should be augmented by direct frequency input (via the keyboard), modification 3 is also required.
