What is the difference between a MSF and a PURC?

A MSF is normally set up as a base station or a repeater.  The PURC is normally set up as a Paging Transmitter, without a receiver.  If the PURC does have a receiver it is usually on a band different from the a PURC transmitter.


 

What is the difference between an Analog and a Digital MSF?

The primary difference is in the control shelf and how they are programmed.  The Analog (CLB) series is programmed via an R-1801 suitcase programmer, whereas the Digital (CXB) series is programmed with a PC software package and a RIB box.  The digital MSF's have many more programmable options than the analog versions.


 

What are option codes?

Option codes are used to identify the many options available for the MSF's.
