The MDS 1710 Transceiver Series is a price/performance leading solution for licensed radio in the 130-174 MHz frequency range. MDS 1710 is available in the following VHF bands: 130-140 MHz, 140-150 MHz, 150-165 MHz, and 165-174 MHz. These radios provide increased throughput, and longer-range for multiple address systems. Transparent and direct asynchronous communication offers real-time communication. No extra software or programming is needed to implement communications using standard asynchronous protocols. A general purpose (unconditioned) digital output is available. The GE MDS Transceiver Series is field configurable as a master station or remote radio. They can operate as half-duplex or simplex radio. They support all splits in duplex frequencies. When operating as a master station, full network diagnostics are available. Simplex mode permits peer-to-peer radio communications.
