Structural Features

●Internal structure of the main unit

The internal structure of the main unit is straightforward: employing a die-cast aluminum chassis, it is designed so that the circuit boards are attached from both above and below. From above one can see the TX/RX unit, the filter unit and the relay unit; seen from below, there are the RF unit and the final unit (or final/AT unit, in the case of the SAT model). There is also a separate display unit in the standalone control panel.

Figs. 23~25 illustrate the arrangement of these units.
