MM102014V1, Rev. G 3 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The M-803 digital mobile radio is a hardware component of the OpenSky® network, an integrated voice and data communications system that delivers end-to-end digital transmissions over a single wireless network to the dash-mounted or trunk-mounted radio receiver. There are two principle operating modes for the radio. • OpenSky Trunked Protocol (OTP) • Optional OpenSky Conventional FM, (OCF) OCF allows operation on conventional analog channels with

MM102014V1, Rev. G 3.1 VOICE OPERATION The voice path operates like a traditional dispatch radio, with a microphone to transmit (push-to-talk) and a speaker to receive. In OpenSky Trunked Protocol (OTP), there is no separate voice and data path – all transmitted information is digital. 3.2 DATA OPERATION Data operation requires the connection of a laptop PC. OpenSky works through standard IP protocols such as UDP/IP. The data path operates similarly to the voice path, with a few differenc

MM102014V1, Rev. G 3.6 PERSONALITY As illustrated in Figure 3-1, a personality defines the profiles and talk groups available to the user. It is the structuring of a collection of profiles and privileges established by the OpenSky network administrator to provide the user with a comprehensive set of profiles to communicate effectively with the necessary talk groups or individuals. Personalities are stored on the network and downloaded over-the-air to the radio. This process is called “pr

MM102014V1, Rev. G 3.7 GPS OPTION The radio can be equipped with an optional Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. Utilized with a micro-patch antenna, this option allows the user to track his/her coordinates and report these to central dispatch when within range of an OpenSky network. See page 48 for additional information. 3.8 FRONT PANEL The front panel provides the interface for the operator. It includes a 19-character (8 over 11) vacuum fluorescent display, navigation and select

MM102014V1, Rev. G The radio uses a nominal amount of battery power when it is turned off. If the vehicle in which the radio is installed is likely to be left unused for extended periods of time, M/A-COM recommends installing Time-Delay Relay (p/n MAMROS0088) to prevent excessive vehicle battery drain. Finally, the TX/RX mini-UHF connector (half-duplex) provides connection for an RF antenna and the RX port is capped with a nylon plug. For full-duplex radios, the RX port has a TNC connect
