06 WRS System Guide 08/2004 NOTES Old Radio Modem vs. New Radio Modem The new radio modem inside the WMU-3, Studio LDB-2, Lite LDB-2 and URM-3 is smaller and lighter than the old one, it draws less power and has a more robust trans- mission scheme. Because of that, it is not compatible with the old radio modem used in the WMU-1, Studio LDB, Lite LDB and URM-1. To preserve the rental houses' investment in the existing hardware, we offer an upgrade path to install the new radio modems in the old
