NOTES: ETSI stands for Europe Technical Standards Institute
(H) Denotes Module Supplies High Side Local Oscillator Injection
(L) Denotes Module Supplies Low Side Local Oscillator Injection
All Modules Use 21.4 MHz IF except G5 which uses 70.2 MHz

The following range information was extracted from a MASTR III Stations Parts and Accessory Guide dated June 2006. 'V' designations are for newer modules with 'Racing Stripes' indicating that they are advanced digital voice compliant (P25 Ready).
