See Master Out Slave In.
An electronic device that combines several signals for transmission on
some shared medium (e.g., a telephone wire).
See multiplexer.
Nickel-cadmium.
Nickel-metal-hydride.
See over-molded pad-array carrier.
A controller configuration that utilizes a microprocessor with extended
ROM, RAM, and EEPROM.
An electronic device that produces alternating electric current and
commonly employs tuned circuits and amplifying components.
See outbound signaling word.
See over-the-air rekeying.
Data transmitted on the control channel from the central controller to the
subscriber unit.
A Motorola custom IC package, distinguished by the presence of solder
balls on the bottom pads.
Allows the dispatcher to remotely reprogram the encryption keys in the
radio.
Power amplifier.
One-way communication that alerts the receiver to retrieve a message.
A dual-core processor that contains an MCU and a DSP in one IC
package.
Printed Circuit Board. Also referred to as a PCB.
A circuit in which an oscillator is kept in phase with a reference, usually
after passing through a frequency divider.
See private-line tone squelch.
See phase-locked loop.
A continuous sub-audible tone that is transmitted along with the carrier.
See also DPL.
A memory chip on which data can be written only once. Once data has
been written onto a PROM, it remains there forever.
See Programmable Read-Only Memory.
