4.3.1.1 ASTRO Digital Spectra W3 Smart RIB Issue

When flashing a Model W3 mobile radio, the smart RIB box tends to reset if the correct power-up
sequence is not observed. To avoid this problem, you must power up the radio before you use the
smart RIB box. You might damage the control head or the RIB box if you use a modified RIB box to
flash Model W3 radios.

4.3.1.2 ASTRO Digital Spectra Remote W3 Y Cable

The remote Y cable required for high-power Model W3 radios cannot be used for programming. The
accessory connector in this cable does not have the BUS+, BUS-, and BUSY lines.
