junction box The unit in a transceiver to which a
handset, RF unit, speaker and related
devices are connected. The junction box
receives the instructions that a user enters
through the handset and sends these
instructions to the relevant devices. In an
NGT AR Voice or VR Transceiver, the
junction box is not required; the handset
and speaker connect directly to the handset
and speaker connector. In this case, all
instructions are processed by the RF unit.
