The adjustment of the potentiometers, in general, is done using the terminal program. Connectivity The Major BOS 2a2 is connected to a 12V DC power supply unit. The control set is connected to a junction box (MBOS2AB1/6), to which up to four radios can be connected. For each of the radios a squelch input, a PTT output, a busy line as well as AF in- and output are available.
Every radio circuit has its own transmitter indication, which is lit when the transmitter is activated. This happens upon pushing the PTT button or one of the two tone call buttons. The LED blinks if a parallel Major BOS 2a2 is on transmission. Selection Indication The selection indicator is permanentely luminous if the corresponding radio circiut is selected and active.
Subsequently, all connections to the radios (TX-AF, RX-AF, squelch and PTT keying) are connected in parallel between the junction boxes. b) If the junction box MBOS2AB6 is used, up to 6 control sets (Major BOS 2a2) can be connected via one juction box.
Functions for TETRA digital radios (SW version 1.02 or higher) For application in digital radio monitoring of the conversation request tone is necessary. As the Major mutes its loudspeaker (LS) during transmission, this function has not been available if transmission is conducted using the gooseneck (GN) microphone.
If the Major BOS 2a2 is switched on and the terminal program is started, the service program starts after pressing ENTER ¬. showing the following menu: Online - Monitor MBOS2a2 ------------------------ Software: MBOS2a2 Version : V1.00...

Level of the Microphone Major BOS 2a2 exhibits an output level of approx. 500 mV (at 200 ohm) for the direct connection to the secondary microphone input (at the rear) of a FuG8/9. If the Major is to be connected at the control panel of the FuG8/9 (BOS connector), AF has to be diminished to approx.

Jumpers (Junction Box MBOS2AB6) By the use of several jumpers different configurations of the junction box MBOS2AB6 can be achieved as needed. Most of these configurations were mentioned already during the preceding sections, if they are generally relevant.
