Introduction
This kit contains parts needed to upgrade one Optimod-FM 8500 to have the same func-
tionality as an Optimod-FM 8600. Depending on the vintage of your 8500, you may need
to replace the DSP board.
There are three versions of this upgrade kit. One converts an 8500FM to 8600FM func-
tionality, the second converts 8500HD to 8600HD functionality, and the third coverts
8500FM to 8600HD functionality. (HD units contain two processors—one for FM analog
transmission and one for digital radio transmission. FM units have one processor for FM
analog transmission.)
