AES and/or DES-OFB encryption with OTAR in any of the available modules. Bands 1 through 4 on the TDFM-9300 are not normally frequency agile. In order to have the ability to change the frequencies at the front panel, the FPP (front panel programming) option must be ordered for each band.
TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED MODEL VARIATION There are several variations of the Model TDFM-9300 Transceiver. Each variation offers different features and performance based on the type of RF modules and options installed. RF Modules are mounted in trays of two with up to 3 trays supported.

There are receive audio, mic audio, and Push To Talk (PTT) lines for each band as well as two sets of lines combining all bands. The TDFM-9300 can be wired such that band selection can be made on the audio panel. Up to 7 positions need to be available on the audio panel;...
Connect according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In the case of the FLX-3050B, the tune indicator (which is normally connected to a light) can be connected to Pin 10 so that the tuning indication will show on the TDFM-9300 display. If a passive antenna is used, these lines shall remain unconnected.

Determine if the image frequency for the VHF Comm falls within the range of the TDFM- 9300. If so, select a set of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-9300 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Any one of the many possible sets will suffice.
Page 35
Determine if the image frequency for the VOR/ILS Nav falls within the range of the TDFM-9300. If so, select two sets of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-9300 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Choose one set in the localizer frequency range and one in the VOR frequency range.
