Spread Spectrum Wireless Data Transceiver User Manual

WARNING:

In order to stay within FCC regulations it is required that a minimum of 50 separate frequency channels
be used within a hop pattern. This means that a minimum of 8 frequency zones along with the Standard
hop table is required for legal communications.
