This option will normally only be used on very large, compli-
cated systems, where there is more than one RS80 system on
the same SimNet bus. For example, on certain vessels it may be
necessary to have more than one VHF radio fitted with different
channel configurations (Fig 3.13).

To prevent conflict across the network, these can each be as-
signed a unique device number.
Note “More than one RS80 system” refers to a complete system ra-

with multiple stations – that is still classed as one radio.
