The rear side of the Radio Unit container is made up of a finned surface to

side.
The Radio Unit electronic circuits are distributed on three cards:
•
Base Band card (housed in the large compartment);
•
R/T card (housed in the small front compartment);
•
P.A. card (housed in the small rear compartment in direct contact with the
heat sink).
