INTRODUCTION 

 

1.1 

GENERAL 

 

The DTX Plus Series II modem is a wireless modem designed to operate on the frequency bands at VHF, 
UHF, and 220 MHz.  It supports over-the-air data rates of 4800 bps in a 5.0/6.25/7.5 kHz channel, 9600 bps 
in a 12.5/15 kHz channel, and 19.2 kbps in a 25/30 kHz channel.  The modem supports three protocols, the 
legacy packet protocol of the DTXM-X54 series, a small-packet streaming protocol, and a no-overhead 
streaming protocol with no error detection/correction. Besides offering data communications, the DTX Plus 
modem includes voice transceiver audio input and outputs.  The complete modem transceiver is housed in 
the standard DTX Plus case, resulting in a light, compact package.

MODEL IDENTIFICATION 

 

The DTX Plus modem has a part number in the form of “DTXM-A60-BCDEF” 

 

Where: 

 

A is the major frequency band designator: 

 
 

1=VHF (136-174 MHz) 

 

2=217-245 MHz 

 

3=340-400 MHz 

 

4=UHF (400-520 MHz) 

 

B is the sub-band designator: 

 
 

G=340-360 and 400-420 

 

A=420-440 

 

B=430-450 

 

0=136-174, 217-245, 360-380, and 450-470 

 

M=380-400 

 

C=470-490 

 

T=490-512 

 

C is the connector designator: 

 
 

B=BNC connector 

 

M= MCX connector 

 

S=SMA connector 

 

D designates the channel bandwidth: 

 
 

S=6.25 kHz 

 

N=12.5 kHz 

 

W=25 kHz 

 
E designates the maximum power level: 
 
 

3=3 watts 

 

6=6 watts 

 

9=10 watts
