The TS4000 comes in a number of models depending on the frequency of
operation, transmit power, and channel spacing. The model numbers for the
TS4000 are in the following format.

The TS4000 consists internally of two modules - a modem module and a radio
module. The radio module has a number of options depending on the frequency
of operation, transmit power, and channel spacing. It is important that the
TS4000 is ordered with the correct radio module based on the operating
requirements.
Radio Modules
The radio module of the TS4000 comes in various frequency bands including
VHF, UHF and 900 MHz. Within each of these bands, there are sub-bands that
define the specific frequency range over which a particular radio module will
operate (i.e. 450 to 470 MHz).
Frequency Bands
For some of the frequency bands, there several options for the radio module
transmit power. The most common transmit power levels available are 2 watts
and 5 watts. The transmit power can be reduced from the maximum power with
the transmit power level setting control (See Radio Setup).
Transmit Power
The transmit power of the radio module effects the maximum transmit duty cycle
that the TS4000 can be operated with. Transmit duty cycle is the percentage of
time that the modem is transmitting (i.e. 50 %). If the TS4000 is operated with
too high a transmit duty cycle, then the radio module may get too hot which can
result in damage. The maximum safe transmit duty can be increased by
