Z-Max Surveying System Operation and Applications Manual

NOTE: When using the Thales U-Link base radio, the radio must be connect to Serial B.

Pacific Crest PDL Radio

The Pacific Crest PDL radio, Figure 2.7, is a popular data link option because
of its reliable performance and range of functional options. The PDL rover is
housed in the Z-Max Communication Module. Base and rover channels can
be changed through the Z-Max front panel or through application software
running on a handheld computer. The base radio channel can also be
changed directly from a button on the front of the device.
