The MB0414B Base Station

The MB0414B Base Station

This base station has been replaced by the G3 Base Station which is composed of a small desktop Coupler box and a window mount antenna.

The base station consists of a rooftop antenna (MB0414A), a small coupler box (MB0414C), and PC software. The user supplies his own PC.

The coupler plugs into any 120V wall outlet to obtain a reference phase and connects to the PC serial port using a standard serial cable. Install the software on the PC and the base station is ready to go. The software can also be installed on multiple PCs networked together by a LAN.
