Capable of holding Rating x 10 programmed frequencies in its memory at any time, the master unit can also function as a scanner and a jammer equal to its rating. The master unit can also support a number of ports equal to its rating which can be used to link it to nearly any computer or telecommunications system: conventional Matrix land line, cellular phone/fax, satellite uplink, and so on. The master unit is usually carried in a vehicle, where it takes up 2 CF of cargo space. A backpack portable master unit is also available which is much more compact but at a higher rate of cost. The master unit has a Flux, ECCM, and Encryption rating equal to its rating. Personal Unit These transceivers serve as the system's personal communications units. Each comes as either a pocket-sized clip-fastened or wrist-worn unit, and is equipped with a voice-activated (if desired) wireless headset (earpiece and microphone) for hands-free operation. The units are also DNI equipped for datajack control. These units can hold Rating x 2 programmed frequencies in their memory at any time. Each features a datajack and a port for linking the device to a computer or telecommunications system, as per the master unit. Each has a Flux Rating equal to half its device rating (round down). This means that beyond a certain point they can receive messages from the master unit but cannot respond. Each personal unit also has an ECCM and Encryption equal to the device rating.
