CDM-570A/570AL Satellite Modem with Optional Packet Processor

Revision 5

FEC (Forward Error Correction) Options B–20 MN-CDM570A

However, if uncoded operation is used, there is no way to recognize a data false lock. The

demodulator will indicate that it is correctly locked, but the data out will not be correct.
