The position and the number of modules is variable. The only limitation is the number of
analogue telephone hybrids that can be used simultaneously (maximum 2 or 3, depending on
the quality of the subscriber line).
When digital telephone hybrids are used more than 2 lines can be on the air simultaneously.
This is because digital hybrids have a better trans-hybrid attenuation.
Mastermodule
The BCS50 mastermodule has all the mix,- and output amplifiers and various volume-
controls. This module is placed at the most right position in the frame.

• BCS121: DCF77 atomic-clock/ timer/ stopwatch
