Introduction
This kit contains parts needed to upgrade one Optimod-FM 8500 to have the same
functionality as an Optimod-FM 8600. Depending on the vintage of your 8500, you
may need to replace the DSP board.
There are two versions of this upgrade kit. One converts an 8500FM to 8600HD func-
tionality, and the second converts 8500HD to 8600HD functionality. (HD units con-
tain two processors—one for FM analog transmission and one for digital radio
transmission. FM units have one processor for FM analog transmission.)
