The FSG8 is the successor of the wellknown "yellow briquettes" FSG4 and FSG5 and complies with the reduced channel separation of 8.33 kHz .
The FSG8 has the same housing as its predecessor and is therefore just as robust.
The device is technically based on the ATR833S or Mk-II development, but has been thoroughly redesigned to meet the requirements for a full certification as a ground station
The FSG8's intelligent power management reduces standby power consumption to an absolute minimum.
