I/F module, PGSC, spare battery set, window antenna, packet module, SAREX
headset assembly, personal recorder, and the required cable assemblies. The
packet module contains a power supply and packet TNC. The power supply
provides power for the TNC and the handheld transceiver. The TNC interconnects
with a radio transceiver so that data to and from the computer is transmitted
to and received from other amateur radio stations. Configuration C is capable
of operating in either the voice or data mode in communications with amateur
stations within LOS of the Orbiter. This configuration can be operated in the
attended mode for voice communication and either the attended or automatic mode
for data communications.
