Internal UHF Radio

Depending on the model you have purchased, the MPS566 receiver is available with one of the following internal radios:

  • No UHF (P/N MAR-MPS566-000)

  • 450 MHz: 403 to 473 MHz, 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz spacing, 0.5 W or 2 W transmit power (P/N MAR-MPS566-450)

  • 900 MHz: 902 to 928 MHz spread spectrum, 1 W transmit (P/N MAR-MPS566-900)

The UHF RF connector on the receiver is Reverse Polarity TNC, which on older Trimble receivers was only used for 900 MHz internal radios. The new 6” combined 450/900 MHz antenna (P/N 123588) has a Reverse Polarity TNC to suit the MPS566 receiver.

External UHF antennas

External UHF antenna kits are available to suit both 450 and 900 MHz internal radios:
