Each DART card is spectrum specific and provides an interface between the SeRF and
the Power Amplifier. When additional service is needed another DART card can be
added to the Host. Individual DART cards may be replaced without disrupting service
to the entire remote system. Only the RF spectrum of the DART card being removed
is affected.
