MCC 545B MRC-565 DIFFERENCES
There are several differences between the MCC 545B and the MRC-565. A summary of these
differences is given below:
• Number of circuit boards MRC-565 has 2 MCC 545 has 3
• MRC-565 is a software defined radio with no adjustments on CMU board
• The MRC-565 has a wideband (40-46 MHZ) FET-PA with adjustable power levels
(10,25,50,100 watts) controlled by CMU commands.
• No battery backed up RAM. No PWR FAIL RESTORE message
• New LPM modes
• Ethernet Port with TCP/IP
• M8 Ethernet Port – connection to GNSS Daughter Board hosted on main processor board
• USB Device Port for connecting to PC USB port. Requires Driver
For the most part the MRC-565 operator commands are the same as the MCC 545B commands.

In the cases where there are similar commands for the MCC 545 and MRC-565, the commands
are slightly different. Refer to APPENDIX C for details.
