Document 1137-0901, REV K 17
3.3 ORBCOMM
• Internal
o Performance
 Transmit Output Power: 5 watts minimum, 10 watts maximum
 Sensitivity -123 dBm with typical BER 1x10
-5
o Features
 Uplink (Tx)
• 148-150.05 MHz
• 2400 baud
 Downlink (Rx)
• 137-138 MHz
• 4800 baud
 Optional antenna detection
• External
o MTS Serial Port- Main Transport Socket port is an RS-232 port which implements the
QUAKE Communications Protocol (QCP). For QPRO models that support ORBCOMM, this
port also supports the ORBCOMM Serial Interface (OSI).
 Pins: 13 (Tx), 14 (Rx), 15 (DSR), 16 (DTR), 17 (DCD), and GND (Pin 9, 12, 26, or
35)
Exceeding an RF input power level of +10dBm may result in damage to the receiver and will void the
warranty.
Do not place ORBCOMM antennas within six feet of each other.
For best results use only approved ORBCOMM antennas
3.4 Iridium - Short Burst Data (SBD)
• Internal
o Performance
 Transmit Output Power: 2 Watts
o Features
 Uplink (Tx)
• 1616-1626.5 MHz
• 50 ksps
 Downlink (Rx)
• 1616-1626.5 MHz
• 50 ksps
o An internal Iridium Modem utilizes the AUX Port of the QPRO so it is not available for use.
If the antenna VSWR exceeds 3:1 the PA will be turned off to protect the modem from damage.
Use only Iridium approved antennas
Long antenna cables will degrade network performance. See Table 3-1, Cable Loss, for more
information.
3.5 Globalstar- (Simplex)
• Performance
o Transmit Output Power: 18 dBm +/- 2 dBm
