RH-42 Troubleshooting Instructions CCS Technical Documentation TDMA800 Since the same physical signal path is used for both analog and digital modes at the lower band, there is no need for additional troubleshooting in the digital mode. So if the digital mode at the lower band is not working properly, start the analog mode trouble- shooting.
