This is the general-purpose interface that goes between the PC and appropriate radio. It is for specific radios. Not for Motorola radios.  It uses standard Original Equipment Manufacturers software (not supplied).

With the appropriate lead it will programme a minimum of:  Kenwood Mobiles & handportables; Tait T2000, T3000 & T700 series; Philips PRM80 PMR & Band 3 mobiles.

It is self powered from the radio and plugs directly between PC and the radio.  The UPA has 2 x 25w "D" sockets - one male and the other female.  The female socket mates with your 25 way D serial port, and the male mates with the UPA-to-Radio lead.  If your PC has the more popular 9 way serial socket then you will need the optional "LA" PC to UPA lead (See below).

Please note that the UPA is not compatible with any original manufacturers programming leads. 

If your PC has the more popular 9 way serial socket then you will need the optional "LA" PC to MIB lead.
