Ready for 300 and 1200 baud high speed operation, and fully compatible with current low data rate (100 baud) systems.

• HDR - High Data Rate for 300 and 1200 baud, and fully compatible with current low data rate (100 baud) systems.
• GPS - built-in GPS receiver ensures precision time reference for hourly transmissions.
• Modular - the G5 is housed in its own O-ring sealed weatherproof case for maximum survivability and easy maintenance.
• Automatic reset and start up - GOES configuration data is stored in non-volatile memory, preserving all information during transport and power interrupts.
• Easy set-up - Four front panel LEDs confirms operating status.  The FTS data logger uses GPS location data to automatically calculate correct bearing and inclination for optimal GOES antenna placement.  Replacing a G5 in the field is as simple as connecting a few cables.
• Diagnostics - The G5 provides data on forward and reflected power to assist with on-site troubleshooting as well as an extensive audit log.
• Re-programmable firmware.
• Date/Time stamped audit log
