The Universal M-400 provides a high quality demodulator, extensive mode coverage, easy-to-read display and parallel printer port. The M-400 is totally self contained; there is nothing else to buy. It is compact and operates from 12 VDC making it a natural for auto or boat installations. The two line liquid crystal display provides a (40) forty characters readout (not just 8 or 16 like other readers). This super-twist LCD can be read from any angle, and the front of the M-400 is sloped to provide the optimum in viewing and operating convenience. An 8000 character scrollable buffer stores incoming text for your review. LED indicators for Mark, Space, Input and Data are provided. A gray, all metal cabinet provides a solid look of quality. Received output is to the two line LCD, except for FAX which is strictly to the parallel printer port (printer not supplied).
