Also, the antenna network is part of the Micor station chassis. The antenna
network includes the power control and protection circuitry Eric mentions,
and ALSO includes an isolator and low-pass filter. Used separate from the
rest of the Micor station, the PA will have no low-pass filter, nor
isolator. The low-pass filter is a must, and the isolator is a "good idea"
at the very least...
