The main junction box has ten cable connectors used to connect to control boxes and RTs. It has
four selector switches, one circuit breaker, one power indicator, two sets of binding posts, and an
audio amplifier.
RT-A, the bottom RT in a VAA, is typically connected to main junction box connector J501 and is
controlled by setting the control box MONITOR switch to A". RT-B, the top RT in a VAA, is typically
connected to main junction box connector J503 and is controlled by setting the control box
MONITOR switch to C". The single radio mount uses a power supply adapter which allows only one
RT to be installed. The RT is connected to main junction box connector J501 and is controlled by
setting the control box MONITOR switch to ALL".
