For those using the older products, the new injectors are drop in replacements. Same Price, Same size, etc. They come out of the box configured just like the old injectors - you even wire them up the same, just ignoring the two new connections.
The only changes are that if you're needing a 320 or 430 injector you'll need to rejumper them to work with the odd pinning of these radios. And if you're wanting to use the dual power rail functionality and/or a different pinning style, you'll need to rejumper them as well. Just think of them as an enhanced version of the old, not really a different product. -forrest On Fri, Jul 15, 2016 at 4:53 PM, George Skorup <[email protected]> wrote: > The new little SyncBoxes look awesome! > > So the old 10/100 SyncInjector is gone?
