Sorry, maybe. It's heavily application dependent. While senders *tend* to be higher level lower loss devices, that difference diminished over time. On some newer devices it seemed like the only difference was the label. The very alst applicaitons before Motorola caved adn went all electronic

Late Mitrek boards still SPECIFIED different reeds, but I agree that they seemed interchangeable. In every case I saw no difference between TLN6824s, KLN6209s and KLN6210s. Just as a test I removed the reed hold down post on a Mitrek board and plugged in a TLN8381 fat decode reed into the

Brian, Yes, probably. The coils have different impedances, and the armatures have different masses, but they are close enough that in most cases they are interchangeable. That said, Motorola did make them different for a reason- most likely that one was more sensitive as a vibrasponder, and the
