The U-ROC is a robust and portable IDM solution to connect a laptop to the radio. Its modular design consists of two cables. The first has a USB connector for attachment to any computing device on one end and has an embedded circuit card with a digital signal processor (DSP) on-board. The second cable forms the bridge between the first cable and the unique radio connector. Each portion can be purchased separately and is guaranteed to have future interoperability with JSF.
