The RM10's low data rates (non-QAM) are suitable for use with a
non-linear power amplifier (PA). Higher rates require a linear PA
or can work with wideband FM or AM radios. The Ultra Short
interleaver is intended for IP traffic and Medium is for video
streaming; Long is for high-capacity data traffic at low vehicle V/UHF LOS
speeds (slow fading channels). Tx/Rx
