M2 Series

Overview

The original M2A has been replaced with the M2A-XL Stand Alone Transmitter. The M2A-XL has an alternate housing, which is slightly taller, wider and deeper, but the electronics and operation are the same as the original M2A housing. Since this housing is deeper than the original M2A, longer standoffs are required inside to properly bring the display up to the transmitter’s window.
