Note, pulling the U0007 PLCC PROM and powering the head out of its housing can ...

Re: Getting Backhaul Out of a Nearby Cell Site?
They probably dont have any TDM type facilities there (DSO, DS1, DS3, etc) its probably all Ethernet based services. You would probably have to provide a conduit from the AT&T cabinet to your own it that type of service would work.

you cannot use des-xl in securenet mode on non-astro channels in 12.5kHz. you will have to go astro or wide band non astro.

If you will only be using 1 encryption key the first one will work just fine. If you plan on doing any multi key stuff. The second one will work a little better. The astro 25 mode is the easy way for multikey ops in my opinion.
