MOTOTRBO R7 Generic Option Board (GOB) Service Kit

The Motorola PMLN8203AS MOTOTRBO R7 Generic Option Board (GOB) Service Kit is an internal expansion board designed for compatible Motorola MOTOTRBO R7 portable two-way radios.

The Generic Option Board provides a hardware platform that allows supported R7 radios to utilize specialized software applications developed by Motorola application partners. These applications can extend the functionality of the radio beyond its standard feature set to support specialized operational requirements.

Designed specifically for the MOTOTRBO R7 platform, the PMLN8203AS installs internally within the radio and can be used with supported Full-Keypad (FKP) and No-Keypad (NKP) R7 configurations.

The PMLN8203AS is intended for professional installation and service applications. The functionality provided by the board depends on the application software installed and configured for use with it.
