Check Sum

Each digit is a Hex representation of 4 bits » B4 B3 B2 B1

B4 has a weight of 8, B3 is 4, B2 is 2, B1 is 1, so if B4 and B2 in a digit are both enabled, that digit value is 10 or “A” (in Hex).

The last digit is a check sum that is dependent on the value of the previous 12 digits.

The definitions of the features that each bit represents are common for all subscribers* that support FLASHport (MTS, MCS, ASTRO Saber, ASTRO Spectra, ASTRO XTS3000, ASTRO XTS3500). ALL subscriber products do not support ALL features, however. Consult price pages for options available for a particular subscriber.

The feature sets for Jedi series portables (MTS-2000, etc) are slightly different, and annotated as such.

If two option numbers are separated by a slash, they represent first portable, then mobile options unless otherwise specified.


For calculating a bit, add up the selected B# in Decimal and write it in the box labled 'Decimal', and then convert to Hex and write it down in the box labled 'HEC'. I.E. : B4+B3+B1 = 8+4+1 = 13 in decimal or 'D' in hex.
