ALERT2 Receiver / Decoder
5052RD-K-H50386RD legacy5351RD legacy
The base station is where radio bursts become data. The 5052RD-K-H high-data-rate receiver/decoder takes ALERT2 transmissions off the air, decodes them, and hands clean data streams to NovaStar5, FMD Pro or your SCADA system — desktop or 19-inch rack mount.

| Legacy ALERT (earlier generation) | 5351RD | Supports older installations |
| Mixed, during migration | 5052RD-K-H + legacy RD | Run both decoders side by side; retire the legacy unit when the last station is upgraded |
