	Should you wish to convert back to the Quantar Wireline you'll need the AT29C020 chips and the quantar firmware. The older 27F010 chips will work, but they will not auto upgrade to match the quantar firmware.

 Like other products in the Quantar family the SIMM modules are not re-programmable to another product via the RSS upgrade procedure.  This is due to the Boot1.o code on the chip which is not updated during an upgrade.
-What is unique to the ASTRO-TAC is the [[File:JEDEC 80pin SIMM notes.pdf|SIMM ID jumpers]] must be set for 8 x 4mbit chips, in two banks.  This differs form the quantar which doesn't seem to care.

 .19.001 is the latest firmware for the 3k from September 2018.  If there is newer please send it to me and I'll post it.

 The Quantro IPA TLF6900 (800)/TLE5980 (UHF) works, but you will need to cut down the chassis to make it fit and remove the connectors for RF or wirleline modules 7 and 8 will not fit.
-As there is no monitoring or inventory of the AUX PS module by the SCM, it would appear any 14v to 5v converter could be used.  The 14v input is on Pins 4-11 and the 5v output is on 20-27 of the AUX PS connector.   I've not tried this.

 To power the 6-8 wireline cards they need the Aux Power supply module CLF1580, or in a pinch you can use the quantro IPA which does the same thing.  The main power supply supports 5v and 14v output, but the 5v has a limit of 5 amps.  A fully loaded chassis uses >5 A at 5v, so the PS is needed to "rob" some of the unused 14v rail, convert it to 5v and power Wireline boards 6-8.

	These are rather simple in operation devices which use the wireline card and SCM from a Quantar as a voter. The 3k is mostly of interest to radio amateurs now as it supports conventional use, while the 9600 was designed for simulcasted trunked p25 systems.
