Expert EFJ Programming
Genesis highly recommends we provide our expert programming of the EF Johnson radio. That way, the customer receives the radio in plug-and-play condition.
Note to EF Johnson dealers: If you would prefer to purchase and program your own radio, that is acceptable. However, if Genesis' assistance is needed for implementation of items necessary to operate the Topaz RF-modem, additional fees will be involved.

EF Johnson Technologies
Genesis and EF Johnson Technologies® have developed an RF-modem solution for P25 (9600). The EFJ53SL radio extracts the 9600 CAI as well as the 3600 Control Channel, making it a unique radio that can handle both.
As P25 (9600) systems professionals, we have expertise in ordering and programming the EFJ 53SL Radio as a replacemet for the MCS2000 for 3600 systems. This means that all Genesis' RF-based products (GenWatch3®, GEnSAC and GenSPOut) integrate very nicely with the EFJ 53SL. Furthermore, this radio allows smooth migration from 3600 to P25 for the aforementioned products.
Bundle Features (Provided by Genesis)
- EFJ RS53SL radio for all standard RF ranges (see chart)
- Dash mount head
- Radio to PC interfaces and connectors
- RJ45 cable from radio to PC for Topaz-Ethernet crossover
- Data Protocol License / Genesis setup
- Firmware for 3600 and/or P25 systems
- 48 Talkgroup limit (only one used in RF-modem mode)
- Power supply tray
- Domestic Ground shipping
Additional Items (Provided by Customer)
- Antenna (Yagi preferred)
- Coax cable
- UPS power supply
- Desk or rack space
- Installation
This bundle is RF-modem and RIM-II combined. The bundle will operate for encoding and decoding of 3600 Control Channel. The bundle will operate for decoding only of P25 CAI.
Connections to the EF Johnson Radios
Each EFJ5300 Series radio includes the Topaz interface, a TCIP/IP protocol. Genesis is among a handful of companies licensed to implement this protocol. Topaz allows us simple access to the CAI and Control Channel to receive OSP and OSW data. We can also create and send ISW data. However, we cannot send ISP data, due to a restriction in the P25 CAI protocol.
- Antenna connections (Type "N") — adaptor not included
- Data connections — Genesis supplies RJ45 output from the radio and an RJ45 crossover cable for connection to the PC NIC card. Note: if connection to customer LAN is desired, a second NIC card for the PC is required.

Our Triage Guide helps customers diagnose connection issues between GenWatch3 and the EF Johnson 5300 Series mobile radios. GenWatch3 relies on a 3-step process to receive data from the EF Johnson 53SL Mobile Radio:
- Receiving Control Channel data
- Transmitting data to the GenWatch3 Host
- GenWatch3 settings and license restrictions
