COMMUNICATIONS LINK

The perfect accessory for any internal radio transceiver or remote telephone system. The four different models allow the user to simultaneously monitor and access 2, 4, 8, or 10 channels of communication. With the proper links, these could be all radio, all telephone (voice only), or any combination. The comlink system allows you to:

Monitor and access up to ten radio or telephone channels.
Provide routing and switching to allow callers on separate channels.
Selectively lock-out certain channels to screen audio clutter.
Output onto a display system the status of all channels.
Receive subtle visual notification of incoming calls.

	Essence Loss	Cost	Availability	Street Index
Commlink-II	.3	8 000	2/48 hrs	1
Commlink-IV	.3	18 000	3/48 hrs	1.25
Commlink-VIII	.3	40 000	4/48 hrs	1.5
Commlink-X	.3	60 000	5/48 hrs	1.75

The listed costs are for either a radio-only or telephone-only system. For a commlink system that handles both simultaneously (maximum ten channels), increase the base cost by 25 percent. Multiple systems cannot be linked together.

When inserted as part of a package with either a Radio Transceiver, Receiver, or Headware Telephone, the essence cost is halved.

CRYPTO CIRCUIT HD

A Headware communications acessory, the Crypto Circuit HD allows transmission and reception of scramble-coded signals of varying levels of sophistication. Each signal transmitted by a Crypto Circuit system is layered with a sequenced code accessible only by other Crypto Circuit systems with the proper decoding sequence. The special code provides a potentially infinite variety of sequences.

This patented system is in use by military, governmental, and corporate security forces worldwide.

	Essence Loss	Cost	Availability	Street Index
Crypto Circuit HD
Level 1-4	.1	Level*10 000	6/36 hrs	1
Level 5-7	.1	Level*20 000	6/36 hrs	1.25
Level 8-9	.1	Level*30 000	8/36 hrs	1.5
Level 10	.1	500 000	9/36 hrs	2

The Crypto Circuit HD is fully compatible with the comlink system and can provide coding and decoding functions for all channels. Both sender and receiver must be equipped with Crypto Circuit systems. The rating of the receiver's system must equal or exceed that of the sender.

The Crypto Circuit causes no Essence Loss when inserted as a package with either a Radio, Radio Receiver, or Headware Telephone system.

The Crypto Circuit system is also available for non-cyberware communication equipment for 50 percent of the price.

HEARING AMPLIFICATION

This headware enhancement system boosts the sensitivity of either natural or cybernetic hearing. This is a full-spectrum increase, not the mid-range (average voice frequencies) increase common with some systems. The effect of the amplification system is similar to that of a shotgun microphone with the user able to hear as though he were ten times closer to the sound source. The Damper enhancement is highly recommended with all Hearing Amplification systems.

Hearing Amplification	.2	3 500	4/48 hrs	1.25

INTERNAL VOICE MASK

This cyber-speech accessory duplicates the operation of the external Voice Mask in every way, but with improved masking capability.

Internal Voice Mask	.1	7 000	6/48 hrs	1

Rating is at 2D6+2.

RANGEFINDER

This cyber-sight accessory is identical to the weapon-mounted Rangefinder systems currently in use. When coupled with a display, the Rangefinder indicates the current range to the target, whether it be to where the wearer is looking at or where his weapon is pointed if he is using a smartgun.

Rangefinder	.1	2 000	8/48	1.5

SCRAMBLE BREAKER HD

The ultimate in code-breaking technology, this headware accessory uses technology similar to that of the Crypto Circuit. The Scramble Breaker HD allows the wearer to attempt to penetrate the code of any encrypted signal and unscramble it.

Scramble Breaker HD	Essence Loss	Cost	Availability	Street Index
Level 1-4	.2	Level * 20 000	6/48 hrs	1.5
Level 5-7	.2	Level * 40 000	8/48 hrs	1.75
Level 8	.2	600 000	10/48 hrs	1.75

The Scramble Breaker HD is compatible with the commlink system and can provide full code-breaking functions to all channels.

It causes only .1 Essence Loss when inserted as a package with either a Radio, Radio Receiver, or Headware Telephone.

The Scramble Breaker system is also available for non-cyberware communication equipment at half the listed price. The procedure for breaking a coded signal is identical to that used by a Data Codebreaker and Dataline Encryption System.

SELECT SOUND FILTER

This audio accessory allows the user to selectively filter out certain sounds without affecting other sounds present. Uses would include filtering out environmental sounds in order to monitor a conversation more easily. The Select Sound Filter system comes in a variety of grades of technical sophistication and is compatible with all cyber-hearing systems and accessories.

Scramble Breaker HD	Essence Loss	Cost	Availability	Street Index
Sound Filter	.2	Level [1-5] * 10 000	6/48 hrs	1.25

To use the Select Sound Filter, the user must make an Unresisted Success Test. He rolls dice equal to the filter's Rating against a Target Number based on the amount of noise the user wishes to filter compared to the total amount of noise present. If the noise to be filtered is only 10 percent of the sound present, the Target Number would be 2 or 3. If, on the other hand, it was 90 percent of the total sound present, it could be as high as 10 or 11. Fifty percent would be about 6. The exact numbers depend on the circumstances and the sounds involved. Louder sounds are far more difficult to filter than softer ones.

SENSE LINK

The Sense Link system is a basic Simulated Senses (Simsense) recording rig made affordable. Consisting of a series of phased neural sensors, the Sense Link can record and transmit the basic sensory impressions the wearer is receiving. The Sense Link can record full spectrum sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch, but does not record the wearer's emotions or attitudes. The Sense Link impressions can be transmitted or recorded at a rate of 10Mp per 10 seconds of impressions. A Simsense player or cyberdeck is necessary to play back the recorded sensory impressions. Only a cyberdeck has the necessary electronics to play back a Sense Link transmission in real time.

* Can only be attached to a cyberdeck or modified simsense player (non-portable).

VIDEO LINK

Until recently, a still video image was all that could be recorded from a cyber-sight system. A Video Link can transmit a live video image or can record it in headware memory or in a separate portable recorder. The image is preserved in three-dimensional color. If some form of cyber-hearing system is present, an audio track can be recorded as well. With 6Mp of memory, either internal or external, the user can record 1 minute of low-resolution video.

VISION MAGNIFICATION

This cyber-sight enhancement magnifies the visual image in the same manner as binoculars or the lens of a camera. Vision magnification is available in two forms, optical and electronic. The optical system uses precision-crafted lenses to provide the magnification, while the electronic system uses a light-sensitive chip. The optical system produces a purer image with greater clarity but is cosmetically obvious when installed into an organic eye. The electronic system is concealed in all forms, but it produces a grainier image at higher magnification.

	Essence Loss	Cost	Availability	Street Index
Optical Magnification 1	.2	2 500	4/48 hrs	1
Optical Magnification 2	.2	4 000	4/48 hrs	1
Optical Magnification 3	.2	6 000	4/48 hrs	1
Electronic Magnification 1	.1	3 500	4/48 hrs	1
Electronic Magnification 2	.1	7 500	4/48 hrs	1
Electronic Magnification 3	.1	11 000	4/48 hrs	1.5

The Vision Magnification system is compatible with all other vision-enhancing systems. Both the optical and electronic magnification systems behave like Imaging Scopes of the appropriate rating. If exposed, optical magnification systems have a Concealability Rating of 9. If covered, they are undetectable.

CYBERGUNS

Designed by Fichetti Arms, the cybergun series of weapons was designed for installation in cyberarm. Light weapons in the series include the Hold-Out Pistol, Light Pistol, Machine Pistol, and Sub Machine Gun. The Heavy Weapon series includes the Heavy Pistol and Shotgun. All weapons fire through a port at the base of the palm. All have internal ammo loads, but can be reloaded. An external ammunition port is available for the automatic weapons (SMG and Machine Pistol), allowing them to take a full clip.

Type	Concealability	Ammo	Damage	Weight	Cost	Availability	Street Index
Hold-Out Pistol	12*	12 (Internal)	4L (SA)	.3	250	8/7 days	2
Light Pistol	10*	10 (Internal)	6L (SA)	.75	650	8/7 days	2

Shotgun	N/A	4 (Internal)	8S (SA)	2.25	1 200	8/7 days	2

* The Concealability Rating reflects the chance of noticing the firing port on the cyberarm after a shot has been fired. If the firer is observed at the time of firing, the discharge will be obvious. A heavy weapon or cybergun firing at full auto will always be obvious. An ammo port is obvious only if a clip is sticking out of it.

BOOSTED REFLEXES

This one-time electro-chemical treatment and modification increases the body's natural reflexes without the need for cybernetic response amplifiers and neural-enhancement circuitry. The recipient of Boosed Reflexes, however, can never use Wired Reflexes or a Vehicle Control Rig. Boosted Reflexes cannot be upgraded.

SKILL HARDWIRES

Stay away from this little piece of drek. The wires are good only for one skill, and a Concentration to boot. It is far to Essence-costly and Nuyen- intensive to be worth the effort.

New Biofiber technology allows the permanent grafting of skill responses to an existing organic neuromuscular system. A Skill Hardwire can replicate any active, non-knowledge/information-based skill. Once installed, the Skill Hardwire is permanent and should never need maintenance within the user's lifetime.
