It is more than just a modem, it also has an audio amp built in that will boost the receive audio to loudspeaker level. It works on audio, not an IF sample, so it can be used with other recivers. It has an internal loop supply and is powered by 24 volts DC.  When you find them, they are often missing the meter and knobs because of radioactive glow-in-the-dark paint paranoia.
