Connector board? No such beast described in the manual. Do you  mean the 
A3 power supply board, which has the i/o connector on  it?

Active board? Ditto. Do you mean the A4 oscillator board, which has  a 
20 MHz VCXO on it? There's no 15 MHz anywhere in an  FRS-C.



--------------
The connector board and missing 15MHz board are external parts from the  
Lucent unit that originally contained them, not internal to the FRS  module.
 
The 15MHz board, "active" in that it contains electronics circuitry, isn't  
of much use to most folks anyway but the connector board carries the 
special D  type connector with coax insert that interfaces to the FRS so that's 
extremely  useful.
