Repeater Setup
IMPORTANT!
Do not change VR settings unless knowledgeable with specific options. The Futurecom
Repeater Configurator (FRC) program reports any obvious errors and does not allow
invalid data to be saved to the VR, however, not all inconsistencies can be reported by the
FRC. Successful DVRS programming requires thorough understanding of the VR, MSU
and PSU programming, as well as specific User/System requirements. DVRS will operate
properly only when all templates (VR, MSU and PSU) are matched. E.g.: changing APX
MSU template may require an update of VR template, which in turn may require update of
PSU template.
RF / Analog Setup
The values in this window are set to the correct settings upon shipping from the Futurecom factory.
No changes to those values are required unless instructed otherwise by Futurecom.
Frequency Band Setup
This screen is used for selecting the adjacent channel separation. Three selections are possible
– Set 1, Set 2 & Set 3, which can be either Narrowband (12.5kHz / 1.5kHz) or Wideband (25kHz
/ 3kHz) or NPSPAC (25KHz / 4kHz). Ensure the correct spacing (Set 1 or Set 2 or Set 3) is
selected to match the portable radio programming on each VR channel – see “Repeater Channel
Setup” screen, ‘Bandwidth’ field.
Rx/Tx Synthesizer Frequency Step field indicates the allowable step size of frequencies within
the frequency band.
• VHF- 2.5, 5, 6.25 kHz
• UHF- 6.25 kHz
• 700MHz- 6.25 kHz
• 800MHz- 6.25 kHz
