SECTION 6
OPTIONS
13. Distortion: (Receive)
This field shows the Radio’s Transmitter Distortion in %. Value range: 0.0 to
20.0%. Also used to show decoded DTMF digits by pressing the DTMF softkey.
14. Extended
Meas:
This field allows access to one of three external screens: Scope, Analyzer or
Digital Voltmeter (DVM). Radio-initiated Group Calls are still performed while in
any of the three screens. If a call was made to the Radio and is still in progress,
it is possible to access any of the three screens without interrupting the call.
However, there is no way to call the Radio Under Test or disconnect a made call
while in the extended screens. The call must be made before entering an
extended screen.
The
only
way to enter the extended screens is to use the softkeys. The ‘Return’
field in the extended screen allows a return to the Repeater Simulator.
15. RF: (Generate)
This field shows the current RF Frequency of the EDACS Working Channel for the
Generator side of the Repeater Simulator. This field is editable (which puts the
Working Channel in ‘Manual’ mode). Value range: 0 to 1000.0000 MHz.
Soft Function Keys available with this function include:
16. Level:
This field is used to set the Generator’s RF Output Level in dBm. Value range:
-40 to -130.0 dBm (T/R), 13.0 to -130.0 dBm (AUX) with AUX option.
17. Output:
This field is used to set the Generator’s RF Output source to the T/R port or the
Auxiliary (AUX) RF port. Valid values: T/R or AUX.
18. Status:
This field shows the current status of the Repeater Simulator. It is a display-only
field. Valid status values:

this state, the Radio may initiate a Group Call, do a Login or the simulator
may initiate another call to another radio.

This
message is usually very brief and may not be noticeable.
