17. Status
This field shows the current status of the Radio Simulator. Display-only field.
Valid status values:
NC
No Control Channel overhead found from the Repeater. No calls accepted
in this state.
IDLE
Radio is locked into a Repeater Site and is waiting to make a Group Call or
accept a Group Call.
BEGIN CALL
A Group Call is initiated and call processing with the Repeater is in
progress. This message is usually brief.
GROUP CALL
Radio Simulator successfully executed a Group Call and is transmitting/
receiving on the Working Channel assigned by the Repeater Under Test.
The Working Channel is displayed in parenthesis.
CALLED
A call is made to the Radio Simulator and is transmitting/receiving on the
Working Channel assigned by the Repeater Under Test. The words “EMG”
is displayed if an Emergency Group Call was made.
18. Message:
Briefly shows the last EDACS message received from the Repeater. Display-only
field.
GRP CHAN ASSGN
A Group Call Channel Assignment message is received from the Repeater.
CH UPDATE
A Channel Update message is received from the Repeater.
CALL DROP
A Call Drop message is received from the Repeater.
19. Mod Source:
This field is used to select a Generator source for modulation. Sources are only
modulated when a call (PTT) is initiated from the Radio Simulator. The DATA
modulation field is to modulate the EDACS signaling data. All enabled modulation
sources display above the Mod Source field.
To the right of Mod Source, select the modulation type for the selected source.
20. Deviation: (Generate)
This field is active when the selected source is FM or PM modulation type. This
controls the deviation of the modulated source. Value range: 0.00 to 100.0 kHz
for FM and 0.00 to 10.0 Rad for PM.
For deviation of DATA, 3.2 kHz (1.5 kHz for
narrow band) is the recommended default value.
