5.7.2 Channel Bandwidth and Band Plan
In this section, you can set your “pre-Nextel” and “post-Nextel” Video Bandwidth
Deviation, so that when you make the switchover they will be ready to go.
Start this set-up procedure by making the following menu selections:
MENU>SYSTEM>Nextel. Note: If the Nextel screen is not visible then it must be
enabled by selecting MENU>SYSTEM>OPTIONS>NEXTEL MENU=YES
This brings up the screen at right, with the
settings and selections as described below:
2GHz Freq Plan This setting controls the 2 GHz Frequency Plan, which will
be used by the radio. Select the 17 MHz “pre-Nextel” band-
plan by choosing “2G(17)”, or the 12 MHz “post-Nextel”
band-plan by choosing “2G(12)”.
BW(2G(17)(7/13) This setting controls your Video Deviation bandwidth when
operating in the “pre-Nextel” 2 GHz band (USA), as well as
for all the other frequency bands (i.e. 7 GHz or 13 GHz).
The possible selections are 3 MHz or 4 MHz.
BW(2G(12) 8-10) This setting controls the Video Deviation bandwidth when
operating in the “post-Nextel” 2 GHz band (USA) on
channels 8 through 10. The possible selections are 3 MHz
or 4 MHz.
NOTE: Due to bandwidth limitations of the “post-Nextel” 2 GHz band-plan, in “2G(12)”
mode, the Video Deviation bandwidth of 2 GHz channels 1 through 7 is locked at
3 MHz.
5.7.3 Switchover to “Post-Nextel” Settings
For our US clients, when your DMA switchover date arrives, assuming you have already
set the unit per the preceding guidelines, you will only need to take the following steps
to put the radio on the new “post-Nextel” settings:
Step #1: Navigate to the following menu:
MENU>SYSTEM>NEXTEL
Step #2: Change your “2 GHz Freq Plan” setting from “2G(17)” to “2G(12)”
Step #3: Done!
