RSS LOCATION
DEFINITION A feature that affects radio sensitivity and interference rejection.
DEFAULT/CHOICES Default: Local
Choices: ■ Dx ■ Local
Local Use Local in areas of dense radio usage (suburbs and major cities).
Local improves IM performance dramatically, but loses some sensitiv-
ity.
Dx Use Dx (distance) when in an area where radio is decoding weak sig-
nals (rural area).
RECOMMENDATIONS Use Local when in an area where there is a lot of interference (in the city). When
frequently traveling between local and distant areas, use two channels with the
same frequencies, only program one as Local and one as Dx. This way you can
simply switch from the local channel to the distance channel as you travel from
the city to a more rural area. Most control stations should be Local.
