Priority Sampling Rate
RSS LOCATION
DEFINITION
Determines how often the priority channel is sampled for activity when listening
to priority 2 or non-priority channels. This sampling process is known as “look-
back” and causes holes in received audio. The time chosen determines the length
of time between samples. The following picture shows the sequence information.
DEFAULT/CHOICES Default: 0.9 seconds
Choices:
■
0.5 seconds to 4.0 seconds
RECOMMENDATIONS
Only used when list has priority channels. Applies to user scan lists also. The best
choice is always a compromise between probability of missed syllables on the pri-
ority channel and intelligibility of the lower priority channel. Each customer's
preference may be different. For critical use (public safety, etc.) we suggest the
fastest choice.
