3.4.7.2.2 Explanation of Offset Activation
The radio offers a number of different offsets that can be activated. As the
handling of unsupported offsets is different from the handling of any other
unsupported parameter, an explanation is given here to avoid
misunderstandings. Normally unsupported parameters or commands are
rejected by the radio with an error message.
Whether an offset is supported depends on a combination of other
parameters, such as spacing or mode. Please refer to the ICD for a detailed
table with all permitted combinations of modes, offsets and spacings that
can be set to the hardware.
Note: The radio behavior is specified as follows: offsets that are not
permitted in a certain spacing will be accepted and stored by the radio, but
not activated in the hardware. Only when a spacing which supports this
stored offset is activated, the offset will be activated in the hardware. The
consequence of storing the offset is that it can be read out over all
interfaces and it is displayed on the MMI, even if it is not activated in the
hardware because this combination of offset and spacing is not permitted.
