Figure 34 Bidirectional Amplifier (BDA) Configuration Page
The BDA Support page is used to configure the radio to work with an external bi-directional amplifier.
These settings should be configured before connecting the amplifier to the radio.
• BDA Mode: You can enable or disable the BDA mode here.
Basic Settings:
• BDA Gains for Channels 1-4: Enter the gain (dB) for the power amplifier connected to each
channel of the radio. This is sometimes labeled as Tx gains.
• LNA Gains for Channels 1-4: Enter the gain (dB) for the LNA connected to each channel of the
radio. This is sometimes labeled as Rx gains.
• Maximum BDA Output Power Per Channel (dBm): Enter the maximum output power for each
PA. If the dBm is not listed, you should be able to calculate this from the Watt rating of the amp.
• Apply: Apply the new values but does not save them to flash.
• Save and Apply: Save the new values to flash and apply.
