3.2.3 RP-8 Channel Block Assignment
If your system uses only one RP-8 you may skip this section.
Each RP-8 panel in the system should be assigned to a different “block” of eight channels. The channel blocks are:
00-07, 08-15, 16-23, 24-31, 32-39, 40-47, 48-55 and 56-63. Normally, consecutive blocks of channels are used but
this is not necessary.
Channel block assignment is made by moving a selection jumper located at the left end of each RP-8 panel. Simply
move the jumper to the desired block position.

Be aware that the RFC-1 “rests” on channel 63 during idle conditions (in between telephone calls and not scanning).
If the last block of channels is used (56-63), the telemetry relay for channel 63 will be energized during idle periods.
This is not normally an issue.
