Repeat – This mode of operation uses a ground or air based repeater to retransmit your signal to another radio.
Transmit and receive frequencies are different.
RP - Acronym for “Remote Programmer”. Wulfsberg’s software to program the C-5000 with channel information
via a connector of the front of the C-5000 is called the RP Software. It is recommended that this method is
used whenever possible to program the C-5000 memory. While front panel programming is available for
emergencies, using the RP software is less prone to operator errors and automatically provides for memory
backup in case on control head failure.
RSS – Acronym for “Radio Service Software”. A PC application used for configuring, uploading, and downloading
information into the RT-5000’s Internal Transceiver Modules.
RT System – Another way of saying Receiver/Transmitter System. Most often, the term refers to a single
transceiver. However, because the Flexcomm I transceivers can be ganged together and controlled as one
radio, it can refer to more than one transceiver. The C-5000 can control up to two RT systems.
RX – Abbreviation for “Receive”
Shadow Key – Special encryption key used to encrypt the keys received during the OTAR process.
Squelch level – Signal level at which the radio will detect a strong enough signal has been detected by the radio and
audio is allowed to go to the user.
Transceiver – A radio containing both a transmitter and a receiver, co-located in one box.
Trunking – A term used to describe a communication system that automatically assigns an available channel to the
operator. This type of system can improve channel use to the point that more conversations are going on than
channels available. There are many different Trunking systems available. Most are proprietary to each
manufacturer. In other words, system built by different radio manufacturers will NOT communicate with
each other. Only the P25 Trunking standard guarantees interoperability.
TX – Abbreviation for “Transmit”.
Volume – Loudness of a voice signal.
