20 Tempest®24 00 MasterBelt

Split Mode

In Split mode, some users are opera ng in Normal and some in Shared mode. This mode oﬀ ers the use of 4 BeltSta ons (per

MasterBelt) that u lize the standard any me talk back capability and allows an unlimited number of “shared” BeltSta ons

to listen and talk on the  nal slot. In this mode, shared BeltSta ons have no control over which channel they operate on.

The channel is designated at the MasterBelt.

» Unlimited number of (shared) BeltSta ons may be used in addi on to

the 4 BeltSta ons opera ng in Normal mode; BeltSta ons are inherently

full duplex (talk/listen at the same  me, push-to-talk) and are physically

no diﬀ erent than a BeltSta on opera ng in Normal mode.

» Shared BeltSta ons operate in momentary talk mode; only one shared

BeltSta on may u lize the talk func on at any given  me.

» Shared BeltSta ons are unable to provide telemetry to the MasterBelt.

Volume of the BeltSta on that is ac vely talking is dynamically reduced

to minimize the eﬀ ect of echo.
