RECOVERY (REVERTS)

Part No. 002-0690-201
4.2 CONSIDER STATUS CHANNEL AND HOME
CHANNEL ACCESS
In simulcast systems, communications between
radios and repeaters use Multi-Net signaling, as
described in the Multi-Net Application Note (Part No.
009-3039-003).
Figure 4-2 shows the relationship between repeat-
ers, channels, and sites in Simulcast and Multi-Net
systems. Multi-Net descriptions often refer to a single
repeater. In a simulcast system, the description would
refer to all repeaters on the same channel.
CAUTION
Radios monitor their home channel and the status
channel for over-the-air instructions. If there are prob-
lems on either channel, radios may not receive their
instructions. Therefore, pay special attention to the sta-
tus channel and home channels when configuring
reverts.
