2.10.2.6 CABLE CONNECTIONS:
The various cables covered by the Application Notes are listed, as well as the type of RF
connector found on the associated radio.
2.10.2.7 DSP JUMPERS:
The proper DSP module audio input configuration jumper settings are listed. See 2.12.4 for
more information regarding the DSP module audio input configuration.
2.10.2.8 RADIO INTERFACE OPTIMIZATION:
This section lists all of the relevant DSP module options settings. These are the same settings
that are automatically configured when the corresponding radio template is loaded via the ACU
Controller. Note that the DSP module has a variety of features that are either not directly
related to the interface cabling or are dependent on the particular system. Some of these
features are covered by the Individual Extension Optimization Procedures explained in Section
2.10.4.
The settings listed in the Application Notes are optimum starting points based on actual radio
tests performed by Raytheon JPS Systems Engineering. Because of radio-to-radio variations
and different operational situations, these are starting points only. Be sure to follow through
with the optimization procedures that follow. The ACU Controller and WAIS Controller also
allow on-the-fly changes of an individual radio interface when dynamic communications
environments require it.
For Example:
• Trunked system channel acquisition delays increase dramatically due to stepped up
system usage.
• A poorly-performing radio in the field must be communicated with, necessitating a
change in RX audio levels or the introduction of Noise Reduction.
• Providing Dispatch Priority to an important system user.
2.10.2.9 NOTES:
Any special notes related to this radio are provided, as well as any setup hints pertaining to
some likely operational scenarios.
