Options
Hardware Options
12V DC Only, L32 This optional module replaces the AC power supply in sites where AC power
is not available and allows the Consolette to operate with a 12V DC battery or
generator.
Omit Microphone, L73 This option omits the desk microphone, which is part of the standard product.
This option is incompatible with W9 versions (Digital Remote Control) of the
ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus Consolette.
Clock/VU Meter, L114 This option provides a digital clock display with provisions for time setting, and
a VU meter which provides indication of transmit audio level in the form of
incremental bars.
Tone Remote Control,
L146
This option provides tone remote control capability, as well as a digital interface
to the Gold Series Elite Console. This option is incompatible with W9 versions
(Digital Remote Control) of the ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus Consolette. See
the note on page 1 concerning SCAN.
Software Options
Enhanced Digital PTT-ID
Console, G114
This option provides display capability of Push-To-Talk, Private Call, Call Alert,
and Emergency Call IDs. This information will either be displayed on the local
control head (W7 models) or at the remote control head (W9 models). If the
TRC option L146 is ordered in combination with the G114 option, then the ID
will be made available to the console. The PTT-ID option is not automatically
enabled in the ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus Consolette. To enable the G114
option, the ID Display field in the ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus Consolette
codeplug will need to be enabled using ASTRO CPS. The ID Display field can
be found in the Radio Configuration –> Display & Menu section of the ASTRO
Spectra/Spectra Plus Consolette codeplug.
NOTE: The ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus Consolette uses an
ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus Mobile subscriber radio as its
transceiver. Therefore, the ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus
Consolette will NOT decode an Emergency Alarm generated
by field subscriber units, and it will NOT display the
Emergency Alarm ID locally or at a console station. This
signal is typically generated by the subscriber radio by
pushing the orange alarm button.
Enhanced Stat-Alert
Repeater Access, G101
This option allows the user to access a specific repeater for voice and data
transmission. This option is NOT available on the ASTRO Spectra Plus
Consolette.
