If a Master radio detects radar, it issues a channel change announcement to all
Clients and Repeaters in the network. Then it moves to a new channel within the
Channel Move Time. (Typically, this move time is 500 milliseconds or less.) If the
selected channel was not previously checked for the presence of radar, the
Master radio must do so for the Channel Availability Check Time before it can
begin to transmit. If the newly-selected channel is not a DFS channel, or if the
channel was previously monitored for radar since the radio was powered on,
transmissions can begin immediately.
During the Channel Availability Check Time, a radio blinks all three amber Signal
Strength LEDS approximately once per second. If radar is detected on the new
channel during the Channel Availability Check Time, the Master randomly selects
another channel and begins the process again
.
If a Repeater in a network detects radar, it will notify the Master to change
channels.
6.8.2 DFS Auto Select
One of the Master channel selection options is DFS Auto Select.
With this selection the radio randomly selects a DFS channel for operation. The
actual channel in operation is always shown in the Current Channel display:
