5.6.1 Conventional Stations (Setup)
The initial Setup screen in the TQS3353 software allows the station to be defined as one of several
Conventional station types include: No Remote, DC Remote, Tone Remote, Type 90 and DTMF.
Other station types appear in the Setup screen however only the above are applicable to Conventional
stations. The other station types are: Simulcast, Trunked and Multi-Receiver.
5.6.1.1 No Remote
This type of station configuration is typically selected when the station will be operating as a stand-alone
repeater. As the name implies, no remote control features will be activated during this mode.
5.6.1.2 DC Remote
Base, Repeater, and Transmit-only stations may be controlled remotely via 2-wire or 4-wire telephone
line connections using DC Remote control signaling. DC Remote control uses a DC loop current placed
on the phone line to remotely control certain preprogrammed station features such as TX PTT, channel
selection and CG Enable/Disable. Further information on 2-wire and 4-wire operation may be found in
Section
5.6.9.1, and further information about DC Remote control may be found in Section 5.6.9.2
5.6.1.3 Tone Remote
Similar to DC Remote control, Tone Remote control uses audible control tones sent via the phone line to
remotely access certain preprogrammed station features such as TX PTT, channel selection and CG
Enable/Disable. Further information may be found in Section
0.
5.6.1.4 Type 90
With Type 90 (T90) signaling, a station is setup to accept a burst of single-tone transmitted by a mobile or
portable at the beginning of a transmission which activates certain base or repeater station functions such
as CG Disable or Repeater Enable.
For example: when T90 is used to control the Repeater Enable function and the System Module detects
the proper T90 signal, the repeater is keyed and operates in carrier squelch, CG or DCG tone mode until
one of three things occur: the repeater’s receiver is squelched, the repeater’s Drop Out Delay Timer is
reset, or the repeater Time Out Timer un-keys the station and the repeater is disabled until the next valid
T90 tone is received.
There are ten (10) different T90 tones available: 1050 Hz, 1200 Hz, 1350 Hz, 1500 Hz, 1650 Hz, 1800
Hz, 1950 Hz, 2100 Hz, 2250 Hz, and 2400 Hz.
5.6.1.5 DTMF
When DTMF is selected, the station is setup to function as a repeater and uses over-the-air DTMF
signaling to enable or disable the repeater and to make channel selections when multiple receive or
transmit frequencies are assigned during special applications.
5.6.2 Main Station Data
Main station data may be programmed using the New, Change or Read tabs in the TQS3353
programming software. The New tab allows the programmer start with a clear database thereby requiring
all parameters and features to be properly programmed from scratch. The Change tab allows the
programmer to modify an existing data file previously stored to hard drive. The Read tab allows the
programmer to read and save the station personality while directly connected to the station’s Data port.
