Project 25 A project set up by APCO (the Association of Public Safety
Communications Officials), together with other US governmental
organizations, to develop standards for interoperable digital radios to meet
the needs of public safety users.
PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network: the public telephone network.
PTT Push To Talk. The button on an SU that keys the transmitter.
Q
QoS Quality Of Service. A router feature that gives real-time data such as voice
calls priority over other data.
R
receiver number A unique number assigned to the members of a channel group.
reciter A module of a base station that provides both receiver and exciter
functionality.
repeater talkaround Allows the SU user to bypass repeater operation and so communicate
directly with other SUs. While repeater talkaround is active, all transmissions
are made on the receive frequency programmed for the channel.
RISC Reduced Instruction Set Computer. A type of microprocessor that
recognizes a relatively limited number of instructions. The reciter’s control
board has a RISC microprocessor.
router A router is an internetwork packet switch that switches data packets from an
input interface to an output interface. The interfaces can be of different
types.
RS-232 A protocol for serial communications between a DTE (data terminal
equipment) and a DCE (data communications equipment) device.
RS-485 An updated version of the RS-232 protocol for serial communications
between multiple devices.
RSSI Received Signal Strength Indicator is a level that indicates the strength of the
received signal.
