Setting Radio Channels
5
Typical Radio Configurations
There are three different radio scenarios that can be accommodated: a single
controller system, a multiple controller system with a single broadcast group, and a
multiple controller system with multiple broadcast groups. Each of these configurations is
described in detail in the following sections.
Single Controller System
In a single controller system (
), all radio receivers and all scoreboards receive
signal from the same console at all times. The default channel and broadcast group
settings on the receiver are not typically modified. An example of this type of system is a
football field with a scoreboard in one or both end zones displaying the same data.
BCAST 1, CHAN 01-08
to control a specific
scoreboard
BCAST 1-2, CHAN 01-02
to control a specific
scoreboard
BCAST 1-2, CHAN 00
to control a specific
broadcast group

Single Control Console
Typically, all single controller systems will use the default setting BCAST = 1, CHAN = 1.
All radio receivers in the system must be set to the same values.
