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 (

Figure 4

), 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.
