Antenna
The radio must be installed within range of the trunk
system’s control channel. A high gain, Yagi-style
directional antenna is recommended for all installations.
Good coax design is required between the antenna and
the radio. In order to minimize phasing interference in a
Simulcast trunking system, the use of a Yagi directional
antenna is of utmost importance.
Placement
The radio should be placed where RF interference that may interrupt its RF
reception is minimized. Since there is rarely any need to touch the radio, there is
no need for the radio to be easily accessible.
Connection to the PC
The transceiver is connected to the computer using the USB programming cable
provided by Motorola. This cable allows the GW_RSP25 module to communicate
to the radio using the Motorola Millennium protocol over a PPP connection. The
PPP connection is created and maintained by the GW_RSP25 module.
Connection Management
PPP Communication with a Motorola XTL series radio requires a Windows
remote access service (RAS) connection. GW_RSP25 automates the process of
creating and dialing this connection when necessary. You can view the RAS
entries created by GW_RSP25 by browsing to
Control Panel\Network
