•
Sets the signal threshold when using the locator probe. In this mode, the OSCOR
generates an audible tone, where the pitch corresponds to the strength above the
squelch threshold of the signal. This is used to find an RF transmitter (see page 59
Locating RF (500KHz to 3GHz) Transmitters), or an IR threat when using the
parabolic audio reflector that is part of the OTL (see page 60 Locating Infrared
Transmitters).
•
Adjusts the delay time from 0.1 to 99 seconds, using the MENU button to access
the Squelch Menu.
Tone Ringer System
The OSCOR has a built-in ringing system designed to mimic a telephone ringer. This
ringer can be used for several functions:
•
To provide a reliable sound source to confirm threats when using the Correlator
Mode manually (see page 54 Correlate Confirm Mode).
•
To provide an audible alert in the Automatic Mode (see page 76 Automatic Mode
Audible Alert).
•
To provide a sound source for the verify and active correlate methods in the
Automatic Mode (see page 78 Correlate: Acoustic Correlator System
(Automatic)).
There are three volume levels for the tone ringer system: “LOW”, “MEDIUM”, and
“LOUD”.
To set the volume of the tone ringer system:
1. Press the TONE button; this will automatically turn on the ringer to allow you to
monitor the volume and open a Tone Alert Volume Menu.
2. Select the desired volume by pressing
F1 (labeled LOW)
F2 (labeled MEDIUM)
F3 (labeled LOUD)
To stop the ringing:
1. Press the TONE button,
2. OR press the F4 button (labeled SILENCE). The MENU button will exit the menu
but will not terminate the ringer.
