SATEL-EASy+ 

User Manual 

Version 1.19 

 

 

39 

 

Channel spacing defines the frequency difference between 
adjacent radio channels. In the context of SATEL-EASy+ modems 
it defines also the width of the radio channel. 
Default value: 12.5 kHz 

Tx Power 

EASy+ supports transmitter output power levels: 
100, 200, 500 or 1000 mW. Default value: 1000 mW 

Signal threshold 

RSSI Signal threshold defines the minimum power level (dBm) of 
the radio signal to be received. Any transmissions below the 
threshold level are ignored. Note that the greater the absolute 
value is the weaker is the signal threshold level (-110 dBm is 
weaker than -90 dBm). Value range is -

80 … 

-118 dBm. 

Default value: -115 dBm 

Channel list 

Selects whether the list of predefined radio channels is used for 
the configuration of radio parameters. 
Default value: Channel list OFF 

TX Start Delay 

Defines the extra time (0...65000 ms) the radio modem waits 
before starting to transmit. Data is buffered during the delay. 
Default value: 0 ms (=no delay) 

Radio Compatibility 

Defines the radio protocol 
Options are SATELLINE-3AS, SATELLINE 3AS-OA 

Note*)

, 

SATELLINE 3AS-8-/16FSK, SATELLINE-2ASxE 

Note*)

, PacCrest-

4FSK, PacCrest-GMSK 
TrimTalk450s (P), TrimTalk450s (T), PacCrest-FST 
Default value: SATELLINE-3AS 

Call Sign 

Call sign means that the modem transmits its Call sign ID 
periodically using Morse keying. 
Call sign is configured using three settings: 
a) Call sign mode sets Call sign operation ON/OFF. 
b) Call sign ID defines Morse code to be transmitted, max. sixteen 
characters, capital letters and numbers are allowed (lower case 
letters are converted automatically to uppercase letters). 
If Call sign mode is not used (OFF) you can enter e.g. "CALLSIGN" 
for the Call sign ID. 
c) Call sign timer is the interval (1...30 min) between Call sign 
transmissions. 
One Call sign transmission may take several seconds to transmit, 
depending on the Call sign ID. 
Default value: Call sign mode OFF 

RX Address 

See the chapter REPEATER MODE AND ADDRESSING 
Default value: OFF (Rx Address Disabled) 

TX Address 

See the chapter REPEATER MODE AND ADDRESSING 
Default value: OFF (Tx Address Disabled) 

RX addressing to RS port  See the chapter REPEATER MODE AND ADDRESSING 

Default value: OFF 

TX address auto switch 

See the chapter REPEATER MODE AND ADDRESSING
