status.

 

„

-TX-:

 This radio is a transmitter. See Figure 15.

 

„

SYNC’D:

 This radio is a receiver, and the binding code and hop frequency 

have been recognized in the network. See Figure 16.

 

„

NOSYNC:

 This radio is a receiver, but it has no network connection.  

See Figure 17.

TAPCO PN:

 Identifies the TAPCO radio part number

Radio Fw V

 identifies the Firmware Version. See Figure 18. 

LCD Fw Ver

 identifies the LCD display board Firmware. See Figure 18. 

Bind Code

 identifies the 8-digit code that matches all other radios in the 

network. See Figure 18.

NOTICE

A radio must have the same 

BindCode

 (Binding Code) and 

Hop Seq.

  

(Hop Channel) as every other radio in the network.

Note:  

If this radio’s 

BindCode

 does not match the 

BindCode

 of the 

other radios in the network, see 

Set Binding Code

 in the 

Radio 

Setup

 menu or 

Quick Setup

 menu.

NetCnt/Size: NetCnt

 (Network Count) shows all radios in the network. 

Size

 

is the maximum number of radios in a network, which is 16. See Figure 19.

Radio Fw PN

 identifies the Firmware Part Number. See Figure 19. 

Hop Seq.

 (Frequency Hopping Channel) selects which frequency hopping 

pattern is used by the network. See Figure 19.
