3.5.3 Selecting a Band
The Strata RX can be equipped to operate on two different
bands, designated as “High Band” and “Low Band”. The
assignment of “High Band” and “Low Band” to RF hardware
installed in the RX is performed at the factory, as part of the
manufacturing process. This assignment cannot be changed in
the field.
Consult your Sales Representative for the latest Band switching
availability.
If your RX System
is
equipped for Band Switching, the following
section describes how it works.
Channel Plan and Frequencies
When you select a Band, the
RX recalls from memory the Channel Plan for that Band,
including all assignments of Frequencies to Channels and
Offsets.
This means that if, for example, your RX is set to Channel 1 on
the 2 GHz Band, and the Band is changed to 7 GHz, the RX will
now be set to Channel 1 ‘as defined in the 7GHz Channel Plan.
To select which Band to use, follow these steps:
Be sure Strata is connected and
powered. See “Setting Up” and
“Turning the power ON and OFF”.
Start at the Main Screen.
Preset #3
-43.2 dBm
Note If your RX System contains only an RCU, the front
panel menus will still show the
Set RF Band
choice. However that choice will not operate and
should be ignored.
Turn the Control Switch LEFT until the
display reads
Set RF Band.
Push the Control Switch to select
Set RF Band.
The display will also indicate
High
or
LOW
.
Push the Control Switch to change
the Band setting.
Note
: This step will only work if your
Strata RX is equipped for Band
Switching.
Display indicates the new setting,
then changes back to the Main
Screen after the default delay.
