5. You will then be prompted to enter the highest frequency that you
would like to scan. Type in the frequency and press the
ENTER
key followed by the
OK
soft key. The unit will then commence a
scan for the presence of channels. After the scan is done, this
phase of the channel plan building process is complete. Press the
OK
soft key to return to the Channel Plan menu.
Note:
If you are using the Stealth Sweep System to sweep a “system”
that has
NO
active channels, there are a few things you need to be
aware of.
1. When you “build a channel plan” the Stealth unit will always
make one channel active, even if there is no channels on the
system. This may create some confusion. If you use a channel
plan that has a non active channel enabled, it will cause your
sweep display to have erratic readings. But, only at the channel
that is “enabled”. This will in turn cause your MAX/MIN to
fluctuate. You can solve this problem two ways. Either disable
the enabled channel, in “edit channel parameters”. Or, make an
active channel “outside” of the bandwidth you are wanting to test.
Both of these are acceptable solutions.
2. Keep in mind, if you choose to “disable” the “enabled” channel,
and do not enable another channel outside of the “test band-
width”, you will not be able to “copy” this plan to another unit.
The unit you are trying to copy to will give you an “error mes-
sage”: “This plan is corrupted and cannot be used!”. This
message occurs because the unit needs to see an enabled channel
in the channel plan to copy it.
Editing A Channel Plan
The next step is to edit the channel plan to characterize it for your
particular system. Cursor down to Edit Channel Parameters and press
ENTER
. A listing of all the channels within the frequency range
designated in the Build Channel Plan phase will appear on the
screen. Notice that there are columns for enabled, channel type,
channel number, label, frequency (video carrier), sweep, scrambled,
tilt, and scrambled.
