Figure 29 - 5GHz Channel Selection
Note some of the Groups use DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selections) and if using these DFS channels you
need to be aware that there will be a minimum 60 seconds scan/monitor time that the radio must
perform to check there are no Military or Commercial Radars using the same frequency. If a Radar is
detected the radio must select another random channel and again go through the 60 second
scan/monitor time.
3.10 - Advanced Radio Configuration
Some of the more advanced radio settings have been moved from the normal Radio configuration page so as to simplify
the configuration process.
Care should be taken when making changes to parameters on this page.

TX Antenna
Select which antenna port the module will transmit from. Selections available
are
Main Port Only – Messages are transmitted from the main “TX/RX” port, The
Auxiliary port “RX” is disabled.
Both (Diversity) – Both ports will be used to transmit however not at the same
time; it calculates the best port based on previous transmissions and MAC
addressing. Note: Broadcast / UDP transmission messages will initially toggle
between the antenna ports, and could result in every second message not
being heard until the module learns which device can be reached through
which antenna port.
Aux Port Only – Messages will be transmitted via the Auxiliary “RX” port only
RX Antenna
Same as for TX Antenna above but for the Receiver port. Setting to “Both
(Diversity)” will allow a high gain antenna to be connected to the Auxiliary “RX”
port which will give better RX signal gain but not increase the TX gain and
possibly pushing it over the regulatory EIRP threshold.
