Pressing the Wireless Key -
future feature
Deva 24 can interface with 2 RX12 receivers. When an RX12 is connected to the Deva 24 pressing the WIRELESS key
opens the RX12 interface menu. The RX12 menu is divided into six sectors, one sector for each QRX 212 module. Each
sector will display the following information:
RX12 interface
Frequency -
This is the frequency the RX12 is set to. If the module is in dual mode
both frequencies will be displayed, the A frequency will be on the left and the B
receiver will be on the right. If the frequency is highlighted in red that means the
selected frequency is outside the range of 35MHz filter. Keep in mind while
frequencies outside the range of the 35MHz may still work though performance will
be less than optimal.
Battery level
-
A battery indicator will display the approximate battery level for each transmitter. A fully charged
battery will display green and then turn red as the battery depletes its charge. The battery icon will start blinking
when the battery has roughly 15 to 30 minutes of charge left. Please note that when the battery is low the
transmitter may not go into record.
Transport status
-
The transport status of the transmitter’s onboard recorder will be indicated just above the RF
signal strength meter:
•
STOP / STP- Recording / Playback is stopped
•
REC - The transmitter is recording
•
PLAY - The transmitter is playing back
RF Signal Strength -
Each module has two RF meters, one for each receiver. The meters show the amount of RF
signal being received. The signal level is visually displayed in the ramp shaped RF meter icon. As the shading
increases from the left to the right the more signal is present. If the icon is shaded red when the transmitter is
powered down that means the receiver is seeing unwanted RF from a source other than from the corresponding
transmitter. If the icon is green the RF is being received from the corresponding transmitter. Within the icon the
actual signal strength, in decibels, is displayed numerically.
Audio Meter -
Each module will display audio meter(s) for each signal received. If the module is set to single mode
one large meter will be shown. If the module is set to dual mode, two large meters will be shown. If the module is
receiving a signal from a stereo transmitter, the large meter will be split in half into two smaller meters,
representing the left and right audio of the transmitter. The meters will show the audio modulation in dBFS. Within
each meter the signal will be represented in green, yellow and red showing the levels, there is also a peak hold
indicator. If a meter has a white X through it that is showing that the receiver is not receiving a valid signal.
