Near Site
Select “Null” through “5”. As the radio remains
on a PassPort site, it will collect a list of its
immediate neighbors called its “Neighbor
List”. As the IC-F620/F621TR searches, it will
remember the neighbor lists from the sites it
visits. This field sets the number of sites that
the radio will reference back to when initiating
a search. In other words, if this setting is set to
“2” then the radio will search the neighbor list
of the past two sites while in roam mode. If
each list has 5 frequencies (the limit) in them,
then the radio could potentially search 10
frequencies while roaming. These lists are
usually searched a few times before the radio
extends its search by going to “Far Sites” and
Seed Frequencies.
Null
(Blank)
Consult your
system
operator.
Given no
other
guidance
however, try
setting this at
“2” initially if
using seeds
and “5” if
not.
Site
Depth
Far Site
Select “Null” through “5”. As the radio remains
on a PassPort site, it will collect a list of its
immediate neighbors called its “Neighbor
List”. As the IC-F620/F621TR searches, it will
remember the neighbor lists from the sites it
visits. This field sets the number of sites that
the radio will reference back to when initiating
a search AFTER SEARCHING NEAR SITES.
In other words, if this setting is set to “3” then
the radio will search the near sites a few times
first. Then it will go to this list and search the
neighbor list of the past three sites while in
roam mode. If each list has 5 frequencies (the
limit) in them, then the radio could potentially
search 15 frequencies while roaming. As the
radio searches “Far Sites” it also intersperses
frequencies from the Seed List (if used) to
improve the chances of finding a site.
Null
(Blank)
Consult your
system
operator. It is
recommend
that this be
set only if
you don’t use
seeds and
PassPort
Network the
radio will be
using is very
large.
RSSI
Condition
RSSI
Enable
Select “Enable” or “Disable”. If enabled, the
radio will use RSSI criteria when deciding to
attempt to register to a system. If disabled,
RSSI criteria are ignored by the radio.
Disable
(Blank)
Set as
needed.
Generally
should be
enabled.
RSSI
Condition
Min
Enter from 0 to 255. This number can only be
set to the same value or less than the value in
the Preferred field so to make it less frustrating,
set the Preferred field first. This is the
minimum field strength required to remain
registered to a site. If the minimum field
strength drops below the time set by the Los
Time field, the radio will initiate looking for
another site. To cross-reference this RSSI value
to applied signal strength, please refer to the
chart on page 71.
0
Set as
needed. A
good value to
work with is
17.
