RF Power Class Toggle
NOTE:
This is a Software Selling Feature.
The RF power toggle is a radio-specific hardware feature enabling the radio to change the transmit
power from Class 4 to Class 3L, or Class 4 to Class 3.
NOTE:
Power Class 3 is only available on MTP6650.
Depending on the codeplug settings, you can toggle through the interface, between high power (Class
3L or Class 3) and normal RF power (Class 4).
The radio can be configured to switch automatically to Class 3L (1.8 W) or Class 3 on entering Direct
Mode Operation (DMO) and to automatically switch to Class 4 (1 W) on entering Trunked Mode
Operation (TMO).
Changing RF power class is performed immediately. The change can be done, for example, during an
active communication. Such action may result in dropping the communication, as the selected power
class setting can be insufficient to sustain the transmission.
2.10.8
Local Site Trunking
NOTE:
This is a Software Selling Feature.
Local Site Trunking (LST) is a feature enabling a Base Station to operate stand-alone. The Base
Station may enter the mode when the link from the local cell to the central switch has gone down. The
radio limits functionality when the cell is in this mode.
NOTE:
Whether a radio can register on cells in LST depends on the codeplug settings.
If system broadcasts indicate that system-wide services are not available (LST) on a cell, the radio
registers on this cell only if there are no system-wide cells available.
Depending on the infrastructure settings, when the radio is operating on an LST cell, the radio may
prevent you from invoking the Short Data Services (SDS) data.
Depending on the codeplug configuration, the radio may indicate entering the LST with the following
notifications:
• Visible and audible
• Visible
• Audible
• None
To avoid unnecessary roaming and reduce congestion, Local Site Trunking Ignoring feature can be
enabled. When Local Site Trunking Ignoring feature is enabled, the radio temporarily ignores the
LST/WST parameter when selecting a site. However, the radio still takes other parameters such as the
Radio Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) level of the cell into consideration when deciding on roaming.
