10. Tune-up and Alignment 

The 

RV-M8-UC 

modem has been factory calibrated, in should not require any re-

calibration when installed, or when changing frequency or channel.  Unless the 
user is trained in radio test and calibration, the values stored in the R registers 
should not be modified.  Radio calibration and alignment is performed using the 

ATRx

 commands.   

Improper adjustment of the radio calibration (R0-R9 and RA registers), can 
result in failure of the radio modem.    

Calibration and alignment values are stored internal to the modem in the “R” 
registers.  (R0-R9 and RA).   For example, to read R5, issue the 

ATR8 

command 

without any parameter.   To change the setting, issue the 

ATR8 nn 

command, 

where nn is the new value you would like to store.  

Once you read a register using an ATRx command, you may modify its value by 
entering a “U” for up or a “D” for down.  U or D will change the value by one.  Use 
this trick carefully, because it modifies the last R register that was read, and it is 
easy to unintentionally modify the wrong register.  

10.1. Periodic Calibration 

The only setting that may require adjustment is the center frequency.  After years 
of operation, all crystals will age and change frequency slightly.  The ATR8 
command is used to adjust the center frequency.  Like all narrow-band radios, 
semi-annual checks and adjustment of frequency is recommended. 

10.2. Calibration Commands 

The following AT commands are used to calibrate the M8.  Do not ever change 
these unless you have been factory trained to do so.

Parameters

 

Factory

 

Default 

 

R0 

Symbol Peak Deviation 

– Set the peak FM deviation of 

the transmit symbols.  Note: This can be a negative 
number to invert the modulation. 

 

Range: -1000 – 1000 

120** 

R1 

Select CD pin output signal 

– CD pin may be RF 

carrier detect, or modem data detect, off, on, or RX data 
framing, or on-line status.  Line status mode asserts CD 
when on-line in normal modem operation and it negates 

CD when in the command mode. 

 

Range : 0 - 5 

5 = RX data framing. Assert 
when outputting data 

4 = Line stat.  
3 = Always negate CD 

2 = Always assert CD 
1 = Data CD 

0 = RF CD

 

(RF Carrier)

 

R2 

Over-The-Air bit rate 

-  This is the data rate the radio 

uses to send data over the air. 

 All RF modems in the 

network must use the same over-the-air baud rate

.  

 

Range: 

0 = 800 

5 = 9600 2L 

1 = 1200 

6 = 19200 4L 

2 = 2400 

7 =  5142 2L 

3 = 4800 

8 = 9600 4L 

4 = 8000 4L  9 = 2000 2L
