SNV-12 Operations Manual
5-16
As with some of the other available TX-steering formats, a Holdover Timer determines how
long console transmissions are steered to the selected group. When the timer has expired,
console transmissions are sent to the Default TX Site.
Note that a voting system may contain a combination of group and non-group sites. If a non-
group site is voted, the system reacts as if there were no groups. This simply means that the
unit does not treat sites that have no group selected as a collective “Group Zero”; these sites
continue to be treated as individual sites. If STARS and Groups are enabled and a non-group
site is voted, that single site is then selected for console transmissions as long as the Holdover
Timer is running.
5.18.1
Group Operation and Repeat Mode
If Repeat Mode is enabled and an RX Group is voted, voted audio is retransmitted only to all
TX eligible sites in that group (or only to the group‟s Primary Sites, if any are designated).
If a voting system has Repeat Mode enabled and contains sites that are grouped as well as sites
that are not in groups, and a non-group site is voted, voted audio is retransmitted based solely
on the Default TX Site selection, and not on which other sites may be group members.
5.18.2
Group Lockout With Primary Site Failure
When RX Group operation is enabled, the Group Lockout with Primary Site Failure feature
may also be enabled. The purpose is to prevent voting any sites in a group with a faulty
transmitter. This ensures that console transmissions will not be steered solely to a bad
transmitter at the group primary site. Since the SNV-12 has no means to determine when a
transmitter has failed, it can assume that if the receiver at the transmitter site has failed, the
transmitter is also down. Any time this feature is selected, a line fault at a group primary site
locks out the entire group, removing all member sites from consideration for voting until the
fault is cleared. This feature is selected by dipswitch SW3-6 on the CPM module. Group
Lockout can be overridden by Manual TX Steering.

Console Transmissions / Transmit Steering
Normally, console audio is transmitted via the Default TX Site (or sites) whenever the console
PTT input is asserted. There are three methods to cause other sites to be keyed instead-
Automatic TX steering, Manual TX Steering, or Function Tone Guided TX Steering.
5.19.1
STARS (Automatic Transmit Steering)
In many voting systems, a console operator must quickly respond to a message coming in from
one of the satellite receiver sites; the operator‟s response must be routed to the transmitter
closest to the receiver that best heard the incoming message. The SNV-12 can be set to provide
automatic routing of console transmit audio and keying signals to the proper transmitter site.
When automatic Transmit Steering is enabled, the CPM module selects a transmitter for the
dispatcher's reply based on the history of which receiver site was voted best during the end of
the voting sequence, not only on which receiver was voted last. This automatic TX Steering is
called STARS, which stands for
