data rates
5-kHz DAMA only
1. From database menu, press enter (or 1).
2. Use arrow keys to scroll through options—VIEW, ADD, DELETE, MODIFY.
3. Enter on ADD.
4. Enter guard list addresses
Notes. Guard list includes addresses for which operator wishes to receive
services; it does not impact who is called.
Each address must be 5 digits long.
Up to 15 different addresses may be entered.
Always enter network address in the guard list. Terminal addresses may
be entered if the operator wishes to listen to calls made to that address.
In 5-kHz DAMA, if a terminal address is entered in the guard list, the
controller also logs in that TBA. When the terminal attempts to log in, it is
denied. Be careful.
1. Enter LAT—N or S and four-digit number N.
2. Enter LON—E or W and four-digit number E.
3. Enter time—Must be Zulu time (if no time was entered, the time reflected is how
long the terminal is turned on).
Note. This needs to be entered only if terminal is set up for silent, passive mode
in 5-kHz DAMA. This is NOT the preferred method.
TBA from the SOI.
Note: Every terminal must have its own terminal address; no two terminals can
come up on a DAMA channel with the same address.
Enter stationary.
Enter MANUAL if the radio is to hold the message, AUTO if the message is to go
straight into the data device (rule of thumb, KL-43, DMDG, PSC-2A, use MANUAL;
VDC-400/computer, use AUTO).
Note: If voice is used, this field always reverts to manual.
Check only the ones used. If voice is used, 2400 bps must be checked.
