Setting Radio Channels Radio Control Overview The radio receiver units used in Daktronics scoreboards have a channel-setting switch that can be set from 1 through 8 (channels 0, and 9-15 are not used). The receivers also have a jumper that can be used to select a broadcast group from 1-4. The broadcast group defines a group of radio receivers that “listen”...
Single Controller System In a single controller system (Figure 3), all radio receivers and all scoreboards receive signal from the same console at all times. The default channel and broadcast group settings on the receiver are not typically modified. An example of this type of system is a football field with a scoreboard in one or both end zones displaying the same information.
Multiple Controller System with Single Broadcast Group In a multiple controller system with a single broadcast group (Figure 4), there may be one console for each scoreboard and/or one master controller that can run every scoreboard at one time or take control of a specific scoreboard. An example of this type of system is a softball complex with individual scoreboards on several different fields.

Multiple controller systems typically use Broadcast 1 and Channel 1 for the first controller and Channels 2-8 for all remaining controllers. All jumpers in the radio receivers must be set to Broadcast 1 (BCAST 1). Display Action The LCD shows the current radio settings along with a prompt RADI O SETTI NGS to accept or modify these values.
Multiple Controller with Multiple Broadcast Groups In a multiple controller system with multiple broadcast groups (Figure 5), there are many consoles that control multiple scoreboards and/or scoreboard groups. The radio receiver inside the scoreboard is set to broadcast group 1, 2, 3, or 4. By changing the console settings to the specific broadcast group address, a single console can control all scoreboards or specific groups of scoreboards.

Typically all multiple controller systems will use Broadcast Group 1 Channel 1 for the first controller in Broadcast Group 1 and Broadcast Group 2 Channel 1 for the first controller in Broadcast Group 2. All other consoles in a group are added sequentially, using channels 2-8 for groups 1 and 3, and channels 2-4 for groups 2 and 4.
