206 Glossary
The temperature of the air as measured at the PA's air intake.
Anti-kerchunking is a base station configuration that discourages
users from kerchunking.
A balanced line has two wires carrying equal and opposite signals.
It is typically used in a line-connected base station for connecting
to the despatcher console. The system interface identifies the
balanced line in as Rx+ and Rx-, and the balanced line out as
Tx+ and Tx-.
BCD (binary coded decimal) is a code in which a string of four
binary digits represents a decimal number.
A BSS (base station system) is a subrack containing at least one
TB8100 base station.
The TB8100 Calibration Kit is a utility for defining the
switching ranges of the receiver and the exciter and for flattening
the receiver response across its switching range. It can also be
used to calibrate various parts of the reciter and the PA circuitry.
CCDI2 (computer controlled data interface version 2) is a
proprietary Tait command protocol used between computer
equipment and a Tait radio.
A channel is:
1. A frequency pair (or just a single frequency in a simplex
system).
2. A set of configuration information that defines the frequency
pair and other settings. Also referred to as a channel
configuration. Generally, 'channel' has this meaning in the
Service Kit.
