Page 11: Applications
TB7300 base station can provide two traffic channels, two control channels, or both a traffic channel and a control channel. In an MPT network, the TB7300 operates as a control channel or as a traffic channel. The TB7300 operates with a trunking node or in fallback operation either trunked or conventional. -
Page 12: Licenses
The feature sets currently available are listed below. The base stations in a Tait DMR Tier 3 Network are controlled by a node (DMR trunking controller). Tait sells three types of node: Full, Express20 and Express6. - Page 13 This license entitles a standalone node to control a single (TBAS303) site of up to four physical channels. A base station with this license can operate in a Tait DMR Tier 2 DMR Conventional (TBAS304) conventional network. It can also operate as a stand-alone repeater, or as a member of a multi-site system (under the supervision of a DMR conventional node).
