Upgrading Radio Firmware; Calibrating A Dual-Radio System - Tait TM8260 Installation And Programming Manual

For the cross-band repeater to operate correctly with other base stations or
System Timing
repeaters, system timing must be taken into account. If using subaudible

Upgrading Radio Firmware

The Tait Firmware Upgrade Tool (from the programming application, click
Tools > Download) shows the NTID (network ID) for each device. When
reporting a radio system's configuration, the table will list the various types
of firmware for all devices in the system.
When you download firmware to hardware of a particular type (for example,
the target hardware shows as a radio body), it will be sent to all devices in
the system of the same hardware type. The firmware will be downloaded to
each device in sequence.
For more information, access the Help of the Tait Firmware Upgrade Tool
(Help menu).

Calibrating a Dual-Radio System

TM8260 dual radio systems do not support calibration of the radio system
as a whole. The system must first be disassembled to a single head / single
body configuration. If calibration is required after repair, the radio body
must be calibrated outside of the system before re-installation.
To disassemble the radio to a single head and body, see
