Transmitters must be enabled in the Basestation using the spYconfig software. Signals arriving at the Basestation which have not been enabled within the Base-station configuration will be ignored. Reference : SIG-1227-01-07 Change Note : CN0112 spYdaq Hardware Manual Page 7 of 36... -
Page 8: Setting The Channel Frequency
Note: whatever frequency is selected for transmission, ALL TRANSMITTERS MUST BE SET TO THE SAME FREQUENCY and THIS MUST MATCH THE FREQUENCY SELECTED IN THE BASE-STATION. If the user is using a SPYDAQ HPR (High Power Repeater) the transmitter frequency channel may differ to the Base-Station channel due to the repeaters operation. -
