Parameter
Locality
This is an eight-character name given to the locality to identify it during programming. It is not displayed by the
Name
transceiver.
Number
The number from 1-1023 assigned to LTR-Net localities. Each LTR-Net locality that a mobile can access must
have a different locality number, and the same scheme must be used to program the mobiles and repeaters.
Type
Selects the type of locality (LTR-Net, LTR-Net Multiple Home, LTR, or Conventional) when new localities are
created (see Section 3.11.2).
Band
The frequency band in which the locality operates. The frequency band selected when the first locality is
created or before any localities are created by the Radio Type screen (see Section 3.6.2). Once a locality is cre-
ated, the band cannot be changed.
UID
With LTR-Net localities, programs the unique ID of the mobile when it accesses that locality. Numbers from
1-65503 can be programmed.
Area
"0" is usually programmed unless two LTR or LTR-Net localities are close enough to interfere with each other.
One locality is then programmed "0" and the other "1".
Rx/Tx Base
This is a non-editable field shown for reference only. It indicates the base receive and transmit frequency used
Frequency
to derive the frequency of each channel.
Power
Programs the power output that is selected when the transceiver accesses that locality. High (4 watts) or low
(1 watt) levels can be selected (Section 2.4.8).
Dropout
Programs the percentage that the squelch is tightened when no call is occurring. The higher the percentage, the
Percentage
sooner automatic locality search occurs. The default value is 33%. If there is no other site nearby, this percent-
age should always be 0% (Section 2.9.4).
Capture
Programs the percentage that the squelch is tightened after the first pass when searching for a new site ("LCL
Percentage
SRCH" displayed). The higher the percentage, the stronger the signal must be in order to attempt registration on
a site. This parameter should always be greater than or equal to the preceding Dropout Percentage. The default
value is 46% (Section 2.9.4).
Tight
Programs the percentage squelch is tightened during the first pass when searching for a new site ("HSQ SRCH"
Capture
displayed). The higher the percentage, the stronger the signal must be in order to attempt registration on a site.
Percentage
This parameter should always be greater than or equal to the preceding Capture Percentage. The default value is
80% (Section 2.9.4).
