The setup and overall status of the
GOES Radio can be seen via the GOES
Configuration screen. The GOES Radio
must be properly set up and operational
before any transmissions will occur.
Radio Type
Defines the GOES Radio connected
to the System 5000
™
. Currently both
Signal Engineering OmniSat/SE-1200
and Design Analysis H-2221 radios
are supported. To select or change the
Radio Type, press the Edit button next
to the current label.
Port
Defines the port on which the current GOES Radio is connected. System 5000Plus

have an internal GOES Radio and can use the GOES Port (Internal) as their selection. If the
radio is attached externally, the port that the radio is connected to should be selected. To select
or change the port, press the Edit button next to the current label.
Mode
Defines the GOES Radio mode of operation. This option should be turned on after all other
GOES options are set as desired. The system may not allow the radio to be set to a specified
mode if the given Mode’s options are not set properly. If this occurs, the Mode will revert to Off
and the Status message will indicate what needs to be set. Once the initial settings have been set
and the Mode has been chosen, changes to these settings can be made as desired. The Mode
does not need to be set to Off for changes to be saved to the radio.
Options for the GOES mode are as follows:
Off
The radio is disabled and no future transmissions will occur.
Self-Timed
The radio is set for Self-Timed transmissions only.
Random
The radio is set for Random Transmissions only.
Both
Both Self-Timed and Random Transmissions are enabled.
