Base Frequency Scan:
The PRO850 system gives you the ability to automatically scan for the best available preprogrammed
frequencies, which it will assign to the Base transmitters and receivers. This feature can only be used
online, and with a Beltpac connected to the base.
From the Configure tab >Edit Base Configuration box >Base>Config>Scan Frequencies section,
click on the Start Scan button to start the scan process.
NOTE: Only preprogrammed frequencies are scanned. Scanning does not guarantee the
frequencies are not in use. DTV signals confuse the scan.
Connect a Beltpac to the BELTPAC CONFIG connector on the front panel of the base to enable
scanning of base transmit frequencies.
In this operation, the Beltpac and base receivers are scanned to find the cleanest group of
frequencies for the base to transmit on, and they are assigned to Tx1 and Tx2 in the base. Also,
based on the number of receivers in the system (up to 12), it determines the best group of
frequencies for the base(s) to receive on. Those frequencies are distributed (first-come, first-served)
to the Beltpacs (assuming 16 Beltpacs will be used) as Beltpac transmit frequencies. Beltpac receiver
frequencies are always the same as the base Tx1 and Tx2 frequencies.
Beltpac frequency settings will not be operational until they are uploaded to the Beltpacs, which
should be done after completion of Beltpac configuration settings.
These settings will automatically be saved to File 1 as active settings for the base until the frequencies
are scanned again. They can also be saved to another file name for future use.
NOTE: In a Master/Slave configuration, always perform frequency scans at the Master base. The
Master will automatically save its settings in File 1. However, the Slave(s) will not. Slave settings
must be saved manually at each Slave, or with PC850 using Copy Files menu (SECTION 4)
