TX Power Level
If you purchased an ADL radio as a transceiver, you can configure it for various output
power levels. To adjust the transmit power, select it from the list:
If the radio is a receiver-only, this field is grayed out.
The Radio Type field on the Identification screen (see above) indicates if the radio is a
transceiver or receiver only.
If you are configuring an ADL Vantage Pro radio, this option lets you select four power
levels in addition to a low power setting of 2 Watts. You cannot edit the 2 Watt setting.
The other four settings can be in any order, but not higher than the Max TX Power set by
your dealer.
Select the box above the power level at which the ADL Vantage Pro radio will initially
transmit:
Address Settings
Use these fields to set Local and Destination addresses for any two Pacific Crest ADL
transceivers to communicate exclusively with each other.
The main advantage of addressing is the ability to restrict the usage of transmitted data
to a specified receiver. Any receiving rover radio with a Local address different from the
transmitting base radio’s Destination address will delete the data without repeating it over
the air to other radios or sending it serially to an external device such as a GNSS receiver.
Addressing allows multiple transceiver pairs to operate on the same channel without
“seeing” each other’s data. To do this, the addressed radios need Tx/Rx capability.
The addressing feature only works between two radios. In addition, both radios must be
configured for the Transparent FST/EOT/EOC protocols ( from the Serial Interface tab).
The Local address of one radio must be the same as the Destination address of the other
radio, and vice versa. For example, a radio with Local=X and Destination=Y can only
communicate with another radio with Local=Y and Destination=X.
Note – There is no standard in the radio community that defines addressing. Each
manufacturer does things slightly differently. Therefore, when using radios of different brands
in a communication system, addressing should be turned off on all of them.
To select a Local or Destination address, click the appropriate field and enter a number
between 0 and 254. You can enter only one Local and only one Destination address into
any one radio:
