    Repeater Station Diagnostics

    Diagnostic functions can also be performed "over-the-air" for hilltop repeater stations from a central master station.


    Advanced Diagnostic Software

    This optional software is designed to run on an IBM PC/AT or PC/AT-compatible computer connected to a Model 1800A radio. The PC may connect to the master station locally, via telephone line or microwave link, without the use of modems.

    When running this software, a PC may monitor and report the Model 1800A's performance. Using the software-provided commands, a technician can display a graphic representation of the front panel, remotely select the transmitter, and perform a battery test. The software can also display any of the following parameters:

    • RF Output
    • Supply Current
    • Power Supply Voltage
    • RSSI
    • Frequency Offset
    • FM Deviation
    • PTT Keying Mode
    • DOX/VOX Enable
    • Repeater Status
    • TX/RX Frequencies
    • On-Board Time Clock
    • ...and more!
