3. Secondary Channel Operation
Only available on TSAM units with Secondary Option
One unique feature of the TSAM is that it allows a properly equipped steered base station
(receiver/transmitter pair) to be removed from the transmitter steering system and operate as an
independent base/repeater on a second channel. The secondary TSAM channel looks like and additional
channel to the system console. The TSAM supports the selection of up to 15 frequencies for the secondary
base.
Secondary Mode is useful for allowing a wide area coverage system to be used to handle a local incident
without tying up the main channel over the whole coverage area.
