Wireless Diversity Receiver
Rio Rancho, NM – USA
Main Window
The Main window provides an at-a-glance view of all of your
receivers. The window may be resized to any number of rows
and columns, and the panes representing the individual receiv-
ers may be arranged any way you wish by dragging them with
the mouse. To work with a receiver, you may right-click or
double-click its pane.
Each receiver is represented by a small pane that displays
important status information in real time. In general, indicators
are green or colorless when everything is working properly.
Yellow indicates a warning condition and red means something
needs attention.
If a receiver stops responding (e.g. if it is accidentally un-
plugged), its pane will appear disabled or “grayed out” and the
other panes will continue to operate normally. Double-clicking
a disabled pane attempts to reconnect with the receiver.
Batt shows the transmitter battery voltage whenever this
information can be ascertained. Generally the transmitter
battery information appears about 30 seconds after the radio
link is established and remains valid thereafter. The battery
indicator may go blank if the received signal strength is too
weak to provide a reliable indication. The background turns
yellow and then red as the battery voltage drops to critical
levels.
Temp shows the temperature inside the receiver. In the
unlikely event that a rack full of poorly ventilated gear in a hot
location becomes hot enough that reliable operation cannot be
guaranteed, the indicator background will turn red. A yellow
background means that the temperature is almost hot enough
to cause reliability problems. Temperature may be displayed
in Fahrenheit or Celsius degrees, as selected in the options
window.
The Pilot indicator is green when a pilot tone is present, red
when no pilot tone is present, and yellow when the pilot tone
detection feature of the receiver has been bypassed.
RF A and RF B give a relative indication of RF signal strength
at the two antennas. When the signal is weak, the indicator
background changes to yellow, or red for very weak signals.
Diversity operation means that received audio quality is not
degraded unless both antennas receive a weak signal.
Aud gives a relative indication of received audio level. The
indicator background turns red when the audio at the transmit-
ter is in limiting. This may indicate that the transmitter volume
control is set too high, though it doesn’t mean that the received
audio will not be usable. The analog limiter in the transmitter
introduces only a small amount of distortion.
The Name Indicator shows the name of the receiver, which is
also displayed on the front panel of the receiver. The name
may be changed with menu options described below.
Popup Menu
If you right-click a receiver pane, this popup menu appears.
Set Up Receiver opens the Receiver Setup window on that
receiver. (Double-clicking on a receiver’s pane opens the
Receiver Setup window directly, without the popup menu.)
Reconnect Receiver may be used to reconnect with a re-
ceiver after serial communications have been lost (e.g. if a
cable is replaced after being accidentally removed). Name
Receiver lets you change the name displayed in the receiver’s
pane and also on the receiver’s display. Delete Receiver lets
you remove that receiver from the configuration, so it will no
longer be displayed and monitored.
