Channel Ready Delay - Motorola CB300-D User Manual

CHANNEL READY DELAY

The Motorola digital radio system will not broadcast while the radio channel is in use by others,
or if a mating digital receiver is not found (with an identical Channel No and Profile ID). The DLR
modem module will provide a "ready to transmit" signal if a mating digital radio is found, and if
the channel is not busy. To conserve battery power, the RF Module is powered down until needed
for a radio broadcast. After RF Module power-up, the system will verify the radio channel is clear
and a mating digital radio is available before message broadcast will occur. If a mating receiver
is not detected or a busy channel is detected, the system will attempt re-connection based Chan
Ready Delay value (configured using the LCD menu, "Chan Ready Delay? shown below).
Chan Ready Dly?
Old = 20 Sec
New = 20 Sec
In the example above, the Channel Ready Delay is set = 20 Seconds. If the Channel Ready signal
is not received, the system will re-try for a "Ready" channel every 4-seconds until a "Ready"
channel is detected, or until the 20-second Channel Ready Delay timer expires.
