Menus of antenna choices for individual frequency bands can be set up on the Bands sub-tab. The frequency
ranges for bands can be set arbitrarily to fit the specific installation and need not match the allocated radio
amateur frequency bands.
Top buttons
These buttons are intended for rapid,
automatic generation of a band plan
during initial setup, after antenna
selections (Antenna Paths, Virtual
Rotators and Antenna Groups) have
been already set up.
Default Bands
•
Generates a set of bands
according to ITU amateur
radio frequency allocation. A
dialog offering choice of one
of the three ITU regions is
displayed. The initial
frequency ranges are set for
the selected region and the
previous band plan discarded.
Fill Bands
•
All antenna choices
accessible for a range are
inserted into the defined
frequency ranges.
Show selections
•
When ticked a list of antenna selections for each band is displayed. When unchecked the bands "fold up"
so only the list of frequency ranges is displayed
Adding bands
In an empty band plan, simply press the Add button on bottom of the tab. If some bands are already defined,
highlight any of the lines containing the frequency range, then press the Add button. A dialog will open where
the minimum (inclusive) and maximum (exclusive) frequency for the new band can be entered; the frequencies
default to the frequency gap just above the highlighted line. The frequency range of any band can be adjusted
any time: highlight the respective line, then single-click on the frequency range in Band/Selection column. Bands
may not overlap.
Bands are sorted by frequency automatically. Note, that while it is possible to remove a highlighted band using
the Remove button, it is not possible to reorder them using the Up and Down buttons.
Naming bands
Highlight the line with frequency range, then single-click on the name in Name column. The name is used on
SMD, e.g. when SMD is not governed by frequency determined from decoding CAT information, allowing to
select a band "manually" through the MENU.
