Channel Selection

Channel Selection

It is highly recommended that after channel selection has been achieved, you lock the channel so that it cannot be changed by the user. To accomplish lock on receivers, press and hold seek for 5 seconds. Repeat the process to unlock. It is important to choose channels that are free from inter- ference to achieve proper operation of your Listen equipment. This process is trial and error. Before turning on the transmitter, listen to the wide band channels (lettered channels at 72MHz and channels that start with a “2” for 216MHz). Listen to the audio through the headphone or via the speaker. Choose a channel with the least amount of interface. Unless you are interfacing with an existing narrowband transmission system, always use a wide band channel. If you are using mul- tiple channels follow this process:

a.Same Space If you are using transmitters in the same space, the most number of channels that will work simultaneously is six at 72MHz and three at 216MHz. With all of the transmitters off, listen for interference on all the wide band channels via the headphone jack. Using the frequency compatibility tables on pages 60-63, eliminate any channels that have noticeable interference. Now choose the channels with the widest channel spacing. It is recommended that adjacent channels be spaced at least 300KHz. If there is no interference the following channels are recommended: A, C, E, I, J, and H for 72MHz and channels 2A, 2K and 2V at 216MHz.

b.Distributed Spacing If you are using transmitters that are spread out over space, you can achieve more simultaneous broadcast channels. However, it is critical that your receiver(s) be located as close to its transmitter as possible. You can use adjacent channels (see frequency compatibility tables on pages 60-63) in this case as long as the adjacent channel transmitter is at least 50% further away from the receiver as its transmitter. Example: The transmitter for the receiver on channel E is 100 feet from the receiver. The adjacent channel transmitter on channel D should be at least 150 feet away.
