1. In all cases, set the Region Code to the region you are in, a nd the software wil l determine the cor rect
use of DFS.
2. Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) operates on frequencies 5600 through 5650 MHz. In some
countries a “weather notch” is required to avoid impinging on these frequencies.
3. Radios placed on market in Europe after July 1, 2008, can’t impinge on weather radar frequencies. To
meet this requirement, the software checks the date code of the module and implements the weather
notch accordingly. You can tell if a 5.4-GHz module is “newer” or “older” by setting the Region Code to
Europe – if the notch frequenc ies are not shown on the Conf iguration => Radio page, then the modul e
is “newer”, if the notc h frequencies are shown, the module is “older”.
