Radio Configuration

Select Radio / Radio Configuration.

Parameters for all radios

Turn On/Off Radio – Switches the radio on/off.

900 MHz Radio parameters

Country Code Management - This menu is available if the receiver does not have the Base Station transmitting mode installed. It affects the receive-only capabilities. The options are:

Australia
United States
New Zealand

General Configuration Management – Set up the following fields:

Radio Mode – The internal radio can only receive signals.
Network ID – Enter the Network number for a 900 MHz radio. The Network ID can be from 1 through 40.

450 MHz Radio parameters

Country Code Management – Indicates the country configuration.

This menu is available if the receiver does not have Base Station transmitting mode installed. It affects the receive-only capabilities. The options are:

Rest of World (non Europe or USA/Canada countries)
Canada/USpre2013 (support prior to the 2013 FCC Mandate)
Europe
US-2013 (to comply with 2013 FCC Mandate – for more information view: https://transition.fcc.gov/pshs/docs/clearinghouse/guidelines/Narrowbanding_Booklet.pdf)

Changing the Country Code setting will alter the Wireless Model options available.

Channel Bandwidth Management – Set the Channel Spacing (kHz). The options are 25 or 12.5 kHz. However, the firmware makes logical choices depending on the country code. Contact your Trimble dealer if this needs changing. The base and rover receivers must have the same country code selected.

General Configuration Management – Set up the following fields:

Radio Mode – Shows that the internal radio is a receive-only radio.
Current Channel (MHz) – Select the current channel for the internal radio to operate on.
Wireless Mode – Select the current wireless mode for the internal radio.

RTCM 135 UHF protocol. From version 6.28/5.68 for the MPS566 receiver, support for the RTCM135 UHF protocol for 450 MHz radios has been implemented for receive-only mode. Improving base/rover interoperability on construction sites with a mixed fleet and any capable RTK base station is the motivation behind supporting this new radio protocol.

Receive-only Channel Management – Add or delete radio frequencies.

The ability to add or delete 450 MHz UHF radio frequencies only applies to Receive frequencies. If new frequencies are required, contact your Trimble dealer.

Frequency Range (MHz) – Identifies the frequency range that the internal radio operates in.
Add Channel – Enter a valid frequency, which meets the rules bounded by the available frequencies for the radio and the value in the Tuning Step field. When a frequency is added, the value in the Current Number Used field increments.
Delete Channel – Select a receive frequency from the list to remove it.
