User's Manual

Antennas are added using antenna port numbers and should be entered in the
order in which they should be scanned. Available antenna port numbers are
from 1 through 8. After each antenna port number is entered, a slash [/]
automatically appears, to separate the antennas being entered (e.g.
1/4/5/2/8/6). Press the ENTER key to apply the changes (do not press the
END/ESC key).

The master antenna designation is used to place a priority on a particular radio
antenna and/or a hydrophone so that it is scanned before all other radio
antennas and/or hydrophones. Assigning a master is not required for the
receiver to operate. Each group can have only one master designation; one for
radio antennas and one for hydrophones (if both types are used).
Master antennas are designated in one of two ways:
• One master per group: Only one master is associated with each group. For
example, a radio antenna on Antenna Port 2 can be assigned as the Radio
Antenna Master and a hydrophone on Antenna Port 8 can be assigned as the
hydrophone master.
• All antennas are master antennas: when an antenna group is defined as the
master antenna, then all the antennas in that group are activated
simultaneously (that is, their inputs are summed by the ASP-8). For example,
if the Radio Group that uses antenna ports 1, 2, 4, and 6 is designated as the
master, then all antennas in that group are scanned simultaneously. Likewise,
if the hydrophone group is designated as the master hydrophone, then the
hydrophone ports on 3, 7, and 8 are scanned simultaneously (combined in the
ASP-8).

Three selections are possible:
• Enter the value as 0 (zero) to make all radio antennas master antennas
