• The default Frequency Bank is always 0. Don’t change this unless there are
going to be more than 16 Base Stations operating in the same area. If you are
using a RF Terminal that is the US version, you can select a different bank,

Base Stations must be off. We suggest setting Relay Existence to 0 (NO)
before doing a Site Test.

"signs on", use setting 3 (Search YES). Otherwise, the Terminal will always
