Step 5a Define the communication relationship for each radio unit. The
section allows for activating various radios and sites within a network,
depending on the coverage plot and calculation required. Each active
“unit” must have a checkmark.
Note that it is often wanted to have a coverage plot of mobile coverage
and handheld coverage. If a mobile and handheld unit are defined,
coverage can be plotted by checking the mobile unit as “active” and
producing a mobile coverage plot. Then uncheck the mobile unit, check a
handheld unit as “active” and a coverage plot for a handheld can be
calculated and displayed.
Coverage may be shown as originating from a base station or repeater
transmitter site and a mobile or handheld radio as the receiver. A reverse
calculation can also be performed using the base station as the receiver
and the mobile or handheld radio as the transmitter site.
This is useful when balancing “talk out” with “talk in” capability. |
