122 Part F: Configuring Channels © Tait Electronics Limited December 2007Even short Rx cycling times improve the power consumption significantly andare not noticeable to users. If you select ‘No Cycling’, the receiver runscontinuously.Tx keyup The length of time that the transmitter needs for keying up. In Sleep and DeepSleep modes, this is the sum of the time selected for Normal Mode, pluswhatever remains of current Rx sleep cycle.Start after The length of time that the base station waits before switching into Sleep orDeep Sleep mode. The timer starts when audio ends.For example, if the setting is 10 minutes for Sleep mode and 1 hour for DeepSleep mode, the base station enters Sleep mode 10 minutes after audio endedand Deep Sleep mode 50 minutes after that.If the base station has to operate as a repeater or line-connected base station, itreturns to Normal mode and restarts the timer when transmissions end. If thebase station switches from battery to mains power, it also returns to Normalmode. Scheduled CWID transmissions and transmissions using the controlpanel microphone or Carrier button do not affect the mode or restart the timer.CWID SystemIn the Add or Edit Channel Profile dialog box, the CWID System tab lets youconfigure the way the base station broadcasts its identity using Morse code. Inthe USA, the FCC requires that base stations broadcast their identity.Tip: Transmit using CWID before your radio system iscommissioned; if there are any other users of the frequencies youhave been assigned, this gives them advance warning.The Morse area defines the base station’s identity broadcasts. The AutomaticCWID system area lets you enable and configure the regular sending of thosebroadcasts.
