Push-To-Talk DelayThis setting allows programming a brief time delay after a keying event,which must expire before the radio is allowed to transmit. The allowablerange is 0 to 255 ms, with the default being 0. To change the setting, proceedas follows:1. Select Push-To-Talk Delay (ms) from the menu. A flashing cursor appearsin the field to the right of the item.2. Enter the desired delay time (0 to 255 ms) and press the ENTER keyto apply the change.Clear-to-Send DelayThis setting allows programming a brief time delay between when anRTS (ready-to-send) signal is received and when the CTS(clear-to-send) signal is returned. The allowable range is 0 to 255 ms,with the default being 0. To change the setting, proceed as follows:1. Select Clear-To-Send Delay (ms) from the menu. A flashing cursorappears in the field to the right of the item.2. Enter the desired delay time (0 to 255 ms) and press the ENTER keyto apply the change.Automatic Frequency Correction (AFC) SettingAutomatic Frequency Correction (AFC), is used to counteract the slightRF frequency drift that may occur over time or through wide swings ofambient temperature. The default setting for AFC is ON. To change thesetting, proceed as follows:1. Select Automatic Frequency Control from the menu and press thespacebar to change the display to the desired setting (OFF or ON).2. Press the ENTER key to apply the change.Switched Carrier Setting (B Modems Only)In some networks, the master unit is not keyed continuously, and transmitsonly when it has data to send to remotes. This is known as SwitchedCarrier operation, and is only for use on radios with “B” modem suffixes.(“B” modems are intended for compatibility with earlierMDS x710 radios. See “Modem Type Setting” on Page 18 for a list ofavailable modem types.)Remote radios always operate in a Switched Carrier mode and should beset accordingly.To change the Switched Carrier setting, proceed as follows:22 SD Series Serial-Telnet Supplement MDS 05-6193A01, Rev.
