Timer for that 54 Tactical Communications Bridge 4 User s Manual V2 20 Half Duplex Delay Time This button allows the user to change a port s Half Duplex Timer This timer controls the amount of time a port s receiver is not recognized immediately following a transmitter PTT When the port s transmitter goes from Active to Inactive this timer is started When the timer is running any receiver activity is not recognized When this timer expires the port s receiver is recognized again The purpose for this timer is to minimize system to system ping ponging that can occur when connecting two radio systems together Additionally if a radio s receiver presents a noise burst when it goes from transmit to receive this noise burst can cause unneeded transmit conditions on its connected ports If you experience a condition of radios cycling from transmit to receive and back to transmit you need adjust this timer on the port that is causing the un controlled keying condition In most cases this timer is set to less than 2 seconds To locate the receiver causing the ping pong condition select the Setup tab and select the group that is causing the cycling condition Look for the port that only is active in receive for a very short period usually less than 1 second Once the port causing the problem is located you will need to increase the Half Duplex timer for that port This is accomplished by the following steps
