Guided Tour - R32 Front Panel
1: Antennas (A and B) - The antenna mountings allow full rotation for optimum
placement. In normal operation, both Antenna A (the antenna on the left) and Antenna B
(the antenna on the right) should be placed in a vertical position. Both antennas can be
folded inward for convenience when transporting the R32. See the “Setting Up and Using
the Synth 32 System” section on page 11 in this manual for more information about
antenna positioning.
2: Display section - This backlit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows you information
about the current status of the R32 (see below for details).
2a: Receiver Antenna indicator - When signal is being received, one of these will be
displayed, showing you whether the “A” or “B” antenna is currently being used. A computer
chip inside the R32 constantly scans the two and automatically selects whichever is
receiving the strongest, clearest signal. This True Diversity switching is completely
inaudible, but it effectively increases overall range while virtually eliminating potential
interference and phase cancellation problems.
2b: Band indicator - Shows whether the Low (“L”), Medium (“M”) or High (“H”) band is
being used. This is factory preset and cannot be adjusted by the user.
2c: Group/Channel indicator - Shows the currently selected Group and Channel.
When two or more transmitters and receivers are being used in the same location, they
should be set up to use different Channels within the same Group.
