The Magellan/Ashtech Receiver Utilities screen has the following options:




Thales/Ashtech Radio Setup PDL
If the radio is an American PDL radio, it will appear as shown below.



The user can change the channel, the digisquelch (sensitivity), and the over air radio link baud rate. If it is a European radio, channels are not available. Instead, the user will be able to set the frequency, the digisquelch, and the over air radio link baud rate. The digisquelch is best high on rovers and low on bases. To set changes, click on the Set Radio button and the following screen appears:



Magellan/Ashtech Radio Setup Thales UHF

Select the appropriate button (see above).  The following screen will appear.



Change the frequency to the desired frequency and click Set Radio.


Magellan/Ashtech Radio Setup Cable

No configuration options are available when the software is configured to cable.


Magellan/Ashtech Radio Setup Older Receivers

Currently, the only radio option available for non-ZMAX Thales/Ashtech receivers is a PDL radio. The Base/Rover radio setup options will assume the radio is a PDL radio on these receivers, and try to configure them accordingly. All the same settings (channel, digisquelch, over air link rate) should still be available, however.




In this dialog, the user can change the Bluetooth receiver name (Receiver ID in Bluetooth Manager), the Bluetooth passkey (PIN in Bluetooth Manager), or the country code (currently the only choices are France and other countries because France has unique Bluetooth specifications). To change the name, change it in the appropriate text field and click Set New Bluetooth Name. A message confirming success will appear.



To change the passkey, change it in the appropriate text field and click Set New Bluetooth Passkey. A similar message confirming success will appear. To change the country code, click the appropriate radio button for the country and click Set Bluetooth Country Code. A similar message confirming success will appear.
