Additional Acknowledge Delay
|
Adjustable delay setting to allow additional time before a transmitting ADC assumes the receiving ADC did not acknowledge. Best used on channels with slow crypto devices or radios.
|
|
Acknowledge - ACK
|
Sent by a receiving ADC to the transmitter, after receipt of a probe or burst transmission.

Turnaround Delay
|
Allows an adjustable delay after an ADC receives a probe, burst, or ACK and before it sends it's probe, burst, or ACK. Best used on radios having a slow transmit/recieve turnaround time.
