- Why won't my Gator turn on when I hook it up to a gas portable
generator?
Certain model generators output an impure noise spike in the AC output.
This anomaly has been traced to ignition noise riding on top of the
sine waveform. So while this output is fine for most devices requiring
AC power, the Gator will not turn on because it requires pure regulated
AC power. Several model Honda generators have been tested and approved
for this application, and also this problem can be easily remedied
by simply using an inexpensive AC surge suppressor found in any convenience
or hardware store.
Does Gator transmit a complete CDMA signal?
No, not really. The Crocodile is Berkeley's
premium CDMA stimulus transmitter. It has been designed to fit
in between existing base stations
using any available
PN offset, without effecting normal operation of the other base stations. It
outputs Pilot I & Q signals used for measuring correlated signal strength
and includes all timing and clocking circuits to meet IS-97A requirements,
including clock holdover in excess of 24 hours in the absence of GPS signals.
How do I control the Gator once it is up on the crane?
All of the Gator's necessary functions may be controlled via any touch-tone telephone
line, a cellular phone or from any PC that has Gator Controller software installed.
Every Gator is equipped with an internal RS-232C and Bell 202 modems to control
all functions from any PC with supplied software.
