OTHER Manhattan RS1933 Network search

What are the implications of selecting 'network' or not on the search options when scanning for channels?

thanks,

There is a type of packet in the stream that can have an entry called a Network Information Table or NIT. This should contain information about other transponders and data rates associated with that 'network'.
During a Network Scan or Network Search( different receivers call it different things), it will read this table and then go and look for other transponders in the table for additional channels.

Not used here in NA very much though. Used to be used on 97W some, not sure if it is anymore or not.

I had wondered about that myself and never asked.The few times I tried the 'network' options,I never saw any difference.Thanks KE4EST
