Include capabilities for expansion using a sub-comparator channel as a means to create additional SNR vote groups with more than eight members. The SNR Voter/Comparator must be software-configurable to enable end users to modify SNR Voting Options. The Voter/Comparator must have IP-based connectivity, enabling users to access the logs and adjust voting parameters remotely. The Voter/Comparator must provide a complete interoperability solution for existing air traffic control networks. The Voter/ Comparator system software must include the following features/capabilities: • Adjust the minimum time allowed between votes • Adjust the number of dBs required to out-vote another channel • Transmission type: simulcast or transmitter steering • Force simulcast transmission on a function tone from the console • Manually remove a receiver from voting (via software) • Remove a receiver from voting based on COR signal • Force simulcast transmission due to receiver inactivity • Start voting when status tone drops or when audio trigger activates • Assert Press to Talk (PTT) on the voted channel
