Ignoring frequencies
Park frequencies outside the calculation entirely: ignored frequencies are excluded from future calculations and stop acting as RF blockers for other devices.
Ignored vs incompatible
Section titled “Ignored vs incompatible”Both are “not currently valid” states, but they behave differently in calculations:
| Incompatible (red) | Ignored | |
|---|---|---|
| Included in future calculations? | Yes — queued for recalculation | No |
| Blocks other frequencies as an RF neighbor? | Yes | No |
| Typical use | “This needs a new value” | “Pretend this doesn’t exist for now” |
Ignoring is the right tool for devices that failed to solve and can wait (a spare rack, a canceled act), so they stop constraining everyone else’s spectrum.
Ignore frequencies
Section titled “Ignore frequencies”- A whole zone: zone selector menu → Mark Frequencies as Ignored. The confirmation spells out the effect: all frequencies in the zone are excluded from future calculations and no longer act as RF blockers.
- A group: group ⋮ menu → All Frequencies… → Mark All Frequencies As Ignored.
- After a failed recalculation: the failure dialog offers Mark as Ignored for just the unsolvable frequencies (Recalculating frequencies).
- Automatically: the Auto-ignore failed frequencies calculation setting marks failures ignored instead of showing the failure dialog each time.
Bring them back
Section titled “Bring them back”Ignored frequencies return to incompatible status, ready to recalculate or manually accept:
- A whole zone: zone selector menu → Stop Ignoring Frequencies.
- A group: All Frequencies… → Stop Ignoring All Frequencies.
- One frequency: Stop Ignoring on the frequency’s row.
The Ignored (N) counter in the zone toolbar tracks how many the zone currently has, with Recalculate all ignored as a shortcut.
