F:Input power display,maximum input power is 8W
G:PA display ("BYPS" represents the current state in the through state,
without PA access, "INUSE" represents the current state in the
amplification, PA access)
H: When the status of the work shows RX, said the host into the
receiving mode, when the state of work shows TX, said the host into the
transmit mode
I:LPF band display,"XXm AUTO" representation band automatic
recognition mode(when the band output voltage of
host is consistent with form "Band voltage parameter" described in
paragraphs voltage,you can use this mode of operation)
"XXm MANUAL" means that the LPF working state is in manual
operation.
"XXm" means that the current band.( when the band output voltage of
host is NOT consistent with form “Band boltage parameter” described in
paragraphs voltage, you can use this mode of operation, you can
manually set the working band of the machine)
lThe form “Band voltage parameter”, please refer to page 8.
J: ATU working status display, "BYPS means no access to ATU", "INUSE"
means that the access to ATU(when the SWR is too large, it will
automatically be tuned.)
K: Output power display, maximum output power 150W
