5.4.2.6 CONFIG: Tx
Æ On/Off
Tx Output State: On Off
RxTxInhibit Common (◄ ►,ENT)
For the Transmit On./Off Control (Output State), select On, Off, RxTxInhibit, or Common
using the W X arrow keys, then press
ENTER
.
When Rx-Tx Inhibit (RTI) is selected, it prevents the TX carrier from being transmitted until the
demodulator is locked.
To avoid the Tx Carrier from being turned off when the demodulator loses lock for a very short
period of time, the demodulator must be unlocked continuously for a period of 10 seconds before
the transmit carrier is inhibited. This time interval is fixed and is not user-changeable.
Having this feature enabled does not affect the internal IF Loopback feature.
But, please be aware that if an external IF Loopback is attempted (connecting
an external cable from the Tx IF output to the Rx IF input), then this will not
work! (The Tx carrier cannot turn on until the demod is locked, and the demod
cannot lock, because the TX output is off. The net result is that the demod will
not lock, and the Tx carrier will not turn on. USE THE RTI FEATURE WITH
EXTREME CARE!
