^CR (ATU Select Capacitors, GET and SET)

GET format: ^CR;

SET/RESPONSE format: ^Chh; where hh are two hexadecimal digits indicating the selected capacitors.

See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

for a description of this notation.

Examples:

^CR00; selects no capacitors.
^CRFF; selects all capacitors.
^CR80; selects only the largest capacitor.
^CRC1; selects the largest, second largest, and smallest capacitors.

The KXPA Utility Operate page displays capacitor relay settings as check boxes and as a total
capacitance.

It may take a few tens of milliseconds after issuing ^CR before the relays are changed.

Capacitor settings are changed by ATU tuning operations. ^CR set is ignored while tuning.

Capacitor relays are released while the ATU bypass relay is in its bypassed setting.

^CR is meaningful only if the optional KXAT100 Antenna Tuner is installed.
