RTI Configuration
RTI means RECEIVE/TRANSMIT INHIBIT. When selected, it will prevent 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 the selected time period
(1 to 5 seconds) before the transmit carrier is inhibited.
Having this feature enabled does not affect the internal IF loopback feature. Be
aware, however, that if an external IF loopback is attempted (connecting an
external cable from the Tx IF output to the Rx IF input), and 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!)
• Transmit Inhibit – Use the drop‐down menu to Disable or Enable RTI operation.
• Wait Time – Enter a time, in seconds, to delay execution of the RTI function (when Enabled).
The range is from 1 to 5 seconds.
• State (read‐only) – The operational status of the RTI function is displayed here.
