byte 27: azimuth movement/alarm status - binary data

0 1 1 1 an auto move is in progress
1 0 0 0 runaway alarm active
1 0 0 1 jammed alarm active
1 1 0 0 drive alarm active. This is triggered by an overcurrent
condition.
Note - Higher value status codes have priority over lower value ones, i.e. if as part of an auto
move command the antenna is moving CW the status will be reported as 'auto move in
progress' rather than 'CW movement in progress'.
