Display information description

A : input SWR display
B : supply voltage display
C : PA operating current
D ：PA temperature display
E ：output SWR display
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)
l The 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
