corresponding receiver path to TX1 determines when there is receiver activity
even if the corresponding path is not enabled.

If Receiver 2 is a link receiver, for example, the link can be

“knocked down”

(disabled) after several minutes of link inactivity.

These receiver-driven macros should not be confused with the

Repeater

Activity-Triggered Macro

feature, which requires that Path 1 (Receiver 1 to

Transmitter 1) be enabled. See the

Enable/Disable Path 1 (RX1 to TX1)

command.
