Transmit Inhibit

Shorting /Inhibit (pin 11) to Ground (pin 10) of J2 mutes all units connected to the RMC, this
configuration may be used to implement a transmit inhibit switch on the system:

When transmit inhibit is activated the display for all connected amplifiers/BUCs will instantly
change showing that the connected amplifiers/BUCs have been muted.

To reactivate the units, the short must be removed.
