For Dual Exciter TX configurations, test the Exciter switchover behavior
by pressing the A/B icon on the Controller touchscreen and initiating an
Exciter Changeover by selecting EXCITER B, and confirming the
changeover when asked. The power will drop and the exciter changeover
will initiate. Once again, allow 45 to 60 seconds for the transmitter to reach
operating power. Make the same performance checks as just outlined for
Exciter A.

Your TX should now be up and running properly into your load or on-air
antenna. Continue to monitor system parameters as you allow the
transmitter to operate and stabilize at full output power for another 30
minutes.

To turn the TX On/Off, please use the TX On/Off button located on the
HOME screen of the Control module or via the TX built in web interface.

To Raise or Lower the TX output power level, please adjust the AGC target
power setting under the Controller Config
