<VIEW SELECT>
MAX PRO 50XX+ is capable of displaying a number of various parameters. Since the LCD real-estate is limited to 2x16
characters we prepared a number of pre-programmed views that only show a selected number of parameters. At the time of
writing these views were available:
- [Freq+Mode+Pwr] – This view shows frequency, mono/stereo mode and output power
- [Fr+Ie+Te+Ue] – This view shows frequency, Exciter output stage current, exciter temperature and exciter supply voltage
- [Po+Pr+Uamp+Ta] – This view shows output power, reflected power, amplifier supply voltage and amplifier temperature
- [Po+Pr+Uamp+Ia] – This view shows output power, reflected power, amplifier supply voltage and amplifier current
- [Audio Level] – This view shows audio level bar graph. For this to work you the W solder bridge on the LCD module
needs to be closed-soldered.
- [Uptime D:H:M] – This view shows how long the transmitter has been operating without mains power going out. It is
sometimes useful in diagnosing mains power failures.
- [Auto Scroll]D – This is the default view, it shows each of the above listed views for a short while and than moves on to
the next in an endless loop. This way you can see all the relevant parameters without having to go through the menu system
to change the view type, You just have to wait a few seconds for the view to change.
<TREBLE> and <BASS>
This option allows you to set the amount of TREBLE and BASS in your audio. Recommended values are marked with (D).

Compressor Settings
A number of MENU settings control the operation of the compressor. Lets assume that the audio signal enters the
transmitter at some low level. Compressor does nothing to the signal until at one point as the input signal increases the signal
reaches the compression threshold. Digital signal processor starts compressing the signal beyond that point. The higher the
compression ratio the higher the compression. For example, compression ratio of 1:
∞
would in effect be a limiter.
