9.1 Summary screen

The summary screen appears as follows:

As the name suggests, it shows all the main transmitter parameters to allow a
quick overview of the current operating state of the transmitter.

Fwd Pwr shows the current forward RF power in watts.

Ref Pwr shows the current reflected RF power in watts.

Mod shows the current modulation depth in percent.

Freq shows the transmitter’s operating frequency in kilohertz.

TX status shows the overall alarm status.  If none of the alarms is active then OK
is shown.  If any single alarm is active, then SWR, GEN, TEMP, INT’LK or
AUDIO is shown (depending on which alarm is active).  If more than one alarm is
active then FAIL is shown.  See section 11  for more details about individual
alarms.

The summary screen is shown when the transmitter is first switched on.

No parameters can be changed whilst displaying the summary screen.
