Query Antenna Parameters
$PASHQ,ANT
This command asks for the current antenna parameters. The port for the message
output may be specified; if the port is not specified, the message is output to the port
from which the command was received. The command structure is
$PASHQ,ANT,x*crc where x is the port, A or B.
$PASHR,ANT
The response message displays the antenna parameters of the sensor. The message is
in the form
$PASHR,ANT,f1,f2,f3,d4d5,f5*crc
where the fields are as defined in Table 4.6
