“ON” indicates the SSPA will transmit when all alarms are cleared. This is the normal

setting.

“OFF” indicates the SSPA will not turn on even if all alarms are clear.

This can be saved across a reboot using the SAVE command.

• SSPA status is either “TX ON AIR” or TX OFF AIR”.

• The third line gives a summary alarm indication. If there are no alarms, then “CLEAR”

will be indicated.

• The fourth line and fifth lines give the gain value, the TX output level, and the peak

output level seen in the last 10 seconds. TX Gain is given in dB.

• The sixth line shows the internal temperature in degrees Celcius, alarm status of the

cooling fan, and internal power supply voltages such as +12VDC, +5VDC, -5VDC.

• The remaining data gives the voltages for individual stages of the SSPA power amplifier.
