(3) Xmit Rate
Sets the operation mode for the transmitter.
•0 for normal operation.
•1 for continuous transmit.
Continuous transmit mode is useful to qualitatively gauge signal strength viewed in the menu Show Radio Statistics
option or it may be gauged by the Clear to Send LED. A solid red CTS LED indicates a strong signal; a blinking CTS LED
indicates a weaker signal.
Due to the fact that the radio transmits continuously when Xmit Rate is set to 0, this mode should be used only as a
diagnostic tool and not for normal operation.
