NOTE: When using Remote LED’s the center (TX) LED will not turn Green when in Setup mode. This line
is not pinned out.
NOTE: This feature may be used to save power in Repeaters. By turning off the on board LED’s (setting
= 2) the current consumption is reduced. To reduce current consumption in Slaves, use the setting “Low
Power = 1”. Low Power does not work with Repeaters because they are constantly transmitting. Remote
LED drives the Diagnostic port which has a small amount of current draw.

Show Radio Statistics
Radio Statistics in the Main Menu allows the user to view data transmission statistics gathered by the
transceiver during the most recent session. This is valuable when the user needs to know the signal
strength and noise levels of the link. Statistics are gathered during each data link and are reset when the
next link begins. See display below.

Any time the link between the Master and the Slave is broken and the radios lose Carrier Detect, it is
recorded in the Number of Disconnects value. The value indicates the total number of disconnects that
have occurred from the time the transceiver is powered on until the radio is put into Setup mode. Under
ideal operating conditions, the number of disconnects should be 0. One or more disconnects may indicate
a weak link, the presence of severe interference problems or loss of power to any of the radios in the link.

This is a measurement of the transmitted power that is reflected back into the transceiver from
mismatched antennas or cables, or loose connections between the transceiver and antenna. A reading
of 0-5 is good; 5-20 is marginal; 20+ indicates that the connections should be inspected for loose
connections and cable quality.
