IMPORTANT
SYMBOL=10000.000ksym
CARRIER = ON (ON,OFF,RTI)
RTI means RECEIVE/TRANSMIT INHIBIT. When selected, it will prevent
the TX carrier from being transmitted, until the demodulator is locked. To
avoid the Tx Carrier from being turned off when the demodulator loses lock
for a very short period of time, the demodulator must be unlocked
continuously for a period of 10 seconds before the transmit carrier is inhibited.
This time interval is fixed and the user cannot change it.
Having this feature enabled does not affect the internal IF loopback feature.
But, be aware that if an external IF loopback is attempted (connecting an
external cable from the Tx IF output to the Rx IF input), then this will not
work! (The Tx carrier cannot turn on until the demod is locked, and the
demod cannot lock, because the TX output is off. The net result is that the
demod will not lock, and the Tx carrier will not turn on. USE THE RTI
FEATURE WITH EXTREME CARE!
