$**HBT,x.x,A,x*hh<CR><LF>
1 2 3
1. Configured repeat interval (1 to 999(s))
2. Equipment status (A=Normal V=System fail)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
1. Beacon frequency, kHz (283.45 to 325.04)
2. Auto/Manual frequency (See note 2) (A=Auto, M=Manual)
3. Beacon bit rate, bits/s (25, 50, 100, 150, 200)
4. Auto/Manual beacon bit rate (See note 2) (A=Auto, M=Manual)
5. Interval for sending $**MSS (status) in seconds (See note 1) (1 to 99, null))
6. Channel number (See note 3) (Fixed at 1)
7. Sentence status flag (See note 4) (R, C) (R=Sentence status is a report of current settings (use for
