EA4TX RemoteBox Series Hardware Reference & Operational Manual page 15

Operation
Operating the RemoteBox is very straight forward. The device has a 2 line by 16
character LCD display. For models "2x" models each radio output (Radio A and B)
will present the following information:
•
Antenna Selection Mode: It shows the mode (AUTO or MAN) for manual or
automatic (i.e. using Band Data)
•
Active Focus: An asterisk (*) will indicate the Radio focus for Radio A or B.
Focus on a specific Radio implies that any manual change will affect that
particular radio.
•
Selected Antenna: This will show the selected antenna (1 through 12) used
for each radio (RA or RB). RA5 shows that Radio A is using Antenna 5 and
RB6 shows that radio B is using antenna 6.
Note: If the PTT is enabled and connected the cable to the Radio, when the
Radio changes to TX, the LCD will add a "!" character.
•
Antenna Label: This presents the label assigned to each antenna. In the
above image antenna 5 is labeled 160m and antenna 6 is labeled 6mYa (6m
yagi). The labels can be customized with the RBM software as explained in
the next section of this document.
The front panel also houses 5 buttons:
•
RED button: to enter into configuration mode
•
Button 1: To set focus on Radio A.
•
Button 2: To set focus on Radio B
•
Button 3: To select the previous antenna.
