Supply Voltage (TX) / Supply Voltage (idle):
This is the voltage value during transmission.

approx. 2A power for 0.2 seconds. If the used
cable are too thin or even too long, the voltage
can drop down under the shown "Idle" value
which might cause to limited transmission
power. To solve the problem, please check the
cable connections or use thicker ones.
TX Forward Power / TX Reverse Power:
Both status will be "OK" if a VHF antenna is
connected in the right way. If the antenna has
got a short circuit or the antenna cable is
interrupted, "Error" is shown here. The ration
between "forward" and "reverse" has to be 3:1
