configuration mode, this line shows the messages related to the parameters and
values being configured or tested. When not in test and configuration mode, this
line emulates the radio display for the specific radio it is connected to.
b) Bottom left: Radio Display or Deskset Configuration & Test line 2- when in test and
configuration mode, this line shows the messages related to the parameters and
values being configured or tested. When not in test and configuration mode, this
line emulates the radio display for the specific radio to which it is connected.
c) Top right: Radio Icon line shows, which of the digital radio functions, are presently
being used (from left to right):
E=Emergency, Monitor, Secure, Scan (flashing = Priority 1), Talkaround and
L=Low Power or H=High Power.
d) Bottom right: VU Meter shows the transmit level reading when transmitting on the
radio channel or on the intercom. The VU meter has the lowest priority and can be
overridden by other events such as NPRI, etc. When the digital radio functions
C=Companding and O=Option Board are required, they will show in the first and
second positions of this line. Therefore, the VU meter is not visible if C or O or
both are present.
