microHAM STATION MASTER Manual page 51

ALARM: Indicates an alarm condition. Alarms are those
problems that require operator action.
Pressing the FUNC button will display the reason for the
alarm on on the LCD display. If there are multiple alarms,
the left and right buttons will step through the list.
NO TX ANTENNA: A Receive Only antenna has been selected for transmit. The problem can be
●
resolved by selecting a valid transmit antenna.
NO BAND DATA: The alarm LED will flash if there is a loss of internally decoded band data, data from
●
Router or data from a microHAM keyer. The alarm LED will be on if band data is not available at start-
up. Transmitting is not restricted but changing antennas is not allowed. Band can be selected manually
trough the menu until the problem is fixed.
ROTATOR FAULT: Rotator's Sensor timeout; most likely cause is a defective sensor or broken
●
connection. Motor power is disabled but transmitting is not inhibited. SM turns down motor power.
Transmitting is not restricted. Rotator controller can be disabled in menu until problem is fixed.
OUT OF BANDS: Operating frequency is outside any defined band. Transmitting is not allowed but
●
antenna selections can be changed.
NO ANTENNA: A virtual rotator is set to an azimuth for which no antenna is defined. The virtual router
●
definition must be fixed in Router.
iLink DOWN: a microHAM keyer connected to the iLINK port is not responding.
●
BUSY: Indicates various busy conditions. Busy conditions are usually conditions which inhibit transmission for a
given period of the time and Station Master expects them to clear automatically. Busy conditions can not be
cleared manually and must expire.
On during sequencer operation. Sequenced switching is in progress and switch delay or lead
●
delay has not timed out. Light lit while sequencer switching is in progress and switch delay not
timeouts. Also on if connected keyer or serial device like SteppIR is responding busy.
Transmitting is inhibited while busy.
Flashing when band data does not appear after startup.
●
READY: Indicates ready to transmit.
On – Station Master is operating normally.
●
Off - transmitting is not allowed. If ALARM and BUSY are off, a receive only antenna has been
●
selected.
Flashing – a new antenna was selected during transmit. The new antenna will become active
●
when the transceiver returns to receive.
