The ANT pop-out menu provides receive antenna selection, RF Gain control as shown in the images

above, and Wideband Noise Blanker control. Changing the configuration in this menu affects the

receiving setup for all Slices located on its Panadapter. Changing the receiving antenna on any slice

within the Panadapter changes the configuration for its Panadapter and all Slices located within.

The Slice Receiver flags allow drop down selection and annunciation of the receive antenna selected

for its Panadapter and all the Slice Receivers in it. The flag shown above is similar to the flag shown

for each of the radio models. The number and names of the antenna inputs and outputs vary by

radio model.

Loop selection is controlled only from the Panadapter ANT menu but is indicated under the receive

antenna selector on each slice flag. The LoopA annunciator can be seen under ANT1 in the slice A

flag shown above. When shown, the RX A loop is active and connected to ANT1. The Loop feature

is not available on all radio models.

The Wideband Noise Blanker (WNB) can be controlled from the ANT pop-out menu. Given the

wideband nature of this feature, the threshold slider in the GUI controls an entire SCU, which may

have several Panadapters and/or Slice Receivers attached to it. For convenience, the slider control is

available in each slice and each Panadapter. Adjusting any one of them adjusts for an entire SCU,

and all related slider controls are updated. Enabling and disabling the WNB function is available

separately for each Panadapter. All Slices present on a Panadapter inherit the same value for the

WNB enable and level. See section 13.3, Wideband Noise Blanker (WNB) for details on the use of

the Wideband Noise Blanker.
