140: Turn Radio Power On/Off, Set Power and Offset Format
This command lets you turn on and off the power to the Kenwood mobile radios that are connected
to the RBI-1 (the power on/off feature doesn’t apply to the RLC-ICM). Note that the RBI-1
should be powered separately, not through the radio, for this feature to work correctly. Turning
power off to the radio can save power at solar sites.
This command also lets you set the transmit power to high/medium/low on some Kenwood mobile
radios (this feature doesn’t apply to the RLC-ICM). The power level for the RLC-ICM is set with
a jumper on the RLC-ICM and cannot be changed remotely without special wiring (connecting the
control line to a open collector output on the controller).
Finally, this command allows you change the way you enter the offset with command 142. The
offset is always specified as one digit, 0 to 3. There are two different common definitions of what
digit corresponds with what offset. If you want format 0 (the default), you can omit this digit.
<140> 0 Turn Radio Power Off
<140> 1 Turn Radio Power On
<140> 1 P Turn Radio On and Set Transmit Power
<140> 1 P F Turn Radio On, Set Power and Select
Offset Format
Parameters:
- 140 is the default command name.
- P is the transmit power level for the Kenwood mobile radio. 0 = low power, 1 = medium
power, 2 = high power.
- F is the offset format. Default is F=0.

Note:
There is no command to recall which format you are using. If you are unsure, execute
Command “142 147380 1" and unkey. If it says "plus" after the frequency, you are using
format 0. If it says "minus", you are using format 1.
