This
command
is
useful
for
obtaining
statistics
on
the
perfor-
mance
of a given
path
or channel.
If
followed
by
an

will

Some
startup
time
is
required
by
all
transmitters
to
put
a
signal
on
the
air;
some
need
more,
some
need
less.
In
general,
crystal
controlled
rigs
with
diode
antenna
switching
don’t
need
much
time,
synthesized
rigs
need
time
for
PLL
lockup,
and
rigs
with
mechanical
T/R
relays
will
need
time
for
physical
relay
movement.
The
correct
value
for
a
particular
rig
should
be
determined
by
experimentation.
The
proper
setting
of
this
value
may
also
be
affected
by
