Note that such receiver models as HiPer, Regency with JPS_4 board and Odyssey
with JPS_4 board are capable of automatically detecting an external antenna only
at receiver start-up time. Therefore if one wants to switch from the internal an-
tenna to an external one while in auto, he/she will have to power the receiver
off and then back on.
The Regency and Odyssey receivers using JPS_4_2 are capable of automatically
detecting an external antenna without switching the receiver off and back on.
Antenna Status
• The indicator Current Input shows what antenna type is actually being used by the
receiver:
int – the internal antenna is being used.
ext – an external antenna is being used.
This flag relates to the receiver parameter /par/ant/curinp.
• The indicator Ext. DC Status shows if the external antenna draws any dc:
off – the external antenna draws no dc
normal – the external antenna draws normal dc
overload – the external antenna draws higher dc then expected
This indicator is associated with the receiver parameter /par/ant/dc.
The indicator Board temperature shows the receiver board’s current temperature. This indi-
cator is associated with the receiver parameter /par/dev/thermo/out.
