The RCU key is used to select operating mode options of RT, RCU, EXT, or

RCU/(2)

LDE. RT is the normal employment of the RT as a receiver-transmitter.

Selecting RCU allows the SlP/ASlP RT to be used as a remote control

device. EXT, is a capability of the SlP/ASlP radio that allows the radio to be

controlled externally via the system connector. The ASIP radio is

automatically in EXT when proper Interface and software IS detected.

Selecting EXT disables the front panel controls of the RT. EXT is used for

GRM - 122 testing. LDE stands for local data entry and represents a future

capability of the SlP/ASlP RT to communicate with SlP/ASlP VAA regarding

data loads and requirements. This feature is currently not used.

GPS/(5)
