I kept the unit powered for a an almost 20 hours and when switched on and off failure was still on but today as turned the unit on with same settings PUF it works as its should!

Now the green beast will be eating power for a while and we test it soon again!

Thanks!

So the test sequence is not full auto test like in tadirans? Apparently it just reacts tx rx indicator
and other faults as they appear?
