READ_MCLPOWER

Reads the power reading from an attached Mini-Circuits power meter. The power meter must be connected to the USB port on the rear of the radio. The power is sample for 1/2-second before the reading is provided so this command will consume a half-second of wall clock minimum. Providing the frequency in MHz is optional (see MCL power meter software guide for details on when or why this may be necessary).

Example:

C19|read_mclpower 14

See Response Format for details on the format of the response messages from the radio
