PTT Window top line information

[sthompson]

I'm wondering what the various items that appear in the top line of the PTT window mean? I seem to always see SP and DP in the upper left. Also a flashing BCN. And AUTO shows up on that top line too, along with a number. None of this seems to be documented in the manual.

 

The bottom line information is much easier to understand and better documented.

Thanks Hollywood. Couldn't find this in the manual. A follow up question. Is the AUTO flag (which sometimes shows MAN instead) just a redundant version of the Easy Comms On/Off message that appears when you enter a mission, or is it showing something else related?
