TGXL - Standby vs Bypass

Options

in Tuner Genius XL

What exactly is the difference between Standby and Bypass? The user guide is ambiguous. For example: the Tuner-Genius-XL User Guide (UG) has a whole section 4.5 (Bypass) & 4.6 (Standby) which contain ZERO text. No explanation provided.

Yet on page 48, section 7.1.2 the TGXL UG states "In Standby mode, the tuner disconnects from all antennas. As a result, tuning solutions that may be applied while receiving are not applied."

I suspect what the author meant to say was "In Standby mode the tuner is completely out of the signal path for both incoming and outgoing signals." In Bypass mode any tuning solution is not applied to incoming signals but is applied to outgoing signals.

Is this correct? If someone could clarify what exactly is the difference between Standby and Bypass it would be most helpful.

    As best as I can tell, in Standby you have two main effects beyond what Bypass:

    • It doesn't poll the radio for frequency
    • The screen dims

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
