BATTERYS VOLTAGE, CURRENT, AND CHARGE STATUS SEE FIGURE 3.  IN THIS
EXAMPLE, MY POWER SUPPLY IS PROVIDING 13R8 V AND 5R34 A.  THE BATTERY IS AT
14R5 V AND IS BEING CHARGED AT 0R8 A, LEAVING 4R54 A TO POWER MY RADIO
DURING TRANSMIT.  IF I TURNED OFF THE POWER SUPPLY, THEN THE POWERPLUS
WOULD SWITCH TO THE BATTERY FOR POWERING MY RADIO.  THE BATTERY CURRENT
WOULD INCREASE TO THE ROUGHLY 4R5 A DRAWN BY MY TRANSMITTING RADIO AND THE
BATTERY VOLTAGE WOULD SAG A BIT UNDER LOAD.  THERE IS A FIVE BUTTON
NAVIGATION/ SELECTION SYSTEM FOUR DIRECTION BUTTONS AND A SELECTION BUTTON.
TO GO TO THE NEXT SCREEN, PUSH THE DOWN BUTTON, AND THE OUTPUT STATUS
SCREEN COMES UP THE STATUS OF THE A BANK OUTPUTS SHOWS THAT MY RADIO,
PLUGGED INTO THE A1 OUTPUT, IS DRAWING 0R93 A.  A GRAPH AT THE BOTTOM OF
THE DISPLAY SHOWS THE PERCENTAGE USED OF THE MAXIMUM CURRENT ALLOWED USER
SETTABLE, IN THIS CASE, USING JUST 1 A OUT OF THE 30 A MAXIMUM.
TRANSMITTING  WITH THE IC 7300 SET FOR MAXIMUM RF OUTPUT INTO A DUMMY LOAD
YIELDS A NUMERICAL AND GRAPHICAL DISPLAY OF THE 17 A DRAWN BY THE
TRANSMITTER, OUT OF THE MAXIMUM 30 A ALLOWED.  THERE IS A MAXIMUM TOTAL
CURRENT OF 40 A ALLOWABLE BETWEEN THE TWO OUTPUT GROUPS.  THUS, FOR MY
CURRENT OPERATING PARAMETERS, I HAVE SET GROUP A TO OFFER UP TO 30 A,
LIMITING THE GROUP B OUTPUT TO 10 A.  IF THE GROUP A LIMIT IS SET TO 35 A,
