Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
Hello:
This is a manual for a transmitter/re-emitter:

Si el Transmisor reserva está *a antena* y la salida ASI seleccionada en la matriz ASI no es la correspondiente a su SET activo, se apaga el transmisor reserva.

Encendido indica que el transmisor reserva está *a antena.*

Thank you in advance :)

in use

Could this be the same as 'en antena' which means 'to be on air' (TV / Radio) but which could mean 'in use' here.


When the ***backup transmitter is in use***, KPOF does not use IBOC but does broadcast in Kahn Powerside mode. This is the Kahn Powerside unit in use on the Harris backup transmitter. This is the second generation of Powerside that has been used at this facility.

Don't know why they've written "Transmitter" with a capital letter, maybe they thiought it was important.
