The Receiver Status log (RXSTATUS) provides system status and configuration information in a series of

conditions may result in damage to the hardware or erroneous data, so the receiver is put into an error state. If
any bit in the error word is set, the receiver broadcasts the
RXSTATUSEVENT
log on all ports (unless the user
has unlogged it), idles all channels, turns the antenna off and disables the RF hardware. To override the error
state, reset the receiver.
