[amsat-bb] Who or what controls AO-16's RC PSK TX Out?

[Dquagliana@xxxxxxx]

   In looking through some of the recent telemetry 
from AO-16 I've noticed that the raised cosine PSK 
transmitter output seems to vary between about 
0.2 watts and about 0.6 watts.

   Is the power output managed by ground control or
is it under software control based on spacecraft
health? (or both)?  How exactly does this work?

Just curious,
