Default QEI INC. QUINDAR RADIO UNIT TELEMETRY QUESTION got from hamfest

several years ago i found an interesting looking radio at a hamfest,
it looks like a factory modified GE MPI, on the front, where you would
normally see the General electric name plate is a plate that says "QEI
quindar"
on the back it says
QEI INC.
A0-057081-104 REV A
154.46375
NO SCRAM 60 fadem rd springfield NJ 07081

it has a longer than normal battery compartment, and its battery pack
is a shell that takes a standard 9volt batt.

below the QEI quindar nameplate on the bottom, there is a row of thumb
wheel switches 4 individual on the left, and 1 on the right any of
them can be thumbed to any number, i suspect this is a system address
setting for an electric company.
on the top of the radio there are 2 multi position rotary switches on
top, kind of like a channel selector, but not. these have words at
every position
some of the positions are,
pos.
1 = prop on
2 = 1 on
3 = 1 off
4 = 2 on
5 = 2 off
6 = 1-4 on
7 = 1-4 off
8 = 1-2 on
9 = 1-2 off
10 = erase
11 = 3 on
12 = prop off
13 = 4 on
14 = 4 off
15 = 1-3 on
16 = 1-3 off


my question is, i am interested in fooling my florida power/progress
energy load management box into turning things on or off momentarly,
to see this thing work properly.

this is the same frequency that florida power/progress energy uses and
has the same data sound, i just dont think i have the right address
settings on the front.

other than answering that question does anyone know what the settings
on the top do?
