Which register bits enable/disable the MAX2870 RF outputs (i.e. RFOUTA/RFOUTB)?

The RF outputs (i.e. RFOUTA/RFOUTB) are enabled/disabled using bits 5 and 8 in register 4. There are two typos on page 13 of  the datasheet (document number 19-6250; Rev 6; 4/17) that state, "Register 4, set bit 4 and 8 to 0 to keep RFOUT disabled". The actual step should read, "Register 4, set bit 5 and 8 to 0 to keep RFOUT disabled."
