MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

COMMAND PREFACE

This chapter serves as a complete reference to all the MFJ-1278B operational commands. These commands control the many variable values, that affect the MFJ-1278B's operation, as well as causing it to perform specific functions, such as connecting to another station to start a QSO. You can enter a command to the MFJ-1278B whenever you see the command-mode prompt:

cmd:

You will change parameters and issue instructions to the MFJ-1278B by typing commands composed of English-like words or word abbreviations. The English-like words or word abbreviations, refered to as keywords, sometimes contain variables that are numbers or strings of characters chosen by the user. You will probably never change some of these parameters; however, one of MFJ's goals is to allow each user maximum flexibility to adapt the MFJ-1278B to his environment.

ENTERING COMMANDS

You may use either upper case (capital letters) or lower case (small letters) when you enter commands. In order to have the MFJ-1278B accept a command, you must finish command entry with a <CR>, or carriage return character. This will not be mentioned explicitly in the examples below. Before you type the final <CR> of your command, you can correct typing mistakes or cancel the line completely. If any command is misspelled to the point where the MFJ-1278B does not understand it, then an error message will occur. See Chapter 4 for a discussion of input line editing.

This chapter will use UPPER CASE for commands and lower case for explanatory text. In examples showing input typed by the user together with the responses of the MFJ-1278B, the user's input will be shown in bold face.

Whenever the MFJ-1278B accepts a command that changes a value, it will display the previous value. For example, if you type

XFLOW OFF

the MFJ-1278B will respond with:

XFLOW was ON
