MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

COMMAND n Mode: All Default: $03

Parameters:

n0 - $7F, specifying an ASCII character code.

This command is used to change the Command Mode entry character. You can enter the code in either hex or decimal.

Command Mode is entered from Converse Mode when this character is typed. If you type the Command Mode entry character while you are already in Command Mode, nothing will happen. To see how this works, enter Converse Mode by typing CONVERS. Anything you type will become packet data. Now type a <CTRL-C>. You will see the Command Mode prompt, indicating successful exit from CONVERSE mode to Command Mode. The display might look like this:

cmd: CONVERS

Hello World! I'm on the air on packet radio! [enter <CTRL-C>]

cmd:

See the entry under CMDTIME or the discussion of Transparent Mode in Chapter 5 for information on how the Command Mode entry character is used for escape from Transparent Mode.

For terminals without a "control" key, you will have to reasign another key such as a graphic symbol or punctuation mark which is normally not used in operations.

The default COMMAND character is <CTRL-C>.
