MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

CONSTAMP ON/OFF		Mode: Packet	Default: OFF
Parameters:

OFF	Connect status messages are not time stamped.

This command enables time stamping of *** CONNECTED status messages. The date and time information is then available for use by Bulletin Board programs or other computer applications. The date and time must be set initially by the DAYTIME command before time stamping will occur. The date format is determined by the DAYUSA command.

For example, if CONSTAMP is ON, DAYUSA is ON, and the date and time have been set, a connect message might appear as follows.

CONVERS Mode: All Immediate Command

CONVERS is an immediate command, and will cause the MFJ-1278B to exit from Command Mode into Converse Mode. Any link connections are not affected. Once in Converse Mode, everything you type is packetized and transmitted over the radio. Typing the Command Mode entry character returns the MFJ-1278B to Command Mode. See the discussions of Converse Mode in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5.

CONVERSE Mode: AMTOR Immediate Command

Switches from AMTOR command mode ( "a_cmd:" prompt) to the text transmission mode. Use CONVERSE after a connection or FEC/SELCALL broadcast is begun to start exchanging data.
