Epson MFJ-1278B Listen, Mode Amtor Immediate Command, MAILbox ON/OFF Mode Pactor Default OFF

MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE	OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
LISTEN	Mode: AMTOR	Immediate Command

LISTEN is used to begin monitoring someone else's Mode A connection. You'll need to enter LISTEN to tell the MFJ- 1278B to start synchronizing to the desired signal.

LISTENing to Mode A connections can be irritating if conditions are poor because there is no error correction afforded to stations which are not active participants in the QSO. (also see ERUS)

MAILbox ON/OFF Mode: Pactor Default OFF

Parameters:

ON Brings the Pactor Mailbox on-line.

OFF Takes the Pactor mailbox off-line.

The MAILbox command activates the MFJ-1278B's Pactor Mailbox mode. The MAILbox command works in conjunction with the Packet MAILBOX command. Both the Packet and Pactor Mailbox commands need to be ON, for the Pactor mailbox to function.
