MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

MARSMODE n Mode: RTTY/ASCII Default: 0

nn=0 to 3 if n=0, MARS QSO mode

The MARsmode command provides two levels of MARS compatibility. Minimal translation is provided by "QSO" mode. In the QSO mode, the MFJ-1278 assumes the user is manually sending and receiving. Maximum translation is provided for sending and storing files of MARS messages while preserving all of the formatting information using the special MARS ASCII equivalent characters, and differs from QSO mode only because of its extra ASCII output translations.

Below are some of the character translations in the Mars QSO mode:

TX Translations:

?CR's converted to CR/CR/LF or to LF only if preceding character was also CR.

?"NNNN" is sent as "NNNN" followed by 12 LTRS.

?Characters are translated as follows:

*CR

=LF

+12 LTRS

@BELL

\NULL

>FIGS

< LTRS

Here are the charcater translations in Mars Storage Mode:

The TX translations are the same as for the QSO mode, plus these RX translations:

CR	*
LF	=
BELL	@
NULL	\
