Epson MFJ-1278B manual Streamca ON/OFF, Mode Packet Default OFF

MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

B:WA7GXD:big band opening...ge

etc.

The same sequence with STREAMCAll OFF would look like the following:

Ahi howie

hello ted how goes it?

B*** CONNECTED to WA7GXD Bmust be a dx record. ge lyle Aunreal ted! fl-az no digis!

etc.

Note that, in the first example, the STREAMSWitch characters "A" and "B" with no ":" after them were entered by the operator of the TNC to switch streams for his multiple- connect QSO(s). If you intend to operate multiple connections (as opposed to having your
