MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
COMMAND PREFACE
This chapter serves as a complete reference to all the MFJ-1278B operational commands.
These commands control the many variable values, that affect the MFJ-1278B's operation, as
well as causing it to perform specific functions, such as connecting to another station to start
a QSO. You can enter a command to the MFJ-1278B whenever you see the command-mode
prompt:
cmd:
You will change parameters and issue instructions to the MFJ-1278B by typing commands
composed of English-like words or word abbreviations. The English-like words or word
abbreviations, refered to as keywords, sometimes contain variables that are numbers or
strings of characters chosen by the user. You will probably never change some of these
parameters; however, one of MFJ's goals is to allow each user maximum flexibility to adapt
the MFJ-1278B to his environment.
ENTERING COMMANDS
You may use either upper case (capital letters) or lower case (small letters) when you enter
commands. In order to have the MFJ-1278B accept a command, you must finish command
entry with a <CR>, or carriage return character. This will not be mentioned explicitly in the
examples below. Before you type the final <CR> of your command, you can correct typing
mistakes or cancel the line completely. If any command is misspelled to the point where the
MFJ-1278B does not understand it, then an error message will occur. See Chapter 4 for a
discussion of input line editing.
This chapter will use UPPER CASE for commands and lower case for explanatory text. In
examples showing input typed by the user together with the responses of the MFJ-1278B, the
user's input will be shown in bold face.
Whenever the MFJ-1278B accepts a command that changes a value, it will display the
previous value. For example, if you type
XFLOW OFF
the MFJ-1278B will respond with:
XFLOW was ON
