MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

This reminds you of what you have done, and indicates that the value has been successfully
changed. If you type something the MFJ-1278B can't understand you will get an error
message. If you type an unrecognized command, you will see the message ?EH. If you get a
command name correct, but the arguments are wrong, you will see the message ?BAD. A
complete list of error messages appears at the end of this chapter. For example,

cmd: ASDFASDF

This is not a command.


?EH

This response indicates MFJ-1278B did not understand

the command.


cmd BEACON E This is a valid command, however a parameter was left

out.


?BAD

This response indicates a bad command. Maybe the

command was a valid command, but a parameter is

missing.

Command List

The commands are listed alphabetically, and each command entry contains several sections,
as follows:

COMMAND NAME

The boldface command name at the top of the entry is the word you will type to have the
MFJ-1278B execute this command. In this section the command names have some of the
characters underlined. These underlined characters form the minimum abbreviation required
so that the MFJ-1278B still understands your command. Of course, you may type out the
entire command word, or any abbreviation longer than the minimum abbreviation, if you like.
The MFJ-1278B accepts either format of command entry used by the user.


For example, the MFJ-1278B requires the minimum abbreviation of, MY for the command
MYCALL. The abbreviation M is not recognized by the MFJ-1278B as the abbreviation of
the MYCALL command. The MFJ-1278B recognizes the abbreviation M as the minimum
abbreviation for the MONITOR command. The MFJ-1278B also accepts the abbreviations
MY, MYC, MYCA, MYCAL or MYCALL for the MYCALL command.

If the command requires parameters, they will be indicated after the command name.

Defaults

For commands that set values, the MFJ-1278B assumes a "most often used" or default
condition. Defaults are values stored in the EPROM that the MFJ-1278B loads into RAM
