Epson Multi-mode Data Controller MFJ-1278B - Manual (Page 220)

MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
EAS ON/OFF Mode: CW/RTTY/ASCII Default: OFF
Parameter:
ON
Enables Real Time echoing of out-going CW, RTTY, and ASCII text
OFF
Disables Real Time echoing of out-going CW, RTTY, and ASCII text
ECHO-AS SENT is basically the same as the EAS in AMTOR, but is a separate command
from AMTOR. This command must be set independently from the AMTOR EAS command.
When issued from the cmd: prompt, enables Real Time echoing of out-going CW, RTTY,
and ASCII text. When EAS is ON and ECHO is OFF real time echoing of all transmitted
CW, RTTY, and ASCII text is enabled.
EASIN ON/OFF
Mode: AMTOR Default: OFF
EASIN controls whether the MFJ-1278B echos text that you have sent it for transmission at
the instant it is sent. Normally the MFJ-1278B is configured to echo as you type, this is the
default (OFF) state of this parameter.
Setting EASIN ON is useful for monitoring channel quality. If you type a few characters and
they quickly echo, it usually means the link is quite good. On the other hand if it is taking a
long time before the characters echo then the link is not that good.
ECHO ON/OFF
Mode: All Default: ON
Parameters:
ON
Characters received from the computer or terminal are echoed by the MFJ-1278B.
OFF
Characters are not echoed.
This command controls local echoing by the MFJ-1278B when it is in Command or Converse
Mode. Local echoing is disabled in Transparent Mode.
If you don't see your input on the display, you should set ECHO ON. If you see two copies
of every character you type, you should set ECHO OFF. If you see the characters you type
displayed correctly, you have ECHO set correctly.
