MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
MARSMODE n Mode: RTTY/ASCII Default: 0
n n=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 \
