MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

MRPT ON/OFF

Mode: Packet Default: ON


Parameters:

ON

Display the stations in the digipeat path for monitored packets.


OFF

Display only the source and destination stations for monitored packets.


This command affects the way monitored packets are displayed. If MRPT is OFF, only the
originating station and the destination are displayed for monitored packets. If MRPT is ON,
the entire digipeat list is displayed for monitored packets, and stations that have already
relayed the packet are indicated with an asterisk.

For example,

WB9FLW>AD7I,K9NG*,N2WX-7:Hi Paul.


This packet, sent from WB9FLW to AD7I, has been relayed by K9NG but not by N2WX-7.
With MRPT OFF, the same packet would be displayed as

WB9FLW>AD7I:Hi Paul.


Setting MRPT ON increases the length of the address display, and you may wish to set
HEADERLN ON as well to display this information on a separate line.


MSPEED n

Mode: CW/MCW Default: 20


Parameters:

n=5 to 99; specifying a characters transmit speed


The value of the MSPEED setting controls the speed of CW sent by the MFJ-1278B. Values
below 5 WPM automatically cause a 5 WPM speed to be selected.

When MSPEED is less than 15 WPM, and FARnswor is ON, the MFJ-1278B uses the
"Farnsworth" method of transmission, where the element (dot and dash) times are equivalent
to 15 WPM but the character spacing of the slower speed is used.
