MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS
CONSTAMP ON/OFF
Mode: Packet Default: OFF
Parameters:
ON
Connect and disconnect status messages are time stamped.
OFF
Connect status messages are not time stamped.
This command enables time stamping of *** CONNECTED status messages. The date and
time information is then available for use by Bulletin Board programs or other computer
applications. The date and time must be set initially by the DAYTIME command before
time stamping will occur. The date format is determined by the DAYUSA command.
For example, if CONSTAMP is ON, DAYUSA is ON, and the date and time have been set,
a connect message might appear as follows.
*** CONNECTED to N2WX [05/28/85 16:28:31]
CONVERS
Mode: All Immediate Command
CONVERS is an immediate command, and will cause the MFJ-1278B to exit from
Command Mode into Converse Mode. Any link connections are not affected. Once in
Converse Mode, everything you type is packetized and transmitted over the radio. Typing
the Command Mode entry character returns the MFJ-1278B to Command Mode. See the
discussions of Converse Mode in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5.
CONVERSE
Mode: AMTOR Immediate Command
Switches from AMTOR command mode ( "a_cmd:" prompt) to the text transmission mode.
Use CONVERSE after a connection or FEC/SELCALL broadcast is begun to start
exchanging data.
